In another decision, the govt scrapped the suspension of seven Midnapore Medical College & Hospital junior doctors (which followed the death of a mother after a C-sec delivery). The CM also outlined her expectations from the community: doctors should spend at least eight hours at workplace and seniors should not leave patient care, including C-section deliveries, to juniors. Doctors should not have any “political colour”; and they should rise above politics and have “only one colour (humanity)”, she said.
NAAC purges 900 assessors after corruption allegations
We dropped more than 900 assessors. In some cases, the data about these assessors was insufficient; in others, we reviewed their assessments and found them lacking. Some were removed based on feedback we received, and in others, we analysed how they wrote their reports,” NAAC director Ganesan Kannabiran told TOI. “In some cases, we compared the two assessment reports and felt that certain assessors’ performance did not meet NAAC’s requirements,” Kannabiran added.

84 drug batches fail quality test, commonly used antacids, diabetes meds among them
24.02.2025
New Delhi : As many as 84 batches of drugs, including some commonly-prescribed steroids and cholesterol-lowering drugs, were found to be ‘not-of-standard quality’ in the latest round of inspections carried out by the drug control authorities across country. CDSCO, which is the apex body responsible for approval of new drugs & clinical trials, has issued an alert regarding this.
It issues alerts about nonstandard quality drugs being sold in the market monthly. According to its latest data, for Dec 2024, they found 84 batches of drugs manufactured by various firms to be of ‘not-of-standard quality’ (NSQ). This includes some of the drugs prescribed for common conditions such as acidity, high levels of cholesterol, diabetes and bacterial infections among others. Identification of drug samples as NSQ is done based on failure of the drug sample in one or the other specified quality parameters.
The failure is specific to the drug products of the batch tested by govt, officials said. “This action of identifying NSQ and spurious medicines is taken on a regular basis in collaboration with state regulators to ensure that these drugs are identified & removed from the market,” they added. Recently, CDSCO introduced new guidelines for inspections. It stated all drug inspectors in the country should collect at least 10 samples in a month; nine samples of drugs and one sample of cosmetics/ medical device. TNN

Boy, 17, driving dad’s minivan mows down 53-yr-old woman Older
Man Arrested For Letting Minor Drive
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 24.02.2025
Chennai : A 17-year-old boy trying to move his father’s minivan parked outside their house in Kancheepuram on Sunday morning accidentally killed a 53-year-old woman. The older man was later arrested for allowing a minor to drive the vehicle. Police said the boy, whose father Rasa prepares snacks at home and delivers them to shops in his minivan, was trying to move the vehicle in front of their house on Gangai Amman Temple Street at 6.30 am when he lost control. The vehicle hit Saraswathi, who was drawing a kolam in front of her house, then collided with a pushcart and a scooter before stopping.
A few of their neighbours rushed to help when the minivan trapped Saraswathi underneath. They lifted the vehicle off her, but she died on the spot. A team of the Sivakanchi police arrived, took the boy into custody for questioning and sent Saraswathi’s body to the Kancheepuram Govt Hospital for a postmortem examination. Investigations revealed that neither Rasa nor his son knew how to drive and hired a driver to deliver snacks.
“The son occasionally tried operating the vehicle to learn driving,” said a police officer. Police suspect that in panic, the boy accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake. They registered a case against Rasa for negligence and for allowing his minor son to operate the vehicle. Investigations continue. “We have been creating awareness about dangers involved in underage driving. But people continue to flout norms,” said the officer.
