Kalaburagi: AC at GIMS Hospital’s ICU not working for over one month; Patient allege negligence
Kalaburagi: The medical staff at the Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) Hospital in Kalaburagi are grappling with challenges in providing adequate care to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to a malfunctioning air cooling system that broke down over a month ago.
With approximately 14 patients currently undergoing treatment in the ICU, the absence of proper air cooling facilities has led to heightened discomfort and distress among both patients and their families.
The failure of the GIMS administration to provide temporary cooling measures, such as fans, to alleviate the sweltering conditions has exacerbated the situation, particularly in Kalaburagi district, known for its hot climate and intense sunlight. Some families have resorted to bringing fans from home to provide relief to their loved ones.
Criticism has been directed towards the GIMS administrative board and the government for what relatives perceive as negligence in addressing the dire situation, with accusations of playing with the lives of patients in the hospital.
Responding to the concerns raised, Minister for Medical Education Dr. Sharanprakash Patil acknowledged the issue of the non-functioning air-conditioning system at GIMS Hospital. He assured action, stating that he has directed the relevant authorities to expedite the repair of the machinery. Additionally, plans are underway to procure 500 more air conditioners for the hospital to ensure better patient care and comfort in the future, he said.Kalaburagi: AC at GIMS Hospital’s ICU not working for over one month; Patient allege negligence

HP Cong Minority Morcha delegation meets with party leader Venugopal over mosque row
Shimla (PTI): A delegation of the Himachal Congress Minority Morcha apprised the party's central leaders on Thursday of the atmosphere of fear created in the state by targeting a particular community and staging demonstrations near mosques.
The delegation led by Iqbal Mohammad, president of the state Congress Minority Morcha, also comprised imams of various mosques. It met with Congress general secretary K C Venugopal and its Minority Morcha national president Imran Pratapgarhi in New Delhi.
In a statement here, the state Congress Minority Morcha said the situation has become tense due to demonstrations by Hindu outfits in front of mosques and efforts were being made to vitiate the atmosphere and instill fear among Muslims.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is trying to take people of all religions along but some elements are trying to spoil the atmosphere and malign the government, it added.
According to the statement, Venugopal spoke to the chief minister over the phone over the issue.
Ten people were injured during a protest demanding the demolition of a portion of a mosque in Shimla's Sanjauli area last week. In Mandi, police used water cannons on protestors demanding the demolition of an unauthorised portion of a mosque in the town.
On Tuesday, residents of Kasumpti in Shimla submitted a memorandum to demolish a mosque in the area and similar demands are also coming in from Sunni and other areas in the state.
A dispute between a barber from the minority community and a local businessman in the Malyana area in the suburbs of Shimla on August 30 turned into a communal issue with Hindu groups demanding the demolition of unauthorised mosques and residents calling for the identification and verification of outsiders coming in the state.
