Pharmacist fudges autopsy report
Representative Image BAREILLY: A pharmacist at a community health centre (CHC) in UP's Sambhal has been suspended for tampering with the autopsy report of a 17-year-old girl, who was allegedly hanged from the ceiling by her father and brother on May 27 as they did not approve of her relationship with a local man, reports Kanwardeep Singh. Pharmacist Madhur Arya, posted at CHC in Bahjoi of Sambhal district, took a bribe of Rs 50,000 from the alleged killers to mention the cause of death as "hanging", instead of "strangulation". The services of a contract worker, a computer operator, at the post-mortem house, Yash Sharma, have also been terminated for being an accomplice in the crime. The girl was found hanging in her house at Haimadpur village under Rajpura police station in Sambhal district. Investigation revealed that her father, Chandrakesh and brother Dharmendra first strangled her to death and then hung the body, police said. Not stopping at that, the accused attempted to frame four people, including the girl's lover, in the case to mislead police. SP Krishan Kumar Bishnoi said it was a case of "honour killing" and added that the girl's father, her brother, their relative Jai Prakash, along with the pharmacist and the computer operator have been arrested. Additional SP Anukriti Sharma said, "We are verifying the chat history of the pharmacist with the other staff, including the doctor in charge of the CHC. Necessary action will be taken after the probe." Chief medical officer Dr Tarun Pathak said on Friday, "Both the employees were sent to jail under the Prevention of Corruption Act. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against the pharmacist. Further action will be taken once the investigation report is received."

Two suspected Malaria cases in Gurugram
Gurugram has reported its first two malaria cases this year. The patients are currently stable and under the health department's supervision, according to the district health department's latest bulletin. Malaria, which had almost disappeared from the city, saw a resurgence with two cases in 2024. The detection of two cases this year has prompted the department to stay on high alert, said officials. 'A private laboratory confirmed the malaria cases using a rapid diagnostic kit. While we consider this result credible, the most reliable method for confirmation is the Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) test, which provides 100% accuracy. We will be using this test for final confirmation. Additionally, we have collected blood samples from the infected's family members to ensure the disease does not spread further,' said Dr Vikas Swami, deputy civil surgeon, Gurugram. To prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya, the health department has intensified field activity across the district. This year, over one lakh people have been tested for malaria so far. Meanwhile, 923 blood samples have been collected for dengue testing. On Wednesday, rapid response teams inspected 7,273 houses, out of which 117 were found to have larvae, said health officials. Dengue cases in Gurugram have shown a fluctuating trend over the past three years. In 2024, the city reported 186 cases, a drop from 276 in 2023. The highest count in recent years was in 2022, with 440 cases. Health officials continue to stress the importance of mosquito control and early detection. All Community Health Centre (CHC), Primary Health Centre (PHC) workers, and multipurpose health workers (MPHWs) have been deployed for door-to-door surveillance. Separate teams have also been formed to carry out malaria and dengue inspections, said health officials. 'With the change in weather, we are seeing a rise in fever cases. We are conducting daily anti-larvae drives and involving community groups to keep mosquito breeding in check,' said Dr Swami further adding that NGOs have been issued government-approved malaria ID cards so they can visit residential areas and inspect water bodies freely. Health officials are actively promoting the 'Dry Day' concept across Gurugram where residents are urged to empty water coolers once a week and keep them dry for a day to disrupt the mosquito breeding cycle. 'Mosquito larvae can hatch within seven days in stagnant water, which increases the risk of dengue and chikungunya. We're involving Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) to help implement Dry Day activities in colonies and societies,' said Dr Swami. Fogging drives are being carried out by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG). People are also being advised to regularly change stored water, clean their terraces, and apply mosquito-repellent cream to children before they go outside. As part of vector control, the department has identified 204 water bodies in Gurugram — 160 in rural areas and 44 in urban zones. Gambusia fish, known for feeding on mosquito larvae, have been released into these water bodies to help curb the mosquito population naturally, said health officials.

State launches awareness campaign to control diarrhoea outbreak
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: Health minister Mukesh Mahaling on Monday visited the community health centre (CHC) at Bhuban in Dhenkanal district to meet diarrhoea patients and assess the situation. He also launched a state-wide awareness campaign at the CHC to contain the outbreak with 2,000 diarrhoea and cholera cases reported from Jajpur, Dhenkanal, Keonjhar, Bhadrak, Kendrapada and Cuttack districts. While 17 unofficial deaths have been reported from Jajpur (14), Keonjhar (2) and Kendrapada (1) districts, the govt has confirmed five casualties and is reviewing another five. "Diarrhoea is a waterborne disease prevalent during monsoon. State govt is taking all necessary measures for the prevention and control of the disease. Comprehensive awareness programmes are being conducted along with improved healthcare, essential equipment, medicines and infrastructure. The campaign will run until July 31," said Mahaling. In an official statement, the health department said extensive health awareness and integrated efforts are being made to combat diarrhoea. Practices such as hand washing, maintaining hygiene, eating balanced meals, drinking safe water, keeping water sources clean, and avoiding open defecation can significantly prevent diarrhoea. Through awareness and caution, individuals can stay healthy and keep their families and neighbours safe, it added. As part of the campaign, adequate stocks of ORS packets, zinc tablets and medicines would be maintained at all anganwadi centres, health sub-centres and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs. Health and anganwadi workers, ANMs, and multi-purpose health workers in rural and urban areas would be trained to identify and manage diarrhoea from the initial stages, the statement said. Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) teams from Jagatsinghpur and Khurda districts have been sent to Jajpur district to assist the health workers. Mahaling advised the public to follow the advice of health workers and doctors and seek medical treatment at health centres if they experience diarrhoea. He also visited the Kamakhyanagar sub-divisional hospital to review the situation with local representatives. Central teams, who visited Jajpur district to study the situation, returned to Bhubaneswar and attended a review meeting with health officials. They recommended several steps to control the cholera and diarrhoea situation. "Cholera was detected in stool tests. The state health team is taking necessary steps. They are also analysing the diarrhoeacases every day," said Dr Bhagirathi Dwivedi, a central team member. Another team member, Dr Shibani Lahiri, said diarrhoea is in an endemic stage and there is a little surge in cases. Health secretary Aswathy S said disinfection of drinking water sources will be done across the state as monsoon has already arrived. "We are taking all required steps to combat the situation," she added. She visited various areas of Jajpur district to conduct field-level monitoring and review the diarrhoea management programme. A review meeting with district administration primarily focused on the admission, immediate treatment, and recovery of diarrhoea patients. She instructed that each diarrhoea case be mapped, and emphasised necessary treatment for admitted patients and their discharge from hospital only after full recovery.
