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.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
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.
