Bengaluru:11.02.2021 

Medical students should lead the Covid-19 inoculation programme by taking the vaccine, said K Sudhakar, health and medical education minister, during the inauguration of the obstetric triage at Vani Vilas Hospital in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

Sudhakar’s comments come in the wake of medicos postponing the jab citing exams. “Medical students should be ambassadors of the drive,” he said. “Other staff will then be inspired. There are no side effects. Students should shoulder the responsibility of boosting morale of the public.”

He said some states had announced a cut in salary if employees refuse inoculation, but Karnataka hasn’t gone that far. “More than 25 countries want our vaccines. Here, it is being offered free. People should take it,” he said. He said Covid has taught people the importance of health. “Health infrastructure has improved. Today the health and medical education departments have 30,000 oxygenated beds, up from 7.500 prior to the pandemic,” he said.

No trial, no vax for pregnant women: Experts

Pune:11.02.2021 

Public health experts have said pregnant women and lactating mothers should not be given Covid-19 vaccine since trials have not been conducted on such subjects.

Dr Vinod Paul, Niti Aayog member (health), said, “There have been no trials for this group. So they cannot be administered vaccines.”

“Pregnant and lactating women are left out of trials as no one wants to risk damage to mother or baby,” said vaccine scientist Dr Gagandeep Kang. “Current vaccines can’t be tried on them.” TNN

‘What Am I — Revolutionary Or Criminal?’ Asks Ashish Chaturvedi

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Bhopal:11.02.2021 

The Madhya Pradesh high court has issued notices to the state government and DG (prisons), seeking their explanation on a PIL filed by Vyapam whistleblower Ashish Chaturvedi, alleging that he was kept under detention for 18 hours despite bail.

“I was fighting for a cause and the arrest has led to a blot on my image. I won’t get a government job. Let the government declare if I am a revolutionary or a criminal,” Chaturvedi says in the PIL.

Chaturvedi was sent to jail on August 9, 2018, by a special court in Gwalior after he failed to heed repeated summons to record his statement in connection with a complaint he had filed on one of the alleged kingpins of the Vyapam case, Rahul Yadav. Police executed a non-bailable warrant to produce him in court.

During the hearing, Chaturvedi appeared without his lawyer. When he was asked to record his statement, he refused. He was warned that he would be arrested and let off only if he paid a surety of Rs 200. But Chaturvedi refused to budge and was sentenced to jail for 15 days.

“On very same day, the fine of Rs 200 was deposited (by someone on his behalf) and the fourth additional sessions judge, Vyapam, Gwalior, ordered his release. Even after issuance of release warrant, Chaturvedi was kept in custody in Gwalior Central Jail from the evening of August 9, 2018, till 8am on August 10, 2018. This illegal custody is highly objectionable, and deserves cognizance against the responsible officers,” says the petition.

An anguished Chaturvedi said, “I was jailed in the same prison that houses Vyapam accused. My detention, despite the release warrant, was illegal, arbitrary and unlawful.”

In a PIL filed before Madhya Pradesh HC, Ashish Chaturvedi alleged that he was kept under detention for 18 hours despite bail

NOC from competitors? No need, HC tells NGU

NOC from competitors? No need, HC tells NGU

Ahmedabad:11.02.2021 

The Gujarat high court said that there cannot be the pre-condition of obtaining an NOC from a competitor college within a 25-km radius to start an educational institution in the same discipline.

With this observation, the bench of Justice Vineet Kothari and Justice Gita Gopi said that the provision of Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University can be dispensed with by which it grants affiliation to an education institute only after it obtains an NOC from another institute imparting education in the same discipline within a 25-km radius.

The issue involved Swamy Vivekanand Education Trust, which wanted to start a college in Kadi in 2013 and requested the university for affiliation. The university received an opinion from its local inspection committee and granted affiliation to the trust. But another institute being run by MP Shah Education Society objected and moved the HC claiming that its NOC was not obtained. A single-judge bench held that the new college should have obtained an NOC from the nearby existing institute.

The issue reached to the division bench, which expressed its “dismay” at the existence of such a system in NGU. The judges observed, “On an overview of the situation also and with the rapid increase in the population and number of students increasing ever, we cannot even appreciate the restrictions put about the existence of more than one or more educational institutions to provide such education and these variety of factors which may be relevant to determine the need for setting up of more of such educational institutions, which is ever changing and therefore, no static criteria or yardsticks can be fixed even by the competent bodies under the Act of 1986.”

For affiliation, a new college needed an NOC from another college of same discipline if it was within a 25-km radius

3 needles removed from woman’s body

3 needles removed from woman’s body

Ahmedabad:11.02.2021 

A 25-year-old woman from Jammu & Kashmir had a freak accident, as she fell on needles in a carpet she was weaving, and three needles pierced her. The knitting needles had penetrated deep into her abdomen, causing her severe pain.

“She was brought to Civil Hospital by reference earlier this month. When her CT scan and other tests were performed, we learned that the needles were very near the large intestine and piercing the intestine could lead to sepsis,” said a gastric surgeon. The team pinpointed the locations of each needle and extracted them in a two-hour surgery.

Officials said that an image intensifier system was brought in for the surgery which helped locate the needles precisely. “The circulation of needles in other parts of the body could have also proved fatal,” said an official. TNN
