22.01.2022
Asenior health officer said that the state government has on the floor of the state assembly announced that they are not getting any super specialist doctors. He said thatthe formerhe alth m inister Nitin Patel had made it clear that not many were willing to join the government sector and were not willing to serve in rural areas. The officersaidthat it is a lso a factthat lack of adequate remuneration is also a factor for doctors and super specialists not opting to work in the government sector.
Another officer said that it has also been obse rved that two or three super speciality doctors join hands and open their own hospital which turns out to be more benefici- al. The government has also started r ecruitingsuperspecialists on a part-time basis, but desp ite this it has failed to attract m uch talent.
Asuperintendent of a civil hospital in Saurashtra said, “In the absence of such super specialists, especially gynaecologists, the hospital has a committee which empowers the hospital to acquire the services of the specialists by pay- ing a fixed amount. Such a committee,known as Rogi Kalyan Samiti, is headed by the respective collectors and hence in a majority of the district hospitals, such practice is widespread as no doctor is willing to joinfull time. ”
Moreover these super specialist doctors prefe r to stay more in urban cities than the rural areas away from the district headquarters.

Of Required 1,392, Shortfall Put At 1,379
Ahmedabad:At a time when the state is battling a massive surge in Covid-19 cases, it is faced with an alarming deficit of super specialists in government hospitals.
Going by government data itself, Gujarat is faced with a 99% shortfall in super specialist doctors like surgeons, paediatricians, obstetricians-gynaecologists and the like.

According to data released in the Handbook of Statistics of India States (20202021) by the Reserve Bank of India, Gujarat has a requirement of 1,392 super specialists, and its shortfall is 99% at1,379. Among all states, only Mizoram fares worse with a 100% shortfall against the requirement of 36 super specialists. All other states fare better than Gujarat in terms of the deficit of super specialists in government healthcare systems.
Maharashtra (64%), Mad- hya Pradesh (96%), Rajasthan (80%), Bihar (46%), Uttar Pradesh (71%) West Bengal (54%) and several other states have a lesserpercentage of deficit of super specialists as compared to Gujarat.
The data reveals that against the required 1,392 surgeons, physicians, paediatricians and obstetrician-gynaecologists, Gujarat has only sanctioned 268 posts and of these there are only 13 posts that are filled.
However, when it comes to appointing doctors in primary health centres, the state has sanctioned 1,869 posts of which1,490 are filled. The state has a shortage of 379 doctors in PHCs against the sanction posts.

New Delhi: Aircraft flying over India will not face any safety issues because of the upcoming 5G mobile services, telecom regulator Trai has said, emphasising that the new-age technology is “prima facie safe” for planes in the country.
The assurance comes at a time when there are growing concerns over the safety of aircraft flying in the US over fears of interference with navigation systems as 5G network starts rolling out across the country.
Several flights to the US have been cancelled or rescheduled as airlines fear that the 5G phone service could pose a risk to aircraft instruments, impacting some popular jets. TNN
Now, domestic fliers can carry only one handbag
Now, domestic fliers can carry only one handbag
22.01.2022
Ahmedabad: Domestic fliers will now have to rework their travel checklist to pack light. According to the latest circular issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), domestic passengers will be allowed to carry only one hand baggage.
The ‘one handbag rule’ has been imposed across airports. The decision has been taken with a view to ease out congestion and other security concerns on ground and reduce burden at the airport screening points.
In a communication to the BCAS on January19, a senior CISF official wrote, “As per BCAS ‘AVSEC’ circular, no passenger should be permitted to carry more than one handbag other than those items already listed in the circular including a lady’s bag. ”
“However, it has been seen that the passengers, on an average, carry two to three handbags till the screening point. This has led to increased clearance time as well as delays and congestion,” the letter mentioned.
Sources at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport in Ahmedabad confirmed that all airlines have been instructed to take necessary steps to enforce the‘one handbag’ rule to ease congestion. Sources also said that airlines have been asked to depute staff to guide passengers as and when necessary and verify their hand bag- gage status.
Frequent travellers have welcomed the move stating it will ease swifter movement through the security checkpoints, but some are confused too. “I usually carry a laptop bag and an overnighter trolley bag when on business trips. It is convenient to web check-in and head straight to the security checkpoint. I prefer not having check-in luggage as I have to travel to Delhi every now and then and the queue at the baggage belt is very long. However, I am wondering how it will pan out with the new rules,” said Shantanu D, a professional.
Airlines have been directed to display the ‘one handbag’ rule on their tickets as well as boarding passes.
Five flights cancelled
Five flights were cancelled from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International airport on Friday. These include flights to Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, which were delayed due to operational constraints. Meanwhile, four more flights to Jaipur, Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai were delayed for departure due to fog early in the morning in Ahmedabad and rotational issues.

Cuddalore: A betrothal, a reception, a shoving match and a wedding with another groom. It had all the elements of romance, pomp and drama.
Just hours before they could say ‘I do’, the couple broke up — over an alleged slap in the face. Within hours of being ‘publicly humiliated’ by her husband-to-be, the bride called off the wedding and married a relative at the scheduled date and time, but a venue seven kilometres away. The spurned groom has now lodged a complaint with the Panruti all-women police station seeking compensation of ₹7 lakh, which his family spent for the reception and wedding arrangements.
Police said a youth from Periyakattupalayam near Panruti employed as a senior engineer in a private firm in Chennai and a postgraduate woman from Panruti were formally engaged with the blessings of their parents and elders of both families on November 6.
The elders decided to hold the reception on January 19 in Panruti and the wedding the following day in Kadampuliyur village. The organisers had even arranged a DJ for the reception, held the day before the wedding as is the custom in some communities. The groom and bride were happily dancing to the tunes of the DJ and everything went smooth until the bride's cousin joined them on the floor. Her cousin initially held the hands of the couple and danced with them. Soon, he came in between them, placed his arms around the shoulders of the couple and started dancing with them, irking the groom.
The groom pushed away the cousin and the bride. What happened next was a blur. The bride's family insists that the groom slapped her in front of all the guests in the hall when she joined him on the decked up stage after the dance
Bride’s family managed to find groom within hrs
Shocked and humiliated, the tearful bride called off the wedding. Her parents approved her decision. They walked out in a huff, managed to find a suitable groom among their relatives within hours and the following morning, the bride married the new groom at the scheduled time and date and a new venue.
The rejected groom said in his complaint that the bride's parents and relatives charged him with ill-treating her and added they physically assaulted him and verbally abused him.
"When she reached the stage after dancing, I asked her why she danced with others. For which, she replied that it was her decision to dance. Soon her parents and relatives accused me of threatening her even before tying the knot and abused and assaulted me. They said they will teach me a lesson by stopping the marriage and marrying their daughter off to another man,” the groom said in his complaint. “We have spent more than ₹7 lakh for the reception and the wedding. We request you to help us in getting the compensation," he a dded in the complaint.
Panruti all-women police inspector S Valli said the groom was accused of slapping the bride for dancing with her cousin following which the bride rejected the groom and her parents got her married to another man. “We have received complaints from both sides. We have instructed the parties of the two sides to come for inquiries tomorrow (Saturday),” said Valli.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a builder, IREO Pvt Ltd, to refund crores of rupees to flat buyers who wanted refund of their investment as the realtor sold a dream home with Italian marble floor, golf course view and other luxurious amenities to them in the brochure but failed to provide for the promised facilities.
The project ‘Skyon’ on golf course extension road in Gurugram was delayed by years and when the flat buyers, each of whom had invested in excess of ₹2 crore, demanded re-fund, IREO Pvt Ltd threatened to deduct 20% of their invested money. They moved consumer court and were granted refund of the principal money with interest of 10. 5% as provided under Haryana RERA.
IREO through Ankur Seh- gal appealed against the decision of the NCDRC before the SC. Sehgal said that there is a green belt provided by the builder but there was no golf course. The bench said, “You (builder) sell a dream to the home buyers but do not provide the promised amenities. When the promised amenities are not provided, they are entitled to a refund of their investments with interest. ” The SC agreed that such deviations entitled the flat buyers to demand refund and upheld the NCDRC order. IREO now has to pay back ₹2. 2 crore to one flat buyer and another ₹ 4. 68 crore, both with interest of 10. 5%.
