Bengaluru: Nagashree PR, a survivor of the Rameshwaram Cafe blast on March 1, has regained 80% of the vision in her right eye after months of medical intervention, including corneal transplantation and retinal surgery.

The 25-year-old accountant lost her vision due to severe injuries to her cornea. Initially, she could only perceive objects as shadows or blurred images. Despite the slim chances of fully regaining her sight, Nagashree remained hopeful, particularly for her daughter Shreevalli, whom she longed to see again.

Admitted to Nethradhama Super Specialty Eye Hospital four days after an initial repair surgery at another hospital, Nagashree underwent three additional surgeries, including a corneal graft. Dr. Sri Ganesh, chairman and MD of Nethradhama, described her injuries as severe, with a completely torn cornea, damaged lens, and a trapped pupil, all of which posed high risks of infection.

Nagashree's vision was significantly restored following a secondary intraocular lens implant, which involved a specialized fixation technique, along with corneal graft and retina correction.

BENGALURU: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Monday alleged Electronic Voting Machine manipulations led to the defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in just concluded assembly polls in Maharashtra.

While speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said the BJP does selective manipulations to convince people that there were no wrongdoings. He also wanted to go back to the paper ballots system.

The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra won a landslide victory in the assembly elections, shattering the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's dream to wrest power. The BJP won the highest ever 132 seats for the party, while the Shiv Sena led by Shinde bagged 57 seats and NCP won 41 seats to take the Mahayuti total to 230 seats. Congress as part of MVA won just 16 seats.

"We analysed the Maharashtra poll outcome deeply. We felt that in many places EVMs were manipulated," Parameshwara said. He also said an obvious question would be why not it happened in Jharkhand and elsewhere. The manipulations are done selectively so that no one can question it, he blamed.

According to him, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a leading partner. Had the Congress been the leading partner, things would have changed. He backed the ballot papers saying that the same was discussed in Maharashtra Congress as well.
