LUCKNOW: Prominent classical vocalist Padma Vibhushan Pandit Chhannulal Mishra, who had not been keeping well for the last seven months, was shifted to the ICU of Sir Sunder Lal Hospital of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi, following a sharp deterioration in his health condition late on Saturday night. A medical bulletin issued by SSL Hospital on the health condition of the veteran vocalist on Sunday evening stated, Mishra, 89, was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) under the Department of Medicine of the hospital after being brought here at 11 pm on Saturday with fever and shortness of breath. So far, he had been receiving treatment at Ramkrishna Seva Ashram Hospital in Mirzapur. He has been unwell for the past seven months and is being treated for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Osteoarthritis, and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). During this illness, he developed bed sores, complicated by septicaemia, and has been currently diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) also. On Sunday, Mishra was put on non-invasive ventilator support and received appropriate antibiotic therapy, insulin, and other supportive treatment measures. His vital parameters have started showing signs of stabilisation, said the hospital sources, mentioning all necessary medical care being imparted to Mishra and claiming that a team of specialist doctors were monitoring his condition closely. Before the hospital released this bulletin, BHU Vice-Chancellor Prof Ajit Chaturvedi visited ICU's bed-15 in the Super Specialty Block to see Mishra and sought details on the ailments diagnosed and also his condition. Initially, Mishra was admitted to Ramakrishna Mission Sevashram Hospital in Mirzapur, two days ago, but a sharp deterioration in his health condition prompted doctors to refer him to BHU. Immediately after his admission to the ICU of SSL Hospital, the director of the Institute of Medical Science BHU, Prof SN Sankhwar, started monitoring the treatment protocol after mobilising the teams of doctors and paramedical staff in the emergency, cardiology, chest, and other departments.

UP Congress chief alleges police intrusion, house arrests ahead of PM Modi's Varanasi visit
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai alleged that a team of police officers entered his Lucknow hotel room late on Wednesday night while he was asleep, informing him that he was being placed under house arrest ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modis visit to Varanasi. Along with Rai, around 200 Congress and Samajwadi Party workers were also put under house arrest in Varanasi and adjoining areas to prevent a proposed protest against alleged vote fraud in the Prime Ministers presence. According to police sources, officers entered Rais room and told him not to travel to Varanasi. Taken aback by the late-night intrusion, Rai expressed strong displeasure, questioning why they had come at such an odd hour and telling the inspector that it was not the right time to visit a leaders private room. After a short conversation, Rai asked the police personnel to leave his room and immediately shut the door, signalling his protest. Officials claimed the move was a precautionary measure ahead of the Prime Ministers visit to Kashi on Thursday morning. Besides Rais confinement, around 200 leaders and workers of the Congress and Samajwadi Party were placed under house arrest across Varanasi and nearby areas. The state government took the step to avert the proposed protest by the two parties against what they alleged was vote theft by the Election Commission at the behest of the Centre. Anticipating demonstrations, police tightened security and moved swiftly to prevent any gatherings. Reacting to the late-night action, Rai took to the microblogging site X to criticise the government. Sending the police to stop opposition workers, locking leaders inside their rooms, and muzzling voices will not protect those responsible for vote theft. Every Congress worker will continue to fight, taking the message from streets to villages, and will keep challenging Modi over the issue of stolen votes, he posted. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi arrived in his parliamentary constituency on Thursday forenoon, leading a 3-km-long roadshow from the police lines to Hotel Taj, where he welcomed Mauritius Prime Minister Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, who is on the second day of his India visit. The two leaders are scheduled to hold bilateral talks before attending cultural events together. In the evening, Dr Ramgoolam will take a cruise from Namo Ghat to Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the world-famous Ganga Aarti, accompanied by Indian officials. To honour the visiting dignitary, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has organised a dinner.

PM Modi to conduct aerial survey of Uttarakhand's disaster-hit areas on September 11
DEHRADUN: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to conduct an aerial survey of Uttarakhand's disaster-stricken mountainous regions on Thursday, assessing the extensive damage caused by this year's relentless monsoon rains and related calamities. According to government sources, PM Modi will arrive in Dehradun after attending an event in Varanasi. He is expected to undertake an aerial survey of the disaster and flood-hit areas around 4:15 pm. Following this, at 5 pm, the Prime Minister will hold a high-level review meeting with state officials at Jolly Grant Airport to discuss the relief and rehabilitation efforts. On Wednesday afternoon, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visited Jolly Grant Airport to personally oversee preparations for the Prime Minister's visit, instructing officials to ensure all arrangements are made in a timely and meticulous manner. CM Dhami highlighted the Prime Minister's deep connection with the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a special affection for Uttarakhand. This is why, during this difficult time of disaster, the state has continuously received his unwavering support and guidance. His arrival will further strengthen disaster relief efforts in Uttarakhand, Dhami stated. This year, Uttarakhand has suffered extensive damage due to excessive rainfall and widespread flooding. There is a strong expectation that the central government will provide a substantial economic package to the state for disaster relief, rescue, reconstruction, and rehabilitation, akin to the assistance offered to Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Sources from the State Disaster Management Office indicate a grim toll: since April, 85 people have lost their lives in various natural disasters across Uttarakhand, while 94 are still reported missing. Additionally, 128 individuals have sustained serious injuries in different incidents. The Disaster Management Department's data reveals assets worth approximately Rs 1944 crore have been destroyed, including vital roads, schools, power lines, substations, and irrigation canals. Uttarakhand suffers Rs 5,000 crore losses from monsoon rains, worst since Kedarnath tragedy Furthermore, an estimated Rs 3,700 crore is required to secure properties currently at high risk from further damage. Earlier, an Inter-Ministerial Central Team from the Government of India, which had been assessing the damage in the state, met with Chief Minister Dhami. The Chief Minister emphasised, Uttarakhand is an extremely disaster-sensitive state. During the monsoon season, it grapples with severe problems of landslides, floods, and waterlogging due to excessive rainfall. He urged national-level institutions to collaborate on further developing advanced forecasting systems to minimise damage from landslides. CM Dhami further stressed that his year's heavy rainfall has caused extensive damage in various regions, resulting in both loss of life and significant harm to assets. He highlighted that cloudbursts and landslides in the hilly areas cause permanent land damage, rendering such areas unusable for farming or construction, and called for an effective long-term action plan to address this. The Central Team, led by Joint Secretary R. Prasanna of the Ministry of Home Affairs, had surveyed damage in districts like Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, and Nainital. After meeting the Chief Minister, the team commended the state government's relief operations, including the adequate arrangements for lodging and food in relief camps, the provision of on-site medical facilities, and other basic amenities for the affected, based on feedback received from the victims.
