    Centre urged KCR to instal meters for agri borewells: Harish Rao

    Hyderabad: The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) on Thursday slammed Telangana health minister T Harish Rao for ‘restricting’ authorities from taking action against Rural Medical Practitioners (RMP) in the state.

    The Doctors’ body cited a news article on illegal abortions being held in a Sanjeevini hospital in the Suryapet district. According to local media reports, the hospital was seized and an investigation was called for by the authorities into the business of illegal abortions and determining the gender of the unborn fetus, which is illegal in India.

    “Quacks (misnomer RMPs) in TS are in full swing doing sex determination & abortions of female child that too on women’s day Unfortunately HM @BRSHarish supporting them by restricting authorities from taking action considering as vote bank keeping TS public health at stake Act now,” HRDA tweeted.

    The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) also recently urged Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to allocate the newly built state secretariat to the Osmania General Hospital in ‘public health’ until the decision is taken on the old dilapidated OGH.

    The Doctors’ group further suggested that the old OGH building can be allocated to the secretariat. “The old OGI building can be allocated to the secretariat temporarily an expert committee gave a report that the old building can be utilized for administrative purpose for the benefit of patients of Telangana,” it further said.

  • Twitter war between Telangana Guv & Harish Rao on medical college allocation

    Twitter war between Telangana Guv & Harish Rao on medical college allocation

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana health minister T Harish Rao on Sunday slammed Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan for her remarks on the allocation of medical colleges by centre to the state.

    The Governor reacting to a Twitter user’s question on the number of medical colleges given to Telangana, said that the state government failed to apply in time as stated by union minister Mansukh Mandaviya. ‘You sleep and wake up late and ask. TN got 11 medical colleges in a single Year,” she remarked.

    Responding to her tweet, Harish Rao said that the centre released only Rs 156 crores out of Rs 1365 crores estimated for the completion of All India Institute Of Medical Science (AIIMS) Bibinagar.

    He questioned the union government as to why the Gujarat AIIMS received 52 per cent of the funds allocated for it while Telangana received only 11.4 percent.

    He remarked, “It would be a great help to people of Telangana, if Raj Bhavan reorients its focus and pushes Government of India for a Tribal University and Rail Coach factory, as promised in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014”.

    “Why no one voices about injustice meted to TS? Why not find fault with Centre in the interest of Telangana? It would be a great help to people of TS, if Raj Bhavan reorients its focus & pushes GoI for Tribal University and Rail Coach factory, as promised in APRA2014,” he tweeted.

    He further tweeted, “Fact is gross injustice meted out to Telangana in sanctioning of Medical Colleges, despite repeated pleas from state government to Centre”.

    He said that out of 157 medical colleges approved by Centre, none were allocated to Telangana. “Union government discriminated and deceived Telangana in all three phases of allotment of colleges,” he added.

    Referring to Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks that medical colleges were not allotted to Telangana state as the state government proposed districts that already have the medical colleges, Rao said, “Who is misleading people?”

    “What’s worse is Union ministers’ contrasting statements on medical colleges. One said Telangana didn’t make any request, other said government wanted colleges in Khammam and Karimnagar. By stating Centre didn’t give a nod bcos private colleges are already set up, Who is misleading people?” he further remarked.

    He said that chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao set up 12 medical colleges in Telangana with the state’s own funds. He said that the medical colleges were allotted in tune with the vision of setting up one medical college per each district.

    “Telangana tops in the country with 19 MBBS seats per one lakh population. Instead of hurling abuses, the Centre and the Governor should appreciate the state government for opening 8 medical colleges in one day,” he said.

    He questioned the Central government saying “Why does Gujarat AIIMS get 52% of estimated funds while Telangana gets only 11.4 percent when both the projects were sanctioned in 2018?”

    “Instead of giving funds to Bibinagar AIIMS, which is supposed to be on par with Delhi AIIMS, Union minister makes false claims blaming Telangana government,” he said in another tweet.

    Speaking at the event in NIMS, Harish Rao said that 1 in every 100 babies is born with cardiac issues across the world, “In Telangana, every year, 6 lakh babies are born and 6000 of them have cardiac issues. Out of them, at least 1000 of them need surgeries”. 

    “Due to the limitations in government hospitals and not having enough money to get the surgeries done in private hospitals, many babies from poor families die,” he added. 

    To address the crunch in funds, Harish Rao said that, with the help of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds and equipment from the government, a cardiothoracic department with an ICU, operation theatre, and other facilities has been established.-

    “Dr Ramana and the team have operated on 9 kids and all the surgeries have been successful,” said the minister. He said that these kinds of surgeries have been performed previously in AIIMS, Delhi only. 

    Harish Rao stated that the government is developing super specialty hospitals in the state using Rs 6,000 crores.

    “To help the poor, our chief minister has introduced many super specialty hospitals around Hyderabad. Also, Warangal super specialty hospital, a 24 storied building will be ready by the end of this year, and we will inaugurate it on Dasara. We will also expand NIMS hospital with another 2000 beds. Along with this, we will also add new blocks to Gandhi hospital,” said the minister.

    Talking about medical seats in the state, Harish Rao said that Telangana stands first in the country in the number of MBBS seats, with 19 MBBS seats per 1 lakh population. “The state also has 7 PG medical seats per 1 lakh population and this is the second highest in the country. We are planning on expanding these numbers,” he added.

    Babri demolition: AIMIM slams Cong ad featuring PV Narasimha Rao

    [ad_1]

    congress secularism

    The All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Sunday called the inclusion of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao’s image in an advertisement of the Congress party’s plenary an indication of its ‘secularism’.

    “The inclusion of PV Narasimha Rao says everything we need to know about Congress party’s “secularism”. As Prime Minister, Narasimha Rao played an essential role in the demolition of Babri Masjid. It should not be forgiven or forgotten, the party tweeted.

    Even in 2020, when Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and the ruling TRS gave a call for an state assembly resolution to give Bharat Ratna to the former PM, AIMIM MLAs boycotted the proceedings.

    Narasimha Rao is often criticised for ‘not doing enough’ to stop the demolition of the Babri Masjid which took place on December 6, 1992, when he was the country’s Prime Minister.

    The Babri Masjid was illegally demolished on December 6, 1992, by a large group of activists from the Vishva Hindu Parishad and other organisations. The 16th-century Babri Masjid in the Uttar Pradesh city of Ayodhya had been the site of a long-running socio-political dispute, and it was targeted after a political rally organised by Hindu nationalist organisations turned violent.

    Maulana Azad out, PV Narasimha Rao in: Congress slammed over plenary ad

    [ad_1]

    The Congress party’s advertisement for its plenary session happening in Chattisgarh has received criticism from different quarters for two reasons: omitting the image of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and including the image of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao.

    On criticism around Maulana Azad’s ommission, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh apologised the ‘inexcusable slipup’.

    “Today an ad released by INC did not carry a photograph of Maulana Azad. It was an inexcusable slipup. Responsibility for it is being fixed & action will be taken. Meanwhile, this is a most sincere apology from us. He will always remain an iconic & inspiring figure for us & India,” he tweeted.

    Abul Kalam Ghulam Muhiyuddin Ahmed bin Khairuddin Al-Hussaini Azad was a senior leader of the Indian National Congress and an Indian independence activist, Islamic theologian, and writer.

    Following India’s independence, he was appointed as the country’s First Minister of Education. He is best known as Maulana Azad and he used the pen name Azad. His contribution to the establishment of the education foundation in India is recognised by declaring his birthday as National Education Day throughout the country.

    Adding to the fire, the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Sunday called the inclusion of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao’s image in an advertisement of the Congress party’s plenary an indication of its ‘secularism’.
