NGT asks report on plea alleging illegal groundwater extraction

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought a factual report from a panel on alleged illegal extraction of groundwater by Mitsui Kingzoku Components India Private Ltd. in the industrial town of Bawal in Rewari district of Haryana.
The Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) had already designated the area as “over exploited,” according to a petition before the NGT that claimed the project proponent (PP) was in violation of the terms of the ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC), which specified the amount of groundwater to be removed.
According to the applicant, NOC was granted to the PP by the ground water authority for groundwater abstraction up to 30m3/day and not exceeding 18,000 m3/year.
According to the petition, the tribunal’s earlier judgement from November 2022 directing the CGWA to take corrective action against non-compliance by the PP, including recovering compensation equal to 0.5 per cent of the project cost, was not followed, a bench of Chairperson Justice A. K. Goel observed.
The applicant has also referred the RTI reply dated October 6, 2020, such that the unit is not complying with the condition on which ground water extraction has been permitted.
The tribunal then directed that the report be submitted within two months.
“We find it necessary to require a factual report in the matter from a joint Committee of CGWA, central pollution control board (CPCB), State pollution control board (PCB) and District Magistrate, Rewari,” the bench, which also included Justice Sudhir Agarwal and Justice Arun Kumar Tyagi as well as A. Senthil Vel, an expert member, said.
The court scheduled the matter for the next hearing on July 10.

The state PCB will be the nodal agency for coordination and compliance, the bench noted.

More than 100 Indian healthcare professionals to be hired in UK: Report

[ad_1]
London: In a bid to address shortage of healthcare workers, more than 100 professionals from India are set to be recruited by the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) Trust that runs the York and Scarborough Hospitals.
According to The Scarborough News, the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has made offers to 107 medical staff, including 97 registered nurses and 10 allied health professionals, following a recruitment trip to Kerala.
“The Trust has started the process to bid for NHS England funding to support international nursing recruitment between April – November 2023 and has indicated a target of 90 international nurses which could generate 450,000 pounds in funding,” members of the trust’s board of directors were told.
The Trust, which has been facing issues with the recruitment and retention of staff, stated that “work is underway to process applications and support candidates with their English to enable cohorts to be drafted so we can plan commencement dates across 2023/24”.
The trust, which runs York and Scarborough hospitals, had an 11.5 per cent vacancy rate for healthcare support workers in adult inpatient areas and a 14.5 per cent vacancy rate for registered nurses in adult inpatient areas in January this year, according to the news report.
The vacancy rate on adult inpatient wards dropped to 7.6 per cent after international nurses joined the trust, the board was told.
She said there was “immense work ongoing around retention” and added that the trust was struggling with staff who were leaving “very quickly”, chief nurse Heather McNair said at a previous board meeting.
McNair added that the vacancy levels for healthcare assistants remains high.

On December 15, 2022, nurses of the state-funded NHS carried out their first nationwide strike in the union’s 106-year history amid rising costs and demand for salary hikes.
An estimated 100,000 nurses went on strike at 76 hospitals and health centres, cancelling an estimated 70,000 appointments.
Last month, Britain’s largest nursing union warned of a workforce “exodus” with tens of thousands of young staff leaving the profession.
Nearly 43,000 nurses across the UK in the early stages of their careers have quit over the past five years, figures from the Royal College of Nursing showed — almost equal to the record 47,000 nursing posts now vacant in NHS England, The Guardian reported.

US report suggests child deaths in Gambia linked to made-in-India cough syrups

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A joint probe by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the US and the Gambian health authorities have suggested a strong link between the death of many children in Gambia and the consumption of made-in-India cough syrups that were allegedly contaminated.
In October, the World Health Organization (WHO) had issued an alert stating that the four cough syrups being supplied to Gambia by the India-based Maiden Pharmaceuticals Ltd were of substandard quality and claimed that they were linked to the death of many children in Gambia.
A CDC report released on Friday stated, “This investigation strongly suggests that medications contaminated with Diethylene Glycol [DEG] or Ethylene Glycol [EG] imported into the Gambia led to this Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) cluster among children.”
“Patients with DEG poisoning can experience a range of signs and symptoms, including altered mental status, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms; however, the most consistent manifestation is AKI, characterized by oliguria (low urine output) or anuria, progressing over 1-3 days to renal failure (indicated by elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen),” read the report.
According to the CDC, they were contacted by Gambia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to assist in characterizing the illness (multiple cases of Acute Kidney Injury and deaths in children), describing the epidemiology, and identifying potential causal factors and their sources in August last year.
The report also said that in past DEG outbreaks, manufacturers have been suspected of substituting DEG in the place of more expensive, pharmaceutical-grade solvents.
“Among reports of AKI associated with DEG-contaminated medical products, this is the first in which DEG-contaminated medications were imported into a country, rather than being domestically manufactured,” it said.
It further said medications for export might be subject to less rigorous regulatory standards than those for domestic use.

“Simultaneously, low-resource countries might not have the human and financial resources to monitor and test imported drugs,” it stated.
Union Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar in a reply to Lok Sabha on February 3 had said that after testing, the samples of the cough syrups have been declared to be of standard quality.
The samples were found to be negative for both Diethylene Glycol (DEG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG), Pawar had said in a written reply to a question.

Hyderabad: HC seeks report over 1 toilet for 700 girls at Saroornagar govt college

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Taking cognisance of the dilapidated facilities at the government junior college in Saroornagar, the Telangana High Court on Thursday directed the state government to submit a report.
A bench headed by chief justice Ujjal Bhuyan and justice N Tukaramji was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) over one toilet, in a dilapidated condition, being available to 700 girl students in Saroornagar government college.
Issuing notices to the state government (represented by the chief secretary), principal secretary of education, commissioner of Intermediate education, and the college principal, the bench adjourned the hearing to April 25.
Background of the case:
Nallapu Manideep, a law student, sent the chief justice a letter along with a clipping of a news report on December 31, 2022, headlined ‘Protest erupts as Government Junior College has 1 defunct toilet for 700 females’.
The letter was converted into a PIL by the PIL Committee.
The PIL revealed that there was only one toilet for over 700 girl students and poor infrastructure on the campus giving scope to infections.
Further, the girl students complained of being unable to attend college during their menstrual periods since there are no taps or running water while the boys claimed that they resorted to open urination and had to go outside the campus since there was no toilet facility provided for them.
The report also revealed that 300 students of the college boycotted classes due to substandard campus amenities and several other students were using pills to interrupt their menstrual cycles and some avoided drinking water.

The student in his report further wrote that the demands for immediate relief had fallen on deaf ears and urged the judges to direct the authorities to provide all essential amenities at the government junior college.

HC Seeks Report On Implementation Of RTE Act In JK

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh Wednesday ordered the government to file status report of implementation of Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.
The Court further directed to furnish the list of aided and unaided private schools in the Union Territory.
The Division Bench of Justice Rajnesh Oswal and Justice Mohan Lal issued the directives on basis of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) plea filed by an NGO—Young Lawyers Forum (YLF) Kashmir seeking the court’s directions to the government for expeditious implementation of the Right to Education Act in letter and spirit.
The submission was made by the petitioner advocate Huzaif Ashraf Khanpori who was appearing before the court on behalf of YLF Kashmir that is a registered society based in Kashmir and advocates for socio-legal justice, in and out of courts.
The petitioner argued before the court that “It has been more than three years since the Act of 2009 has become applicable to the Union Territory of JK and its applicability had given many hopes to children from marginalized and poor sections of the society to get education in private schools, which is otherwise unaffordable and unimaginable to them.”
The counsel further submitted that “Even after an interlude of almost three years, the Act is yet to be implemented by the schools in the UT of JK due to the callous attitude of the Government and has deprived the poor students from their statutory right of receiving free and compulsory education under the Act and other rights enshrined therein.”
According to the PIL, the advocate further highlighted the non-implementation of the mandatory reservation provided under Section 12(1)(b) and 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act which is in a continuing violation of the fundamental right to free and compulsory education under Article 21A available to the large section of children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged sections apart from violating the Statutory mandate under the RTE Act.
Keeping in view the facts and circumstances, the Court orders, “The respondents shall file status report with regard to the steps undertaken by the respondents for implementation of the Rights of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 positively by next date of hearing with particular reference to the schools as defined under Section 2(n)(ii) and 2(n)(iv) of the said Act of 2009.

Bhiwani killings suspect Monu Manesar fled to Nepal: Report

[ad_1]
Prime suspect in the Bhiwani killings case Monu Manesar, who belongs to the Bajrang Dal, has allegedly fled the country to neighboring Nepal.
According to Tribune India, a senior Rajasthan police official, who wished to remain anonymous, said the whereabouts of Monu and four other suspects were received while intercepting the calls he made to his accomplices under surveillance and recording their financial transactions.
“We have got intel inputs in the matter but can’t reveal much at this stage,” the senior official was quoted by Tribune India.
Monu and his associates have been charged with kidnapping and murdering two Muslim men – Junaid and Nasir. On February 16, the charred bodies of Nasir and Junaid were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana.
They have been booked under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) 143 (unlawful assembly), 365 (kidnapping), 367 (grievously hurt after kidnapping), and 368 (wrongfully keeping in confinement) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Nasir (25) and Junaid alias Juna (35), both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15 and their bodies were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana on the morning of February 16.
Nasir is survived by his wife, while Junaid is survived by his wife, six children and a mentally challenged brother.
A total of nine accused, including Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar who runs a cow protection group, and Srikant Pandit, whose mother lodged a complaint against the Rajasthan Police, have been named in the case so far.

Earlier in the day, chief minister Ashok Gehlot met the bereaved families of Junaid and Nasir and announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each.
“The state government will provide Rs 5 lakh compensation each to the wives and children of both the deceased. An amount of Rs 1 lakh each will be provided as cash whereas a fixed deposit of Rs 4 lakh each will be done so that the dependent families do not face any problem in the education and marriage of the kids,” he told reporters.
