Bhatti bids at ‘sports mandi’
Chandigarh, February 23 The satirist was back in action at the Sector 17 plaza today, where he organised a huge sports “mandi”. The event saw Bhatti and his comrades from the Nonsense Club auctioning players of hockey, football, kabaddi and athletics. Anyone interested in buying players needed to have Rs 100; the minimum bid was fixed at Rs 50 for a hockey player, Rs 30 for a football player and Rs 20 for a kabaddi player. A player auctioned for Rs 1000 must not score more than one goal; those who have fetched Rs 2000 should score just two. After the act came the speech in trademark Bhatti style, “The sports that do not contribute to the brand value of any industrial product must be immediately done away with. We have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of cleansing the world of sports of such non-performing streams. Our club will organise a mandi in all districts to trade in sportspersons. The motto would be ‘Play games for gambling, not health.” Bhatti went on to compare players with commodities, his tone very sharp and caustic. “Subjects of gambling and auctioning should be introduced at primary school level. All players should be listed on the stock market so that common men can invest in them,” Bhatti said, his advice to sports ministry bordering on the necessity of halls for auctioning. “Instead of maintaining sports grounds, the ministry must construct auctioning halls in all districts,” he said. Before the curtains, it was time for Bhatti’s men to sing a parody. It went: “Khel meri jaan tujhe paisa milega …Utna hi khel jitna paisa milega…”

Respiratory diseases on rise in Indian kids
Chandigarh, February 23 In fact, if the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates are to be believed about 1 million children die each year on account of pneumonia, and most of these deaths occur in developing countries. The saddest part is that most of the deaths are preventable through safe and efficacious vaccines, said Meenu Singh, organising chairperson of the two-day continuing medical education programme that got underway at the PGI here today. However, a number of these vaccines are too expensive to be included in the childhood vaccination programme. Speaking on the theme of the programme “evidence, experience and excellence for everyone”, she said for a variety of reasons, the incidence of respiratory problems in children had been rising in our country. This was particularly true for asthma and allergic disorders. Modern lifestyle, eating habits and environmental pollution could be contributing to this phenomenon, Meenu Singh said. Modern medical practice is widely acclaimed to be based on scientific evidence built up through meticulous research. The conference attempts to bridge the latest evidence with clinical experience, in order to foster excellence in medical care for everyone involved in caring for children. Meenu Singh mentioned that in developed countries even lay men had a high level of awareness and access to medical evidence in simplified language. This ensured that doctors and patients shared the process of making decisions in relation to health. She also highlighted that the Advanced Paediatrics Centre was taking a leadership role in the country to make all child health practices to be based on evidence. Meanwhile, inaugurating the programme, Dr K.K. Talwar, Director of the PGI, lauded the efforts of the department of paediatrics in providing excellent medicare to the patients. Dr B.N.S. Walia, emeritus professor and former director of the PGI, stressed the need for doctors to keep updating themselves with latest knowledge and skills. Dr Lata Kumar chaired the first session on chronic cough in children. She stressed the need to apply a rational approach to this common problem rather than ordering investigation and prescribing a mixture of syrups and antibiotics. Dr S.K. Jindal, head of pulmonary medicine at the PGI, chaired a session on TB in children. He highlighted the increasing incidence in India, particularly with the HIV epidemic.
