Man demands details of treatment given to wife at GH

The woman had alleged that she contracted HIV following a blood transfusion four years ago

The husband of the 28-year-old woman of Kudhiraikaran Pudhur village near Mettur, who is undergoing treatment after testing positive for HIV, has urged the district administration to provide the details of the treatment provided to his wife at the Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital (GMKMCH) in the city in 2014.

The woman had alleged that she contracted HIV following a blood transfusion during her first pregnancy at the Mechery Primary Health Centre four years ago.

The Health Department had denied the allegation stating that all the available records proved that the blood transfused to the woman did not have HIV infection.

However, the woman’s husband, a lorry driver, presented a petition to District Collector on Monday stating that his wife was admitted to GMKMCH for delivery and she was in the hospital from August 11 to 28.

During this period, a unit of blood was transfused to her.

The Health Department officials have not furnished any details of this blood transfusion while refuting the allegation of his wife.

He said that the failure of the Health Department officials to mention about the blood transfusion at the GMKMCH was giving room for the doubt that the official machinery was hiding the facts.

He also took exception to the statement of the officials that his wife had contracted HIV infection due to “other reasons”, which he said had caused mental agony to his wife, the petition said.

He has also sought the copies of case sheets, issue register, master records prepared when his wife underwent treatment at GMKMCH, through Right to Information Act.

Nurses allege they were cheated by advocate

Request Collector’s intervention to get the money paid to him back

Alleging that they were cheated to the tune of more than Rs. 40 lakh collectively by an advocate practising in the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on the promise of permanent jobs in government hospitals, a group of nurses urged the district administration on Monday to help them get the money back.

More than 20 nurses, who were among the 48 nurses employed in primary health centres in the district on contract basis for three years since 2013, in their petition presented to Collector K. Veera Raghava Rao, said they were cheated after they gave Rs. 1.5 lakh each to the advocate, and sought his intervention to get their money back.

M. Vasuki, who led the nurses, said after the completion of contract period, their colleague Rajeswari suggested that her husband Ravi, an employee in Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation, knew a senior advocate in Madurai and he could help in getting their services regularised by filing a writ petition.

Initially, they gave Rs. 7,000 each and the advocate provided them the writ petition number and told them that he had filed a case on their behalf seeking a direction to the State government to regularise their services. A couple of years later, the advocate informed them that they won the case but could get the posts only if officials in the department concerned were bribed, she said.

In their anxiety to get permanent jobs in government hospitals, 28 of the nurses gave Rs. 1.5 lakh each to the advocate, but they did not get jobs, she said.

After realising that they were taken for a ride, the nurses presented a petition to the then Superintendent of Police, Madurai, in July 2017. Later, the Crime Branch police, after making a preliminary enquiry, said they could not take up the case as the amount involved was more than Rs. 25 lakh, which was beyond their jurisdiction.

The Crime Branch police also said the advocate failed to appear before them after responding to the first summons, she said.

The group of nurses also presented a petition to Ramanathapuram SP Omprakash Meena, she said.

After 5-mnth gap, guv appoints MKU vice-chancellor

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai:01.01.2019

A few days after appointing Dr Sudha Seshayyan as the new Dr MGR University vice-chancellor, governor and chancellor Banwarilal Purohit appointed M Krishnan as the vicechancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University.

“Purohit has appointed Krishnan as vicechancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University for a period of three years with effect from the date of his assumption of office. Krishnan is endowed with rich experience. He was head of environmental biotechnology in Bharathidasan University and a professor of the Central University in Ajmer, Rajasthan,” said a press release from Raj Bhavan.

The VC vacancy arose after the Madras high court in July set aside the appointment of P P Chellathurai as the vice-chancellor of the university. The high court set aside the appointment on the ground that the proceedings of the search committee were flawed without expressing any opinion on eligibility and noticing Chellathurai has been dropped from the criminal case after investigation. “Krishnan has been a fellow of Royal Entomological Society, London, Society for Science and Environment, India, a Commonwealth Fellow, UK and of Japan Prize Foundation. He has a teaching experience of 28 years and is a visiting professor of various universities such as the Okayama University of Science, Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Biomedicine, Helsinki and University of Exeter, University of Edinburgh, Scotland,” read the press release.

He has presented 128 research papers in international conferences, published 60 research articles in UGC listed journals and authored two books in the field of molecular biology, the release said.

Tiruvarur: Cyclone fury could affect AIADMK’s prospects
Turf Stronghold Of DMK, But Parties Must Prove Mettle Sans Karuna, Jaya
B Sivakumar & R Gokul | TNN 01.01.2019

Cyclone Gaja that wrought devastation in the delta districts, tardy relief besides a whole host of issues, including corruption charges against the ruling dispensation, are likely to influence the outcome of the January 28 Tiruvarur byelection. The constituency has largely favoured the DMK with former party president M Karunanidhi contesting and winning the constituency twice. But, the contest would be a tough one and a precursor to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, just a few months away.

It will be an action-packed byelection, considering that the key players like the DMK, AIADMK and AMMK would be testing their strength after the death of leaders J Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi. If estranged DMK leader M K Alagiri decides to play spoilsport, he could prove to be a headache for the DMK.

Soon after the EC’s announcement on Monday, the DMK and AIADMK asked candidates interested in contesting to submit applications.

Later, DMK president M K Stalin told reporters that the Tiruvarur byelection would be a cakewalk for his party. “We have a definite strategy and the support of other parties. We are sure about the issues that have to be raised during campaign,” Stalin told reporters at the party headquarters in Chennai, where he held a meeting with senior party leaders. DMK won seven times from Tiruvarur, the CPM five times and the Congress once.

With the delta districts including Tiruvaur limping back to normalcy after the cyclone, distressed voters, especially farmers, are likely to make their choices depending on how smooth the disbursal of relief was in their region. “Until Monday, nearly 30% of the citizens of the constituency had not received any relief or compensation from the government. With the model code of conduct coming into force, it is not clear whether relief work can be taken up,” said a senior officer, seeking anonymity. Unlike the 2016 assembly election, when the DMK had only Congress and IUML for company, the party will now have the support of the CPI and CPM, which have a considerable support base in the constituency. “The CPM is with the DMK for the Lok Sabha elections. We will definitely support the DMK for the Tiruvarur byelection as well,” said former CPM state secretary G Ramakrishnan.

DMK workers in the constituency are upbeat. The party’s Tiruvarur district secretary Poondi K Kalaivanan said, “Our party has a strong base here. It is an additional strength for us that our leader (Karunanidhi) won here twice. He is still the hero in Tiruvarur.” The ruling AIADMK was quick to organize a meeting with functionaries. Food minister R Kamaraj who is also the party’s Tiruvarur district secretary, met key functionaries to discuss strategy.

AMMK’s Tiruvarur district secretary S Kamaraj said his party had already begun work.
