“Nobody gave my child oxygen”: Infant dies at UP Govt hospital
Grieving father alleges medical negligence
Fatehpur: A heart-wrenching video has emerged from Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh, showing a grieving father, Shahrukh, in tears after the death of his newborn son Aryan, allegedly due to medical negligence at a government hospital.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at Sardar Hospital, where Shahrukh, a resident of Lakhipur village in the Khaga Kotwali area, had rushed his ailing child after he was referred from a local community health centre.
In a viral video, Shahrukh is seen sitting on the floor of the hospital, crying inconsolably. “10 minute ho gaya mere bache ko oxygen nahi lagaya, mere bache ko kisi ne hath nahi lagaya,” he sobs — which translates to, “It’s been 10 minutes, nobody gave oxygen to my child, nobody even touched him.”
According to the family, Aryan’s health had suddenly deteriorated on Wednesday afternoon. He was first taken to the Hardo Community Health Centre in Khaga, where doctors reportedly declared him critical and advised immediate transfer to the district hospital. However, upon reaching the emergency ward of Sardar Hospital, the family alleges that no medical staff attended to the newborn.
Despite reportedly arriving in time, the child was allegedly denied examination, oxygen support, or any initial treatment. Aryan died shortly after.
Local authorities have not yet issued an official statement. The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media, raising serious questions about the state of emergency care in public hospitals.
बहुत दर्दनाक है 💔

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
