AIIMS doctors go on strike after colleagues assaulted
New Delhi, July 13 The doctors alleged that those accompanying the patient to the Surgical Emergency of the institute brandished guns and created a ruckus before beating up the three doctors, who were on duty, and fleeing the hospital campus in an SUV by breaking the main gate of AIIMS. The hospital administration lodged a complaint with the police which have arrested three persons in connection with the incident. The resident doctors have gone on strike demanding that enough armed security personnel be deployed outside the Emergency to prevent such incidents. "We all resident doctors have gone on strike from this evening. This is not at all done that patients' relatives assault doctors who are after all there to save their lives. We try our best. Today three senior resident doctors were beaten up, and during the incident one of the doctors' nasal bone was fractured," Dr Shashank Pooniya, general secretary of AIIMS Resident Doctors Association, said. "We demand from the administration that security should be deployed outside the emergency. Not just security, but armed security should be there to prevent such untoward incidents from happening," he said. According to hospital sources, the patient was brought to the Surgical Emergency where the senior resident doctors on duty examined him and found it to be a case of neurosurgery and a neurosurgeon was called. Meanwhile, the doctors present on duty performed the initial procedure, but before the neurosurgeon reached the ward the patient's family got agitated and pulled out pistols and created a ruckus in the emergency ward. They also beat up three resident doctors before fleeing from the hospital in their SUV by breaking the main gate of AIIMS, the sources said. — PTI

Heavy rains lash city, more expected today
New Delhi, July 13 The city received 25.6 mm of rainfall till 5.30 p.m. on Sunday. As a consequence of the showers, the temperature recorded at that time was a welcome 27 degrees--a marked fall as compared to previous days. The day's maximum temperature registered 40.2 degree Celsius, five notches above average. The heavy rain left many parts of Delhi flooded.

Incidents of wall collapses were reported from six areas, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) said.

And being a Sunday, hundreds of Delhiites, especially families, thronged popular city spots like India Gate and the adjoining Children's Park as well as the many popular markets around the city. "It finally rained and that too on Sunday. It's a double bonanza for us. I hope the weather gods keep smiling on the city," said Neerja Khanna, 34, bank executive as she played with her four-year-old son in the park near India Gate. — IANS

Tihar to launch plan on behavioural change
New Delhi, July 13 Mehra said, "We will start reformation programmes for prisoners to bring a behavioural change in them. With this idea in view, we will bring the inmates of all the 10 jails in Delhi under one roof and train them to get out of the physical, mental and emotional stress. We will try to make them feel that they are human beings like others and they should shun criminal acts." She said that psychiatrists from AIIMS will conduct a study on the change of behaviour of the inmates before and after attending the programme. It will be the first time that thousands of prisoners from various jails will attend this programme and share tips to make their lives free from criminal activities. Mehra said that in collaboration with the Art of Living, counselling and healing was provided to about 5,000 inmates in December last year.

Sr executive found dead in Paharganj hotel
New Delhi, July 13 The police said that although his death appears to be natural, the postortem will ascertain the exact cause of his death. The man identified as Rajeev Kumar Dudeja, a resident of Gurgaon. He arrived at Delhi on July 7 for an official work. He had booked a room at Kaka Guest House in Paharganj and was staying alone there. The police found the body lying on bed in the room. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him dead. The body was sent for a postmortem and his family was informed of the incident. It appears he died of a cardiac arrest. But only the postmortem report would be able to confirm how he had died. We are investigating the incident," said a police officer. "We are scanning the CCTV footage of the guest house to see if he had any visitors prior to his death. Since the room Dudeja was staying in was locked from the inside, foul play appears unlikely," the officer added. |
