Three infants die from lack of oxygen in Raipur hospital

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]CM Raman Singh ordered an investigation and has assured that those responsible for this tragic event will not be spared

While the row over Gorakhpur tragedy is still raging, three newborns undergoing treatment at the government run Bhim Rao Ambedkar Hospital in Raipur died on Sunday after an alleged drop in oxygen pressure during its supply to the special care unit.

According to a report, the operator Ravi Chandra, who was in-charge of the oxygen supply did not release the gas in the emergency and nursing wards  and was found in an inebriated state during the duty. Chandra has been suspended by the hospital authorities and was later arrested by the local police.

However, speaking to the media, Director of Health Services, R Prasanna said that when the oxygen pressure dropped, on duty doctors raised an alarm and immediately remedied the situation.

“Yesterday there was a drop in oxygen pressure, there was no cut in oxygen supply. CMO and Superintendent immediately intervened, sorted the issue. Death of children is due to illness,”said Prasanna.

“Three children, who were on ventilators in the special newborn care unit, died yesterday due to different reasons. These deaths have no connection with the so-called disruption of oxygen supply,” said Health Secretary Subrat Sahoo.

“Of them, one child had died at 12.30 pm yesterday due to low birth weight and other complications, while another died at around 1.30 pm due to respiratory failure and heart- related issues,”Sahoo said.

“The third child died at 10 pm due to respiratory failure and other problems,” Sahoo added.

Expressing the regret, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Monday ordered an investigation into the deaths and has also assured the families of the children  that those responsible for this tragic event will not be spared.

The CM  has also directed the senior officials of the Health Department to investigate into this matter as soon as possible.

Taking a jibe at CM Raman Singh, Congress spokesperson Gyanesh Sharma said, “The government is trying to cover up the death of the children due to disruption in oxygen supply.” He has also demanded a high-level inquiry into the matter.

This incident comes days after 72 children in state-run Baba Raghav Das Medical College Hospital in Gorakhpur died  because of the lack of liquid oxygen. An inquiry report by District Magistrate (DM)  Rajeev Rautela has blamed the absence of doctors and Pushpa Sales, the firm that supplied oxygen to the hospital.

The DM, said in his report that the firm should not have cut off supply due to non-payment of bills since it was in the business of saving lives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

PM Modi says every noble attempt for peace with Pakistan met with hostility, betrayal

Modi also expressed empathy for the people of Pakistan, stating that they too must yearn for peace, tired of living amidst strife, unrest, and relentless terror.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a candid podcast with Lex Fridman released on Sunday, March 16, expressed his disappointment over Pakistan’s response to India’s peace initiatives, stating that every attempt to improve bilateral ties was met with hostility and betrayal. He expressed hope that wisdom would prevail among Pakistan’s leadership to choose the path of peace.

Recalling his early efforts to mend relations, Modi mentioned inviting then-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony in 2014 as a gesture of goodwill. “It was a diplomatic gesture unlike any in decades. Even those who questioned my foreign policy approach were surprised. Our former President Pranab Mukherjee beautifully captured this historic moment in his memoir,” Modi said.

However, he lamented that the desired outcome was not achieved. “Every noble attempt at fostering peace was met with hostility and betrayal. We sincerely hope that wisdom prevails upon them, and they choose the path of peace,” he added. Modi also expressed empathy for the people of Pakistan, stating that they too must yearn for peace, tired of living amidst strife, unrest, and relentless terror.

On U.S.-India relations and President Trump

Modi also spoke about his strong bond with U.S. President Donald Trump, describing him as a leader who prioritizes national interests, much like himself. He praised Trump’s courage and decisiveness, recalling how the U.S. President sat among the audience during the ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Houston in 2019 while Modi addressed the crowd.

“That was his humility. The President of the United States sitting in the audience while I spoke from the stage—it was a remarkable gesture,” Modi said. He also shared a memorable moment when Trump agreed to walk through the packed stadium to greet the audience, despite concerns from his security team. “His entire security detail was thrown off guard, but that moment showed his courage and trust in me. It was a testament to the strong bond between us,” Modi added.

Reflecting on Trump’s resilience, Modi highlighted the U.S. President’s dedication to his country, even after being shot during the election campaign last year. “Even after being shot, he remained unwavering in his commitment to America. His ‘America First’ spirit resonates with my ‘India First’ approach. That’s why we connect so well,” Modi said.

He also commended Trump’s preparedness in his second term, noting that the U.S. President has a clear roadmap and a capable team to implement his vision. Modi mentioned meeting key members of Trump’s administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and tech mogul Elon Musk.

Modi emphasized that politicians are often perceived through the lens of media coverage, which can create misunderstandings. “People rarely get the chance to truly meet or personally know one another. Perhaps third-party intervention is the real cause of tensions,” he said, advocating for direct engagement and mutual understanding among global leaders.

Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have once again sparked romance rumors after being seen together in London. The duo was spotted arriving at the London Heliport on the evening of March 14, marking their second public outing in recent weeks.

According to reports, the two actors appeared relaxed and comfortable in casual attire, engaging in lively conversations and laughter with the heliport staff. Their recent joint appearances have intensified speculation about a possible romantic relationship.

Tom and Ana’s growing closeness

The romance rumors initially began circulating over Valentine’s Day weekend last month when Tom and Ana were first photographed together. The duo was seen walking through London’s Soho neighborhood, with Ana carrying takeout food. They also stopped to interact with fans and pose for photographs, further fueling dating speculations.

Neither Tom, who has been filming a movie in England directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, nor Ana have addressed these rumors. In a recent encounter with Spanish media in Madrid, Ana declined to comment when asked whether her outing with Tom was personal or work-related.

Past relationships and media interest

Ana de Armas has been linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in 2023 and previously dated actor Ben Affleck from 2020 to 2021. Tom Cruise, on the other hand, has maintained a relatively private personal life in recent years.

As of now, representatives for both actors have not responded to requests for comments on their relationship status. However, their recent outings together continue to keep fans and media buzzing with speculation.
