Patna Stampede: Surprise Visit to Hospital Shocks Bihar Chief Minister

"Patna Stampede: Surprise Visit to Hospital Shocks Bihar Chief Minister,"how amazing to know that he is surprised when he was knowing all these things from before.

Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi is very angry after a visit to the Patna hospital where those injured in the Dussehra stampede on Friday evening are being treated. The chief minister reached the hospital to find doctors missing, dirty bedsheets and poorly maintained bathrooms.

He has described conditions in Patna's leading government hospital as "unsatisfactory" and said "we will discuss this and take action tomorrow."

33 people died and 28 were injured in the stampede at the Gandhi Maidan on Friday evening soon after Dussehra celebrations. The injured were taken to the Patna Medical College and Hospital or PMCH, and the Chief Minister was visiting them on Sunday. 



People were not on duty. The doctors were out. I talked to the stampede victims and other patients also. Eighty per cent of the prescribed medicines were unavailable. They were being bought from outside," a shocked Mr Manjhi told reporters after his visit.

The chief minister visited the surgical, urology and orthopaedic wards and noted that there were patients who had been there for 45 days but doctors had not begun treating them yet. He said doctors did not make regular rounds of the wards and seldom checked on patients.

Mumbai: India's top batsman Virat Kohli has asked the public to use common sense on his much talked about relationship with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, saying they indeed are seeing each other and their privacy should be respected. "It is out in the open (Jo hai sabke saamne hai abhi). We are not hiding anything, we are not trying to hide anything. I don't want to hide anything. But if you get repeatedly asked on the same thing and if it is made a matter of debate then both the individuals don't feel it is right," said Kohli at the launch of his fashion line here on Thursday. Kohli said it was already obvious that he and Anushka were in a relationship and people should not be curious about them anymore. "If you are seen together somewhere and still people ask 'is it confirmed?', then it is a matter of common sense. If you know then why ask the same question, that is our basic logic behind it. It is not something wrong apparently for people that ...

Five people sustained gunshot injuries. Police arrested 85 people on charges of rioting and a senior police officer said the situation was "tense but under control".  Mobs took over the streets from Friday night after a petty fight at a religious gathering on Diwali led to clashes between the two communities.
