To introduce a new & novel method of obtaining big lung tissue samples by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy by twin bronchoscopes (kissing technique) in an advanced interventional pulmonology suite.
In patients of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy were taken using this novel approach using simultaneously two bronchoscopes under C- arm guidance under conscious sedation. First, a standard fibreoptic bronchoscope was inserted intranasally and fixed just above the area to be biopsied, then fogarty's catheter was introduced through FOB's suction channel and protruded it at the biopsy site. Second, another video bronchoscope was introduced orally by the side of FOB and cryobiopsy were taken using cryobiopsy forceps. Immediately, Fogarty's catheter was inflated and sealed the opening from where biopsy was taken to stop the bleeding. Third Video bronchoscope was also used which went up to larynx to take photograph of two bronchoscopes kissing each other and entering the vocal cords only, after which it was withdrawn.
Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in patients of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases were taken using this novel approach. This new technique called twin bronchoscopy (Kissing technique) has been practiced for the first time, it's a technique about which we want the world to be known.
This new and novel two scope kissing bronchoscopy technique for TBLC under conscious sedation can be an alternative and fruitful method, especially the use of Fogarty's catheter to contain intra-bronchial bleeding. There is no deleterious effect on the patient and the patient can be discharged on the same day.

There was a dancing ball in RUL which was moving. Patient was initially managed conservatively but finally had to undergo lobectomy to achieve permanent cure.
To introduce a new method to do safe bronchoscopy, a highly aerosol generating procedure through disposable COVID box in this difficult COVID time.
We have introduced an unbelievably cheap and effective method "DISPOSABLE COVID BOX". We took an acrylic board 70×20cm and attached 3 bars 32cm long and slide it under the side of the patient. A similar contraption is used on the other side. Then, it is covered by a polypropylene sheet 2'×2'. It makes a completely disposable airtight chamber with the polypropylene sheet. We make a 1 cm nick in the sheet and introduce the video-bronchoscope, which is further navigated into the patient without any discomfort either to the patient or Bronchoscopist. When the procedure is finished, scope is withdrawn from the patient and the polypropylene sheet is squeezed out. The polypropylene sheet is removed and disposed off with all precautions, and the acrylic boards and the bars are cleaned with 1% Sodium hypochlorite solution. This way, the cost is only of polypropylene sheet which is negligible.
Videobronchoscopies in indicated patients were done using this novel disposable covid box. This new invention called Disposable COVID box has been practiced for the first time, it's an innovative technique about which we want the world to be known.
To conclude, there are no aerosols released in atmosphere after the procedure, making it absolutely safe for bronchoscopist and at same time patient also remains safe. We are ready again in no time with fresh polypropylene sheet to do the next bronchoscopy.

Logo have been launched is circular with yellow and red colour. Name of program is in circular and with caption "TB Harega Desh Jeetega". There is red colour joyful person surrounded by National Flag with image of lung in the logo. Present letter highlights observation and comments on the new NTEP logo.A group of TB experts with vast clinical and epidemiological experience were drawn from a pool of doctors, epidemiologists and scientists participating in NATCON 2020 Conference in a closed-door session to discuss, highlight, and prioritize key resolutions that are most pertinent at present to eliminate TB from India and other developing countries in the Covid and post-COVID era. These Scientific experts were non-industry persons who met on 17th December, 2020 and used the prevailing scientific literature along with 2019 Joint Monitoring Mission document as a starting point of the discussion on this specific topic to build an agreement upon the resolutions. After the meeting on the virtual platform, all the attending doctors gave a set of recommendations on rebuilding TB Elimination programme in the Covid and Post-Covid era. Focused scientific roundtable discussion on rebuilding TB Elimination Post-Covid. Develop actionable recommendations for the scientific community and the government leadership to consider in moving forward. To prioritize the recommendations in the categories of Build-Prevent-Detect-Treat.COVID-19 pandemic has disturbed the delivery of health care in almost all countries of the world. This has affected mostly the public health control programs. Because of lock downs, restrictions in movement, psychological fear of contacting the disease in health care facilities, diversion of health care workers for containment and management of COVID-19, utilization of diagnostic facilities like CBNAAT machines for COVID work, conversion of hospitals for care of these patients, financial diversion etc has created issues in the NTEP to focuss on TB control in India. Case notification and other areas of the program to achieve End TB by 2025 have suffered. Various ways of overcoming these difficulties have been discussed.
