    The enhanced demand is being driven by various factors, such as seasonal tilling and harvesting activities across rural agricultural belts. Also, due to the price difference between suppliers other than PSU’s, there is movement of customers to Public Sector Retail Outlets and additional demand has also emerged due to migration of institutional and commercial consumers to retail fuel outlets.

    IndianOil continues to maintain uninterrupted supplies through their extensive nationwide network of terminals, depots, pipelines, LPG bottling plants and retail outlets. Supply teams, transport networks, terminal operations and select Retail Outlets are functioning round the clock to ensure seamless product movement and timely replenishment across markets. IndianOil is maintaining close coordination with state administration for seamless fuel supplies.

    IndianOil would like to reassure consumers that adequate stocks of PetrolDiesel and LPG are available across the country, and all necessary measures are being taken to maintain smooth and uninterrupted supplies.

    Citizens are advised to continue with normal purchasing behaviour and avoid panic buying. Consumers are also requested to rely only on official communications issued by authorised agencies of IndianOil for accurate information related to fuel availability.

  • Simple Diet and Hydration Tips to Help Lower Kidney Stone Risk

    Amritsar, May 23 : Kidney stones are becoming increasingly common today, especially among younger adults who are constantly juggling long work hours, irregular eating habits, low water intake and high consumption of processed foods. What makes the condition difficult is that many people do not realise how strongly everyday lifestyle choices influence kidney stone formation until they experience severe pain or discomfort themselves said Dr. Manbir Singh, Consultant, Urology, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Amritsar.

    Simple Diet and Hydration Tips to Help Lower Kidney Stone Risk

    While genetics and certain medical conditions can increase the risk, diet and hydration continue to play one of the biggest roles in prevention. The good part is that small and practical changes in daily habits can go a long way in lowering the chances of developing stones or preventing recurrence.

    Why hydration matters more than most people think

    According to National Institute of Health one of the simplest yet most overlooked reasons behind kidney stones is inadequate water intake. When the body remains dehydrated, urine becomes more concentrated. This allows minerals and salts to stick together and gradually form crystals that can eventually turn into stones.

    Many people believe drinking water only when thirsty is enough, but thirst is often a late sign of dehydration. A simple way to understand hydration is by checking urine colour. A simple way to check hydration is by looking at the colour of your urine. If it is pale or light yellow, the body is usually getting enough fluids. Darker urine can often be a sign that you need to drink more water. We also recommend making plain water the main source of daily hydration. Coconut water, lemon water and plain buttermilk can also support fluid intake in moderation. However, sugary beverages, excess soft drinks and artificially sweetened drinks may increase the risk of stones in some individuals.

    Simple dietary habits that can help lower risk

    Many people immediately assume they need to completely avoid calcium when they hear about kidney stones. In reality, cutting down calcium unnecessarily may sometimes do more harm than good. A balanced intake of calcium from natural food sources like curd, milk and paneer can actually help bind oxalates in the gut and reduce stone formation risk.

    At the same time, excess salt intake is something people should pay closer attention to. High sodium consumption can increase calcium levels in urine, which may contribute to stone development. Packaged snacks, instant foods, processed meats and restaurant meals often contain hidden sodium in large amounts.

    Another important factor is moderation with foods high in oxalates for people who are already prone to stones. Spinach, beetroot, nuts and chocolate are nutritious foods, but excessive intake without balance may not be ideal for everyone.

    Protein intake also plays an important role in kidney stone risk. Consuming large amounts of red meat and processed meat may increase uric acid levels in the body, which can contribute to stone formation in some people. On the other hand, adding more fruits, vegetables and fiber rich foods to the diet can help support better kidney health. Citrus fruits like lemons and oranges may also help because they contain citrate that is a compound that can reduce the chances of crystals forming in urine.

  • Western Pop Artist Kat Velasco Releases “Shutting Down Midtown” Today, Continuing Build Toward Debut Album Cowgirl Complex

    Kat Velasco continues building momentum ahead of her debut album Cowgirl Complex with her new single “Shutting Down Midtown,” out today on all major streaming platforms.

    Credit Justin Hammond

    LOS ANGELES, CA – May 22, 2026 – Western pop artist Kat Velasco releases her new single “Shutting Down Midtown,” out today on all major streaming platforms. The track is a vibrant, story-driven celebration of Nashville’s Midtown nightlife, offering a portrait of the city’s late-night culture beyond its renowned Broadway strip.

    While Nashville is best known for its honky tonks on Broadway, “Shutting Down Midtown” turns its attention to another iconic pocket of the city, one defined by its mix of locals, visiting party crowds, and the artists who call it home.

    Written alongside close friends and collaborators Johnny Gates and Joey Myron, the song brings Midtown’s nightlife to life with vivid detail and name checks to local staples including Losers and Red Door, positioning the track as both an anthem and an unofficial guide to a night out in Nashville.

    “Nashville gets painted as this one thing but if you live here, you know it’s so much more than just Broadway… There are all these different corners of the city that feel like their own world and of course, Midtown is one of them. This song is about those nights, blended with all types of people… I think the majority of locals have been caught ‘Shutting Down Midtown’ if I had to guess,” Kat Velasco shares.

    Kat Velasco’s music reflects a shift toward self-definition, shaped by stepping away from expectation to fully embrace her voice as an artist. After initially pursuing a more traditional career path, she ultimately committed to songwriting full-time, developing her sound in Nashville through collaboration and self-driven storytelling.

    Now over half a million streams into her career with early support from Spotify and CMT, she is carving out a distinct lane in Western pop through her self-described “complex cowgirl” identity, rooted in Southern upbringing, shaped by Nashville, and defined by a modern, unfiltered perspective. That evolution leads into her debut era, anchored by her forthcoming album Cowgirl Complex and a series of releases expanding her narrative world.

    Blending country storytelling with pop and rock influences, Velasco’s music is grounded in real-life experience and emotional honesty, earning early comparisons to Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris. Her recent releases, including “You’re Drunk” (2026), “I Should Quit Drinking” with Johnny Gates (2026), and “Show Pony” (2025), build a catalog defined by vulnerability, attitude, and sharp observational songwriting ahead of her debut album.

    Prior to the webinar, Eric Altman joined Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss V70 in detail on the Technology Reseller News podcast. 

    What’s next?

    Vodia continues to expand and improve V70, and the company has already evolved the platform to V70.2. Development will continue throughout 2026 with ongoing improvements focused on real-world deployments, scalability, and operational visibility.

    User Feedback Matters

    Vodia believes the best way to improve its platform is by working closely with its partners and customers.
