UT admn finalises plan for critical care hospital in Manimajra
Construction plan of the project, which will come up at Pocket Number 14, Manimajra, has been finalised. The engineering department will float the tender to invite bids.
The plan is to construct a building with three floors on 1,28,833 square feet covered area. The structure will comprise both the critical care block and the service or sarai block. Since the total plot area is 87,600 square feet, the Chandigarh administration allowed a 1.50 permissible FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for this project.
The new critical care hospital will have facilities such as emergency triage, gynaecology emergency, point of care lab, isolation room, ultrasound room, plaster room, duty room, and DU room. It will also have dialysis, isolation ward, therapeutic diet, duty room, staff room, cafeteria, and kitchen. Other facilities will include a 21-bedded ICU/HDU, operation theatre, administrative/office block, X-ray, MRI room, CT scan, and lab.

The administration has planned a dedicated building for sarai, which will have 84 beds for the public. This building will have chemist shop, tuck shop, cafeteria, kitchen, etc. A basement parking has been planned to prevent issues. A few areas in the basement will also be used for services.
The ground, first, second, and third floors of the building will have all the required facilities with modern technologies for treatment of patients.
In-depth consultations were held with the UT health department during the planning stage. Each medical aspect related to the project was thoroughly discussed and the floor-wise plan was finalised.
The critical care hospital project will be constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM). Since Manimajra is a densely populated area, the project aims at facilitating a large number of people, mainly from Manimajra, Maulijagran, and adjoining areas.
Box:
Earlier, the Chandigarh administration asked the Municipal Corporation to give its land for the project in Manimajra and take some of the UT's land in the southern sectors in return. However, the MC rejected the land-swap proposal and sought money against the land. Thereafter, the Chandigarh administration earmarked a new plot of land for the project instead of taking MC's land. Since the MC's land is situated adjacent to the Manimajra Civil Hospital, UT previously found the MC's land more suitable for the critical care centre project.
However, since the MC refused the swap, the project is now coming up at another location in Manimajra, decided by the Chandigarh administration.

Kanpur zoo to reopen today
1 2 Kanpur: The zoo is set to resume operations from Tuesday, enabling visitors to view the animals. This reopening comes after receiving approval from the chief wildlife warden, following confirmation that all animals are infection-free. The zoo had to be closed when Pataudi, a lion brought from the Gorakhpur zoo for medical treatment, tested positive for bird flu at IVRI Bareilly, after which the zoo was shut down and classified as a red zone on May 13. The situation worsened with the deaths of a peacock and a Brahminy duck, with the peacock confirmed to have bird flu. After that, the Central Zoo Authority sent experts to evaluate the conditions who obtained samples of some other animals and sent them to the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases in Bhopal. The results showed no presence of bird flu in the animals. Following standard procedures, further testing was conducted at both the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases and IVRI Bareilly in several stages, all yielding negative results. Zoo director Kanhaiya Patel informed that the final test samples dispatched to the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases on June 17 also confirmed the absence of infection, leading the authorities to authorise reopening of the zoo from Tuesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists Recommend: Eat 1 Teaspoon Tonight – Wake Up With a Flatter Stomach Hollywood News | USA Click Here Undo Meanwhile, the zoo's safety protocols and procedures have been successfully implemented.

Pam Tebow risked her life to save Tim Tebow—now he welcomes his own baby girl
Photo byHe wasn't supposed to survive birth. Decades later, he's welcoming his own daughter. Tim Tebow's life story has always been rooted in faith, family, and resilience. Long before he was a Heisman Trophy winner or NFL quarterback, his very survival was uncertain. His mother, Pam Tebow, defied medical advice warning her that continuing the pregnancy could kill her. Now, the same child she fought for has embraced fatherhood, welcoming a baby girl with his wife, Demi-Leigh. From a life-threatening crisis in the Philippines to holding his own newborn, Tim Tebow's journey is a powerful testament to belief, perseverance, and family devotion. Pam and Bob Tebow's missionary work and the life-threatening pregnancy in the Philippines Pam and Bob Tebow first met at the University of Florida in the late 1960s, going on their first date to the Georgia-Florida game in Jacksonville before marrying in 1971. Their shared faith led them to the Philippines in 1985 as missionaries, moving there with their four children. But their mission work turned terrifying when Pam contracted amoebic dysentery from contaminated water. She fell into a coma and required aggressive medication. Doctors soon discovered she was pregnant. The drugs had caused severe placental abruption—a condition that can deprive a fetus of oxygen. 'They thought I should have an abortion to save my life from the beginning all the way through the seventh month,' Pam told The Gainesville Sun, describing the intense pressure she faced to terminate the pregnancy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure your family's future! ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Pam Tebow's faith-driven decision to refuse abortion and save Tim Tebow Despite the risks, Pam held to her convictions. Bob Tebow shared with Sports Illustrated: 'I prayed, 'God, if you give me a son, if you give me Timmy, I'll raise him to be a preacher.'' Pam went to Manila during her seventh month and remained on strict bed rest. On August 14, 1987, in the Philippine capital, she gave birth to Timothy Tebow. 'We were concerned at first because he was so malnourished, but he definitely made up for it,' she said. Tim Tebow's football career, Heisman Trophy, and College Football Hall of Fame legacy Tim Tebow would go on to defy every expectation. At 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, he became one of college football's most celebrated players. From 2006–09, he led the Florida Gators to two national titles, two SEC titles, and won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore. He remains the SEC's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2023. In 2010, he also launched a charity supporting hundreds of children with special needs. Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh Tebow welcome their newborn baby girl Today, Tim Tebow steps into a new role as a father. On Monday, his wife Demi-Leigh announced: 'Our daughter is here! We couldn't be more grateful for the blessing and gift of this new little life.' Married since January 20, 2020, in South Africa, the couple shared their pregnancy news earlier this year. From a fragile start in the Philippines to cradling his own baby girl, Tim Tebow's story has come full circle—a living testament to faith, family, and hope.

SHRC: Take action to prevent rabies deaths
Thiruvananthapuram: In the wake of 1.65 lakh people being bitten by dogs and 17 fatalities in the past five months, state human rights commission (SHRC) chairperson Justice Alexander Thomas on Monday ordered that steps be initiated to draft a plan to prevent rabies-related deaths. This follows the opinion of Dr Jacob John, former head of virology department at Vellore Christian Medical College, who suggested forming a task force. Justice Thomas emphasised the necessity of the Justice Siri Jagan Committee, appointed by the Supreme Court to recommend compensation to victims of dog bites, and requested state govt to clarify whether the committee was still active. SHRC also demanded a report from the additional chief secretary of the local self-govt department within a month. The commission registered the case suo motu based on media reports to take urgent measures to prevent rabies deaths and curb the street dog menace. Dr John recommended forming a task force that included representatives from the departments of forest, agriculture, animal husbandry, education, local self-govt and health. An expert from the health sector should lead the task force, with a senior govt official as secretary and Institute of Advanced Virology should be included. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Тези обувки са висш пилотаж в мъжката мода.
