Thousands of Dalit sanitation workers across India are forced to perform autopsies in place of doctors. ‘This practice is even worse than manual scavenging.’
Doctors in state's 2 major hospitals, JNIMS & RIMS, say in majority cases, deaths have been due to firearm injuries. Moreover, hospitals also facing challenge of disposing unclaimed bodies.
Dilshan, 15, died days after he was allegedly beaten by 2 teachers & a school principal, but police say no injuries found. With police yet to file FIR or question teachers, family demands new autopsy.
Modi govt Monday introduced a new post-mortem protocol that allows autopsies to be performed after daylight. Earlier convention often led to a delay in the procedure.
Health Ministry said the new procedure promotes organ donation and transplant as organs can be harvested in the stipulated time window after the procedure.
Gurvinder Singh was among the 4 farmers killed in Sunday’s violence at Lakhimpur Kheri. His family refused to cremate him Tuesday, reiterating the allegation that he was shot dead.
Bodies are being tested to ensure doctors aren't exposed to the virus during an autopsy. It also ensures the body is disposed without exposing families to risk.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
What a marvellous, brilliantly written news story. A classic case study of what a good press reporter can do: educate, inform, show a mirror to society and the authorities and above all, trigger reflection about why things are as they are? No value judgements, no sermons. Just the facts as they are. Kudos and huge respect to Shubangi Misra.
