NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has unearthed a wide-ranging corruption racket involving irregularities in the inspection and regulatory processes of medical colleges across India, registering a First Information Report (FIR) that names 36 accused individuals, including former University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman D P Singh and several officials from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. D P Singh, who currently serves as the Chancellor of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), headed the UGC from 2018 to 2021. Other accused include senior officials from the National Medical Commission (NMC) and representatives of private medical colleges nationwide. According to the FIR, a copy of which is with TNIE, the case centres around an extensive criminal conspiracy involving the unauthorised sharing of confidential regulatory information, manipulation of statutory inspections, and widespread bribery to grant favourable outcomes to private institutions. CBI officials said the leaked data included inspection schedules, names of assessors, and internal assessments. This allowed medical colleges to stage fraudulent conditions for inspections including deploying ghost faculty members, admitting fake patients, tampering with biometric attendance systems, and bribing assessors for favourable reports. The FIR alleges that health ministry officials photographed internal files including confidential remarks by senior officials and shared them via personal devices with intermediaries linked to private colleges. Among those allegedly involved in receiving or distributing the leaked data are Virendra Kumar of Gurgaon, Manisha Joshi of Dwarka in New Delhi, and prominent medical education figures such as Suresh Singh Bhadoria, chairman of Index Medical College in Indore, and Mayur Raval, registrar of Geetanjali University in Udaipur. Virendra Kumar is said to have had close ties with Jitu Lal Meena, then a whole-time member of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB). Meena allegedly received bribes through hawala transactions facilitated by Kumar, who reportedly distributed funds to secure regulatory favours. Officials claim part of the illicit funds was used to finance the construction of a Hanuman temple in Rajasthan at an estimated cost of 75 lakh. The FIR also outlines the southern network of the racket, reportedly run by B Hari Prasad from Kadiri, Andhra Pradesh. Working with his associates Ankam Rambabu in Hyderabad and Krishna Kishore in Visakhapatnam, Prasad was allegedly instrumental in arranging dummy faculty and facilitating backdoor regulatory approvals for bribes.

Had rescue operation been a little earlier, Bindu would have survived, says husband
KOTTAYAM: Everything was proceeding as usual at Mappathkunnel house at Thalayolaparambu until Thursday afternoon. All of a sudden, the mood went for a toss as 75-year-old Seethalakshmi first learned about the abrupt demise of her beloved daughter Bindu. Initially met with disbelief, the revelation soon gave way to an anguished wail that echoed through the home. Seethalakshami was inconsolable upon learning that Bindu had died when a portion of the building at the Government Medical College Hospital collapsed on Thursday. Her heart-wrenching cries Ente mole. Ente muthe... pierced the air, leaving all present there in profound sorrow. Although the neighbours were aware of Bindus tragic fate, they hesitated to break the news to the elderly mother. Eventually, relatives took it upon themselves to inform Seethalakshmi. Upon hearing her screams, family members and neighbours rushed to her side, desperately trying to offer comfort in the face of such overwhelming grief. Bindu lived with her husband, Visruthan, her mother Seethalakshmi, and her two children, Navami, 20, and Navaneeth, 22, in a small, unfinished house built on five cents of land inherited from the family. The family relied on Bindus modest income from her job at a local textile shop and Visruthans work as a mason to make ends meet. Despite their financial struggles, Bindu and Visruthan were dedicated to their childrens education. Navami is in her final year at a private nursing college in Andhra Pradesh, while Navaneeth had recently completed his engineering studies and is working at a private firm. Bindu and Visruthan had come to the hospital on Tuesday for their daughters surgery, and the tragic accident occurred when Bindu went to the bathroom on the third floor of the Surgical Block. A situation like this should not arise for any others. Had the rescue operations been a little earlier, she would have survived, said Visruthan in a shivering voice.

BJP president after PMs return from Brics
NEW DELHI: With organisational elections now completed in over a dozen states, there is a strong possibility that the BJP will announce the name of a consensus candidate as its next national president shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his foreign tour on July 9 or 10. The process of organisational elections is over in most states. New state presidents were recently elected in Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and other states. In key states such as Bihar, Sikkim, Goa, and Assam, new chiefs are already in place. The process will shortly conclude in the remaining states, including Uttar Pradesh. Amid this process, the BJP has reportedly shortlisted five candidates, and the final selection is expected to take place between July 10 and 19, before the Monsoon session of parliament on July 21. Among the shortlisted candidates are Union ministers Bhupendra Yadav, Dharmendra Pradhan, Prahlad Joshi, Nirmala Sitharaman, Vanathi Srinivasan, and BD Sharma. Bhupendra Yadav, considered one of the partys finest electoral managers for regional elections, is said to be the frontrunner. Yadav, who belongs to the OBC category, has played a key role in formulating electoral strategies for several state elections, including those in Maharashtra (2024), Uttar Pradesh (2017), and Bihar (2020). If Yadav emerges as the consensus candidate, it will send a strong message ahead of the Bihar assembly election, where the Yadav community plays a crucial role in determining the outcome in over 70-90 constituencies, commented a BJP leader from Bihar. Pradhan is viewed as the second strongest contender, owing to his strong connections with both the RSS and the partys organisational machinery. Prahlad Joshi, hailing from South India, where the BJP is focusing its Mission South plan, is also seen as a possible consensus candidate. He is known for his electoral strategies and managing party affairs, particularly in South India. The name of a woman leader, who also serves as the national president of the BJP Mahila Morcha, is also circulating as a potential candidate. Other prominent names include Arun Singh and Tarun Chugh (both national general secretaries), and Dr Sudha Yadav, who is reportedly trusted by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS. Final selection likely before Monsoon session Amid this process, the BJP has reportedly shortlisted five candidates, and the final selection is expected to take place between July 10 and 19, before the Monsoon session of parliament on July 21. New state presidents were recently elected in Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and other states.

Chennai earns NGTs ire over menace of multi-layered plastic
CHENNAI: The southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has pulled up metropolitan local bodies in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Andhra Pradesh government for failing to execute its order to phase out non-recyclable multi-layered plastic (MLP) waste, despite a clear directive issued nearly two years ago. In a stern warning issued last week, a bench of Justice Pushpa Satyanarayana and expert member K Satyagopal said that if action taken reports are not submitted by the next hearing on August 14, each party would have to pay Rs 20,000 to file their reports. If the state has not moved an inch in complying with the order, heavy penalties will follow, the tribunal said. The warning came in response to an execution application filed by environmental activist Antony Clement Rubin, seeking enforcement of the tribunals August 2023 order. The NGT had instructed civic bodies to adopt the Puducherry model for waste segregation and set up MLP recycling facilities, either independently or through public-private partnerships. It had also directed the union environment ministry to promote recycling technologies, including solvent-based methods for extracting aluminium from packaging foils. Local bodies were told to file compliance reports within three months. However, none of the respondents have complied with the order. The tribunal was particularly critical of Chennai corporation for failing to even inspect the Puducherry facility next door. Petitioners counsel Ritwik Dutta told TNIE that the continued use of non-recyclable MLP violates Rule 9(3) of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2018. MLP packaging, including aseptic cartons and laminated snack wrappers, consists of six layers - four of plastic, one paper, and one aluminium - making them commercially non-recyclable.

NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said very heavy rainfall is expected in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan over some of the next six to seven days. It said the monsoon will remain active in many parts of northwest, central and east India during this period.

Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Karnataka may receive heavy rain on some days of the week, it said. The weather department on Monday predicted above-normal rainfall in the country in July and asked authorities and people in central India, Uttarakhand and Haryana to stay alert due to the risk of flooding. It said rainfall is likely to be below normal in large parts of the northeast, many areas of eastern India and extreme southern peninsular India. IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said during an online press briefing that there is a high chance of heavy rainfall in central India and the adjoining southern peninsula. This includes east Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, adjoining areas of Vidarbha and Telangana and parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra. We should monitor the catchment areas of rivers such as the Godavari, Mahanadi and Krishna. Our models show a high probability of above-normal rainfall in the upper Mahanadi catchment, which includes Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. There are several other rivers in the region. We must closely watch rainfall activity and the water levels in reservoirs, he said. He added that good rainfall is also expected in Uttarakhand and Haryana. This region includes several cities and towns, including Delhi. Many south-flowing rivers originate in Uttarakhand.
