    Hamirpur: As many as 150 people in Rangas, Kandrola, and Jol-Sappad panchayats of the Nadaun sub-division of Hamirpur district fell ill allegedly after consuming contaminated water.

    The drinking water was being supplied from a drinking water scheme from the nearby khads.

    According to reports, people from a dozen villages, including Banh, Jandgi Gujran, Jandali Rajputan, Panyala, Pathiyalu, Niyati, Rangas Chowki Haar, Thain and Sankar have been affected by the outbreak of water-borne diseases and the number is expected to go up.

    Patients from these villages were complaining of vomiting and diarrhoea for the last three days, alleging that consuming contaminated water led to the problem.

    Block medical officer (BMO) Dr KK Sharma said that three teams of the health department were sent to the spot. Of these, two teams have been sent from Nadaun hospital and one from Rail hospital.

    Patients are being treated and water samples have been collected and sent for examination. The reason behind the spread of diarrhoea will be known after the report comes in, he said.

    Chief Medical Officer (Hamirpur) RK Agnihotri said that efforts are afoot to provide proper treatment to the people who have fallen ill.

    District Health Officer Sanjay Jagota has advised the people to drink boiled water till the disease is controlled and said that Chlorine tablets were also being distributed to ensure the cleanliness of the water sources from where the water is supplied to these villages.

    The Asha workers are also going door-to-door collecting details of the patients and instructing them to take precautions.

    Ilam Din, a member of Rangas Panchayat, said that he started getting calls from villagers on Saturday morning and it seems that more than 150 people are suffering from stomach-related diseases.

    Similar complaints are also being reported from the adjoining Kandrola panchayat.

    Fandi Khan, former deputy head of Rangas gram panchayat, said the number of patients could be more. The condition of the elderly people there is bad and no team of the health department has reached the area.

    Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, who is also the MLA from Naudan, has directed the district administration and the health department to take proper care of the patients and ensure that there was no shortage of medicines and other items.

  • Iran sentences mentally ill man to death over alleged Quran burning

    Iran sentences mentally ill man to death over alleged Quran burning

    [ad_1]

    Tehran: The Iran’s Revolutionary Court (IRC) has sentenced a mentally ill man to death on charges of apostasy for allegedly burning a holy Quran during the early phase of the protests triggered by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, local media reported.

    35-year-old Javad Rouhi, who suffers from a severe mental illness, was accused of entering a local traffic police headquarters in September 2022, along with two others, and setting the building on fire, including copies of the Quran.

    Rouhi, was sentenced to death on three charges— waging war against God, corruption on earth and apostasy. He was detained on September 22, 2022.

    After his arrest, he was transferred to a detention center supervised by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. He was left unable to speak and walk after being severely tortured while in detention.

    According to Mizan Agency, which is run by Iran’s judiciary, the head of the province’s supreme court said that Rouhi “admitted the fact that he destroyed the headquarters and set it on fire.”

    Rouhi was prevented from appointing a lawyer of his choice, as court authorities required him to be represented by state advocate Habibullah Qazvini.

    The judiciary had already carried out death sentences against four people who were convicted of assaulting security men on the sidelines of the protests that took place in various parts of the country and are approaching the completion of their fourth month.

    Of the 18 death sentences, four have been carried out and two others have been approved by the Supreme Court. 

    Since September 16, Iran has been witnessing protests following the death of Amini, three days after she was arrested by the morality police for not adhering to the strict rules of dress in the Islamic Republic.
