Chandigarh Health Secretary

A video showing Chandigarh Health Secretary Yashpal Garg cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a man who suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed, has gone viral on social media.

The video, which has been viewed and shared widely over the internet, shows a man lying unconscious on a chair in Chandigarh Housing Board as Garg performs CPR on him.

Due to the health secretary’s efforts, the man regains consciousness and asks for some water as he’s being tended to by Garg and others in the office.

The man, identified as Janak Lal, a resident of Sector-41, Chandigarh, was later taken to a hospital where he underwent an electrocardiography (ECG). Lal is currently under observation at the Government Multi Specialty Hospital in Chandigarh’s Sector-16.

Garg said he was in his chamber at the CHB office when someone informed of him a man collapsing outside. The IAS officer quickly sprung to his feet and proceeded to perform CPR on Lal.

Garg added that he learnt CPR by watching a video on a news channel but didn’t have any formal training.

 “I know the process adopted by me might not be proper but did whatever came to my mind at that moment. Immediate attempt to save the life was important than wasting any time on other things,” a report quoted Garg as saying.

Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal also shared the video on her Twitter.

While most users on social media hailed the IAS officer’s valiant act and quick thinking, some pointed out that his improper technique could have resulted in a serious injury to Lal.

“It seems like person had syncope, and appears to be awake when “CPR” is getting administered. Second, this is a wrong way of doing CPR,” a doctor wrote, while urging Maliwal not to spread a wrong message by promoting an improper technique.

“Pls pls don’t do it randomly, it can break ribs and chest bone to say the least. Learn the proper reasons and the proper way,” wrote another doctor.

“Yes everyone should learn CPR.. Thankfully the person is safe..but the way it was done is not CPR.. may cause more harm than good,” read another reply.

However, many others were appreciative of Garg’s actions and believed it saved the man’s life.

“A valuable human life could be saved by the CPR process in CHB. Truly inspirational and learning for many. Commendable efforts done by Shri Yashpal Garg, Secretary Health, Chandigarh Really appreciable”, a user wrote.

“Salute to UT Health Secretary Yashpal Garg, IAS, who saved the life of Janak Kumar, resident of Sector 41-A, Chandigarh, by giving timely CPR,” wrote another user.

Meanwhile, Yashpal Garg said that he met Lal at the hospital and his tests came back normal and he will be discharged shortly.

Samrat Choudhary

Samrat Choudhary has been chosen as the new chief minister of Bihar, marking a major political shift in the state. His elevation follows the resignation of Nitish Kumar, who is set to move to the Rajya Sabha.

With this development, Choudhary becomes the first leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party to occupy the top post in Bihar, a state long dominated by Nitish Kumar’s leadership for over two decades.

Who is Samrat Choudhary

Born on November 16, 1968, Samrat Choudhary is a seasoned politician with a long career in Bihar politics. He has served in multiple key roles, including deputy chief minister and minister in various state departments.

He represents the Tarapur assembly constituency and has previously held positions such as leader of the opposition in the Bihar Legislative Council and president of the BJP’s Bihar unit.

Choudhary comes from a political family, with his father, Shakuni Choudhary, also being an established political figure. Over the years, he has built a strong grassroots presence, particularly in the Munger region.

Political journey and rise in BJP

Choudhary began his political career in the 1990s and was earlier associated with parties like the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Janata Dal (United) before joining the BJP.

His rise within the BJP has been steady, culminating in his appointment as deputy chief minister in 2024. He handled important portfolios such as finance, urban development, and panchayati raj during his tenure.

He is also considered an influential OBC leader, which is seen as a key factor in his selection as chief minister, reflecting the party’s strategy to broaden its social base.

A major political shift in Bihar

Choudhary’s appointment signals a new phase in Bihar politics, with the BJP taking direct leadership of the state government. The party, which is the single-largest in the assembly, elected him as its legislative party leader, clearing the path for his swearing-in as chief minister.

His leadership will be closely watched as he takes charge after a long period dominated by Nitish Kumar.
