A 28-year-old postgraduate student of Midnapore Medical College was found hanging in the hostel on Tuesday night.

Mini Ghosh, a resident of Kandi in Murshidabad, was in her second year of MD (Paediatrics). She had cleared her MBBS from Calcutta National Medical College.

Dr Tarapada Ghosh, head of paediatrics, said Mini was a bright student and was preparing for a seminar.

Police have not found a suicide note and are probing the case. The body was sent for autopsy on Wednesday.

Father Binay Ghosh, who arrived here to receive the body, said Mini called them twice every day — at noon and before bed at night. When she skipped routine on Tuesday, her family tried calling her, but she did not answer. They assumed she was busy until the news reached them.

Lucknow:11.11.2021

A child with his unborn twin attached to his lower back was successfully operated and disjointed from it by a team of doctors at King George’s Medical University’s (KGMU) pediatric surgery department.

The two-hour long surgery was performed on November 3 under the guidance of department head Prof J D Rawat, Dr Piyush Kumar, Dr Sudhir Singh and Dr Anand Pandey.

Doctors performed the intricate surgery and separated the abortive twin, who had two legs, hands and back but no head, from the fully formed child.

“On August 25, a woman in Sitapur had given birth to a child having a mass, legs and hands attached to its back. The family got worried over the abnormal growth and rushed the newborn to the local hospital from where they were referred to KGMU,” said Prof Rawat.

“The MRI showed that the mass was an abortive twin attached to the child’s back over the lumbar spine and spinal cord. The child was successfully freed from the burden of the mass growing on its back and is doing well,” he added.

Vegetable prices rise in Kerala as supply from TN dips due to floods

Vegetable prices rise in Kerala as supply from TN dips due to floods

KOCHI: The shortage of supplies from other states, especially Tamil Nadu, which was badly hit by floods, has resulted in a surge in vegetable prices in Kerala. In the last three weeks, the prices of vegetables including tomato, beans and drumstick have seen a three-fold surge. Wholesale dealers said that even before the beginning of Deepavali, there was a shortage of supply from Tamil Nadu, from where over 60 per cent of supplies are coming to Kerala.

This has resulted in a sudden surge in prices of vegetables. Schools reopened in the state last week and there was an increase in demand for vegetables. This was also another reason for the price hike.

"There is a 30 per cent dip in overall quantity of loads arriving from Tamil Nadu every week.

The suppliers have informed us that the cultivation in low-lying areas was severely affected due to floods. The volume of cultivation was also low during the last few months resulting in a dip in supply," said Ernakulam Market Stall Owners Association president K K Ashraf. He said that other than Chinese potato (Koorkka,) the prices of all other vegetables have witnessed a surge in the last couple of weeks.

Among vegetables, tomato price in the retail market touched Rs 80 on Wednesday. Ashraf said that in the wholesale market, tomato is priced at Rs 55 and the retailers will add their margin to the actual price, which has resulted in the surge. There are also complaints from consumers that there is no uniformity in price and it varies from shop to shop. "The vegetable vendors/retailers are charging as per their will for vegetables. If we get a kilogram of tomato for Rs 80 from one shop, another shop nearby will charge Rs 75 or Rs 85, as per their will. Most of the shops do not display the price list," said Harikrishnan, a resident of Vazhakkala.
