Faridkot, August 30

To meet the Supreme Court deadline of August 31 to complete all admissions on MBBS and BDS seats in 22 medical and dental colleges in Punjab, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) on Wednesday announced to start the physical counselling at 3 pm on Thursday.

The counselling is being organised after three deferments in the last five days.

As candidates from different parts of the country and all parts of Punjab are expected to participate in this mop-up round of physical counselling, the BFUHS is trying it hard to complete the admissions before the clock strikes 12 midnight.

In the aftermath of CBI court verdict in the dera case and delicate law and order situation in the state, BFUHS had postponed counselling for MBBS and BDS admissions three times in the last five days.

Supreme Court and Medical Council of India (MCI) have set August 31 as deadline to complete admission process on all MBBS and BDS seats.

SC quashes order debarring college from admitting students

New Delhi, August 30

The Centre’s decision debarring a Dehradun-based medical college from admitting students for two years was today quashed by the Supreme Court which observed a “cryptic and mechanical order” was passed which cannot stand judicial scrutiny.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra directed the government and the Medical Council of India (MCI) to permit the college to admit up to 150 students till September 5 for the 2017-18 academic session and allot seats in the MBBS course through central counselling as per merit.

The bench, also comprising Justices Amitava Roy and A M Khanwilkar, observed in its judgement that despite the apex court asking the competent authority to reconsider the matter, “it opted to pass a cryptic and mechanical order which suffers from the vice of non-application of mind, if not perverse”.

The verdict came on the pleas filed by a trust which had moved the court against various orders passed by the competent authority debarring its college from admitting students for two academic sessions, besides authorising Medical Council of India to encash bank guarantee of Rs 2 crore offered by the institute.

“The impugned decision of the competent authority of the Central Government dated August 14 is quashed and set aside. Further, respondents are directed to permit the college to admit up to 150 students until September 5 for the academic session 2017-18 and allot (seats to) students through central counselling in order of their merit for the academic session 2017-18 in the MBBS course,” the bench said.

The apex court noted that reconsideration of the matter by the Centre was a mere formality in this case and no sincere effort was made by the competent authority to analyse the materials placed on record by the college.

“This is nothing short of abdication of statutory duty.

That cannot be countenanced, especially when the matter was sent back to the competent authority by this court vide order dated August 1...,” it said.

In its August 14 order, the competent authority had reiterated its earlier decision of debarring the trust from admitting students for the academic session 2017-18 and 2018- 19 and authorising

the MCI to encash the bank guarantee. The competent authority had passed the order on the ground that there were some discrepancies regarding the faculty, residents, OPD and bed occupancy there. — PTI

The Blue Whale Challenge has seemingly claimed a life in Tamil Nadu's Madurai. A 19-year-old college student from Thirumangalam -- Vignesh -- committed suicide by hanging himself on Wednesday. Vignesh was a second year student at Mannar College in Madurai. He was found hanging around 4:15 pm.

Police confirmed the image of a whale carved on Vignesh's left forearm with a blade and the words "Blue Whale" were written beneath it.

A note was also recovered from the spot which said, "Blue Whale- This is not a game but danger. Once you enter, you can never exit".

Vignesh's friends told the police that they saw him attempting the Blue Whale Challenge on his phone. Since there are no applications or website for the challenge, friends would have meant they saw Vignesh using his phone more than usual because the challenge involves conversing with a curator over messages, or sometimes, calls.



Further investigation is underway in the case.

Tamil Nadu Police had recently released a circular asking parents to keep an eye for children attempting the Blue Whale Challenge on the computer or their phones and to monitor their behaviour.

WHAT THE BLUE WHALE CHALLENGE IS

The Blue Whale Challenge -- a dare-based "game" that requires participants to complete 50 tasks in 50 days, and the ultimate task being committing suicide by jumping of a high-rise -- originated in Russia in 2013. The creator of the challenge, Philipp Budeikin, was arrested in May and sentenced to three years in prison. He had confessed, in an interview, that he deliberately incited 17 teenagers into committing suicide. Philipp, 22, said that he was eliminating people 'who do not represent any value, cause harm or will cause harm to the society' from the face of the Earth.

The Blue Whale Challenge, at least when it originated, had a curator who gets in touch with people who are curious about the game and posts from their social media accounts asking to be found. They use different hashtags for this purpose. Once the curator stalks those who posts with these hashtags and realises they're vulnerable, they talk to these people, mostly teenagers, in private messages.

Teenagers take up the challenge to prove a point to themselves and to their peers. Many think they will stop taking the tasks if the curator asks them to do dangerous deeds like jumping into a river despite not knowing how to swim, but usually they don't succeed in avoiding the urge to do the task.

Tasks range from listening to certain songs (we have heard some, and it's quite disturbing when listened to on loop) at 4 20 AM, isolating oneself, cutting oneself, travelling alone, watching horror clips, movies curators send at 4 20 AM, talking to fellow players over Skype, spending time in cemeteries, accepting one is about to die, accepting the date the curator says one will die on, and finally jumping off a high-rise killing oneself.
