Free diabetes camp for govt staff from July 17 New Delhi, July 15 The physicians will devote half an hour to every patient and the screening procedure will be based on a number of factors such as gathering inputs about lifestyle, habits, education level, awareness level about diabetes, current level of treatment and care that will help determine the barriers to the existing treatment received by the patients. The itinerary also involves screening and segregating candidates on the basis of tests such as blood tests, pressure tests, cardiovascular examination and lipid profiles that would help the doctors determine the category of diabetes. Mr Abhishek Bhartia, Director, Sitaram Bhartia Institute, said, “We are grateful to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and the Delhi Government for granting us the permission to initiate the first diabetes and cardiovascular screening camp for the Secretariat employees, a service extended towards the welfare of the community. This diabetes screening camp is a step towards promoting preventive measures in Delhi. Pre-diabetic conditions, such as impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose levels, depict 30 per cent of the population turning into diabetics if the patient check-up trend resists preventive measures. He also said that through this free diabetes screening camp “ we are trying to educate patients about the effects of diabetes and how it can be completely controlled without adopting depriving lifestyle factors and how regular checks and tests can negate complications like heart attacks, blindness, gangrene, arising from diabetes. It is an endeavour of the hospital to bring our vast experience and research knowledge to treat patients at the initial stages”. |

‘Rooms
around temple were razed’ Rohtak, July 15 Talking to NCR Tribune, Mr Yadav said a local court had ordered demolition of the unauthorised structures constructed by the temple management committee in 1989. The committee did not file an appeal against the court decision for several years. It recently filed an appeal that was dismissed by the court, paving way for the demolition. The Deputy Commissioner claimed residents of the locality, presidents of different market committees and activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had requested the district administration to raze the unauthorised rooms on the plea that they had been turned into a hub of various nefarious activities. The residents had reportedly complained to the district administration that women could not pass from near the chowk in the evening due to the presence of anti-social elements on the temple premises. The residents and the shopkeepers had also started a dharna on Saturday in support of their demand for demolishing the rooms constructed near the temple. The Deputy Commissioner said the demolition squad had razed the rooms only and the temple was left untouched. He said police force had been deployed on the site so that any agitated residents of the locality did not damage the remaining structure of the temple. |
