Free treatment for hepatitis C patients in Ratia
Fatehabad, February 21 Saket Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, Fatehabad, held a meeting of the Health Department to prepare a road map for the purpose today. Kumar, who is himself a doctor and a postgraduate in Pediatrics from Patna Medical College, said he had been reading about the prevalence of the disease in The Tribune before coming to Fatehabad. Saket Kumar said besides providing treatment to the existing patients, the authorities would look into the reasons for the spread of the disease. Hepatitis C is spread through parental route, transfusion of infected blood and physical relations with an infected person. Teams from PGIMS, Rohtak, had carried out screening and mopping operations in February last and identified 1,848 positive
Later, during enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) tests, the PGIMS authorities found that 1,503 persons were suffering from the disease. During the survey, the teams had covered nearly 32,000 people of Ratia town and over two-lakh people living in "dhanis" of the Ratia area. The operation has been launched on the intervention of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was apprised of the prevalence of a large number of hepatitis C patients in the area by the local residents during the Ratia byelections in November 2011. However, the authorities have yet not started any medical treatment of the infected patients, resulting in a lot of resentment among people. Though the health authorities recently began providing treatment to the patients under homeopathic and ayurvedic systems of medicine, the patients and their relatives are not satisfied with the step.

Ahirwal region neglected: Rao Inderjit
Rewari, February 21 The rally was a precursor to Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s vikas rally to be held at Bawal, 15 km from Rewari, on February 24. Comparing the party scenario post-Emergency, when his father late Rao Birender Singh had extended his full-fledged support to the Congress brass that was in dire straits, and the party affairs today, he said successive state governments invariably poured exclusive attention on development in their own particular regions of Bhiwani, Hisar, Sirsa and Rohtak and neglected the other areas. Wanting the ‘neglected’ Ahirwal region to give its next chief minister, Rao said if destiny provided him an opportunity to head that government, he promised to dole out jobs to the Ahirwal youths even if he was sent to jail later like the INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala. Pradesh Congress Committee delegate Ved Praaksh Vidrohi, Rewari district congress committee (rural) president Dr Banwari Lal, Bawal municipal committee chairman Chander Pal Chokan, Bawal block congress committee chief Virender Mahlawat and other citizens were also present.

33-KV substation work at Sirsa village completed
Sirsa, February 21 The commissioning of the substation was done recently by a committee of officers of different wings of the
DHBVN, who energised the substation in the presence of Sumer Singh Yadav, Director (Projects). Yadav said a transformer of 10 MVA capacity of 33/11 KV level had been installed successfully and energised at the substation while provision had been kept for another transformer that could be set up as and when requirement arose. The substation had been connected to the 132-KV substation,
Kurangawali, by extending the 33-KV line, Kurangawali-Panjmana, by 10.20 km for getting power supply. With the commissioning of the substation, over 3,000 consumers of different categories, including about 1,000 tube wells, in these villages would benefit by way of increased voltage and a regular power supply. Earlier, the area was being fed from the 33 KV-substation,
Rori. Due to an increase in the number of connections, the substation had become overloaded and as the villages that fed the Lehengewala substation were at a larger distance from
Rori, power was being supplied to the villages through long feeders, causing interruption in power
supply. Yadav said Sirsa had now a network of 68 substations, including a 400-KV substation at
Nuhianwali, three substations of 220-KV level at Sirsa, Rania and Chormar, 16 substations of 132-KV level and 48 substations of 33-KV level at different places. SK Bansal, Chief Engineer, RK Soda, SE, and BS

Men give wives package on pre-pregnancy
Tribune News Service

She said there were many causes, including genetic defects, clotting disorders, uterine abnormalities, hormonal imbalance, stress, smoking, alcohol and if treated properly, recurrent miscarriages could become a thing of the past. Dr Jindal, who specialises in recurrent miscarriage treatment, said soon after conceiving, a woman who suffered a miscarriage also had to undergo physical, mental and emotional trauma. The specialist said ignorant of the treatment options, many leading gynaecologists asked such couples to go for adoption after miscarriages while 90 per cent of the women, who suffered from problematic pregnancies and miscarriages could be treated with the latest advents in the medical science. She said it was only due to lack of awareness that couples continued to suffer needlessly. She said as many as 50 per cent of women, suffering from recurrent miscarriages, had genetic abnormality of foetus, while 25 per cent had thrombotic disorders, 20 per cent suffered from unexplained reasons and the rest of the pregnancies got aborted due to infection, uterine weakness, diabetes and thyroid disorders. Dr Jindal asserted that a number of gynaecologists were still using the TORCH test in multiple miscarriage cases to find out the reasons of pregnancy loss, which facilitated only the detection of virus in body, which could have caused loss of pregnancy.
