PM dedicates Article 370 move to Patel

‘Centre has fulfilled his dream of full integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India’

Towering leader: Narendra Modi paying tributes to Sardar Patel at the Statue of Unity.ANIANI

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday dedicated the government’s “historic” decision of withdrawing the special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his birth anniversary, and said the Centre had fulfilled Patel’s dream of full integration of J&K with India.

Paying glowing tributes to Sardar Patel at the Statue of Unity built by the Gujarat government on an island on the Narmada near the Sardar Sarovar dam at Kevadia, Mr. Modi said that with the abrogation of Kashmir’s special status under Article 370, Patel’s dream of unifying India was now complete.

Human cost

“The country took the decision of abrogation of [special status to J&K under] Article 370, which had only given separatism and terrorism to that State and over 40,000 people lost their lives in three decades of terrorism,” he said, adding that it was Patel who had inspired him to take the decision to dilute Article 370 and that he was dedicating the decision “at the feet of” the first Home Minister of the country.

Comparing the move on Article 370 with the act of destroying a wall, Mr. Modi said the ‘temporary wall’ between Indians and those living on the other side had been brought down.

While lauding Patel for his efforts at integrating the hundreds of princely States after Independence, Mr. Modi also took a swipe at the country’s first Prime Minister Jawarharlal Nehru, indirectly blaming him for the way Jammu and Kashmir had been handled.

“Patel had once said that had he handled the Kashmir issue, it would not have taken so long to resolve it,” Mr. Modi said, implying that the issue had not been resolved for long since Nehru had handled it directly after Independence.

Without naming Pakistan, the Prime Minister warned that those who tried challenging the country’s unity would never succeed in defeating the country and its “unity in diversity”.

The new system in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, both now Union Territories after the State was bifurcated following the dilution of Article 370 in August, was not meant to draw a line on the land or create a boundary but to build a strong link of trust between the government and the people of both regions, Mr. Modi said.

He also announced that, as promised by the government in August, government employees of Jammu and Kashmir would be treated on a par with other government employees and the Seventh Pay Commission’s scales had come into force from Thursday.

HC grants bail to another medico

01/11/2019, STAFF REPORTER ,MADURAI

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has granted bail to yet another student in the NEET impersonation case. Four medical students have been granted bail in the case so far.

Relief denied to mother

Granting bail to the student on Thursday, Justice G.R. Swaminathan, however, denied the relief to the mother of the student.

The court had already observed that the investigation in the case was at a crucial stage.

The case of the prosecution was that the student wrote NEET in Salem while the impersonator took the test in Kolkata. The Principal District and Sessions Judge, Theni, had earlier denied bail to the daughter-mother duo.

The court had taken a serious view of the impersonation case and observed that people involved in the case must be secured.

The High Court Bench had refused bail to the parents of the students in the case, holding them responsible for placing their wards in the current situation.

Service postgraduate doctors protest at GRH

01/11/2019, STAFF REPORTER,MADURAI

A total of 114 service postgraduate doctors at the Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH) staged a protest in solidarity with their peers in Chennai, here on Thursday.

G. Arivoli, who led the demonstration, said that it was unfair on part of the government to threaten protesting doctors with transfers to obscure places without approaching them and conducting talks.

“The Health Minister must take the effort to ensure that they come to the negotiating table regarding the pay. Dynamic Assured Career Progression that supposedly guarantees pay and time-bound promotion, does not allow career advancement proportionate to the work being carried out,” he said.

Doctors in the State are eligible for time-bound promotions during the 8th, 15th, 17th and 20th year but have sought its reduction to years 4, 9 and 13.

The protesters also demanded that counselling be held regularly for the 500 post graduate vacancies at government medical college hospitals and district hospitals instead of randomly assigning locations to doctors. “Allow service post graduates to apply for counselling and select them based on parameters such as experience. Until two years ago, the government followed the due procedure. Now, we do not understand the metrics necessary for filling up the vacancies. The process lacks transparency,” he said.

Dr. Arivoli added that vacancies in medical college hospitals should be determined based on patient inflow instead of the number of students by the Medical Council of India (MCI).

“The sooner the government initiates talks, the lesser will be the effect on the quality of healthcare. We are only protesting without a choice. The government cannot threaten to transfer doctors as they please,” he added.

Nirbhaya convicts given deadline for mercy plea

One week to appeal to President

01/11/2019, STAFF REPORTER ,NEW DELHI

The Tihar Jail administration sent a notice to four convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape case asking them to apply for mercy plea before the President within seven days.

The notice reads: “Jail administration seeks to inform that all the legal proceedings regarding the case against you (convicts) have been completed. However, the only option remaining in your defence is ‘mercy petition’. Hence, the jail administration seeks to inform you that if you have not filed your ‘mercy petition’ before the President, you may do so within seven days of receiving this notice.”

“If not, then it will be deemed that you do not wish to do so and the administration will begin further proceedings regarding your sentence,” the notice says.

An application by one convict would apply to all four.

Tihar Jail Director-General Sandeep Goel said three of the four convicts are housed in Tihar while the fourth one is in Mandoli jail. The notices, in Hindi and English, were read out to the convicts and the entire process has been videographed, he said.

A senior officer from Tihar jail said the notice was handed over to the convicts on October 29.

“After getting the notices, the convicts became restless. Following the procedure, the Tihar administration will inform the trial court, which has awarded the death penalty to the convicts, about the development,” the officer added.

Meanwhile, the mother of the gangrape victim said: “I welcome the move. I hope that after seven years, my daughter will get justice. It will be the biggest message to people who are involved in crime against women.”

Counsel for the convicts A.P. Singh said he got a call from Tihar Welfare Department about the development.

“I will first apply mercy plea for convict Akshya Thakur, then for others,” said Mr. Singh.

Sex ratio improves in country; birth and death rates dip

Total fertility rate in 12 States has fallen below two children per woman

01/11/2019, BINDU SHAJAN PERAPPADAN,NEW DELHI

India has registered an improved sex ratio and a decline in birth and death rates with non-communicable diseases dominating over communicable in the total disease burden of the country, according to the Central Bureau of Health Intelligence’s (CBHI) National Health Profile (NHP) 2019.

The NHP covers demographic, socio-economic, health status and health finance indicators, human resources in the health sector and health infrastructure. It is also an important source of information on various communicable and non-communicable diseases that are not covered under any other major programmes.

“This information is essential for health system policy development, governance, health research, human resource development, health education and training,” Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said.

As per the NHP, sex ratio (number of females per 1,000 males) in the country has improved from 933 in 2001 to 943 in 2011.

In rural areas the sex ratio has increased from 946 to 949.

“The corresponding increase in urban areas has been of 29 points from 900 to 929. Kerala has recorded the highest sex ratio in respect of total population (1,084), rural population (1,078) and urban (1,091). The lowest sex ratio in rural areas has been recorded in Chandigarh (690),” the report said.

The report also showed that the estimated birth rate, death rate and natural growth rate are declining.

The estimated birth rate reduced from 25.8 in 2000 to 20.4 in 2016 while the death rate declined from 8.5 to 6.4 per 1,000 population over the same period. The natural growth rate declined from 17.3 in 2000 to 14 in 2016 as per the latest available information.

As per the report, the total fertility rate (average number of children that will be born to a woman during her lifetime) in 12 States has fallen below two children per woman and nine States have reached replacement levels of 2.1 and above. Delhi, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal have the lowest fertility rate among other States.

It was also observed that non-communicable diseases dominated over the communicable in the total disease burden of the country.

The NHP also complied a detailed data on health manpower availability in public sector.

“The total number of registered allopathic doctors (up to 2018) is 11,54,686. Number of dental surgeons registered with Central/State Dental Councils of India was 2,54,283. There is an increasing trend in the number of dental surgeons registered with the Central/State Dental Council of India from 2007 to 2018. The total number of registered AYUSH Doctors in India as on January 1, 2018 was 7,99,879,” the report noted.
