‘Half his blood stuck in machine': UP kidney patient dies during dialysis as power fails, no diesel for generator
A 26-year-old kidney patient in Bijnor died during dialysis when a power outage struck the district hospital, and the backup generator lacked fuel. Sarfaraz Ahmad's treatment was interrupted, leaving his family pleading for help. BIJNOR: A kidney patient died during dialysis after a power cut halted treatment, and the hospital generator had no fuel, even as an official inspection was underway at the Bijnor district hospital, authorities said on Saturday. Sarfaraz Ahmad, 26, from Phulsanda village, was undergoing dialysis when electricity failed. Hospital staff said they could not resume treatment because the contracted firm had not supplied diesel. CDO Purna Borah, inspecting the hospital at the time of the incident on Friday, found five other patients lying there without power, lights or fans. Sarfaraz's mother told TOI, "When the power went off, the machine stopped midway with almost half his blood stuck inside it. I begged the staff to start the generator, but no one helped. My son died soon after." Medical experts TOI spoke to, however, said it is highly unlikely that a large amount of Sarfaraz's blood could have been inside the machine at any given point. A doctor clarified, "During haemodialysis, only a fraction - about 200 to 250 ml - of blood circulates through the machine at any time. However, an abrupt power failure can delay the process and destabilise critically ill patients" The hospital staff blamed Sanjeevani, the private firm running the unit under a public-private partnership since 2020, for repeatedly failing to supply diesel. DM Jasjit Kaur visited the hospital and seized all dialysis-unit records and assured strict action. Kaur said, "There was mismanagement and no cleanliness in the unit. A case is being registered against the agency. In addition, it will be blacklisted." Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Hyderabad development body plans new round of land auction at Neopolis in Kokapet
HYDERABAD : After almost two years, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is gearing up for land auctions at Neopolis in Kokapet. Along with this, it has identified plots that can be sold. Earlier, the previous BRS govt had auctioned about 95 acres at Neopolis in two phases – June 2021 and Aug 2023. The state govt has already decided to go for land auctions across the state as part of resource mobilisation to fund various projects. Since there is a slump in the real estate sector, agencies such as HMDA and Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) have been waiting for the right time. The HMDA also wants funds for its various projects, including two elevated corridors – Paradise to Shamirpet and Paradise to Dairy Farm Road (Medchal) – and a greenfield radial road in Future City. "Of the 20 big land parcels at Neopolis, five are still available. If the state govt permits, we will go ahead with the auctions," HMDA metropolitan commissioner Sarfaraz Ahmad told TOI. In the earlier auctions, HMDA got about Rs 40 crore to Rs 100 crore per acre, and this time, the authority may fix Rs 40 to Rs 50 crore per acre as the upset price. From Neopolis, the HMDA earned Rs 2,000 crore and Rs 3,300 crore in the two phases. Budvel land auctions fetched the govt another Rs 3,625 crore in 2023. HMDA officials said there are about 2,414 plots available in 18 HMDA layouts, including ongoing layouts. While four major land parcels are available in Budvel, there are 41 open plots in Uppal Bhagat, 12 in Turkayamjal and 327 in Inmulnarva village in Rangareddy district. There are various layouts, including projects that were taken up under land pooling schemes, which have open plots that would be auctioned in the future, officials said. For instance, Lemoor, Thorrur, Kurmalguda, Bachupally, Medipally, Mokila, Pratapa Singaram, Bahadurpally and Pedda Kanjarala have 2,029 plots that are developed or under development. Sources said the govt will first go for land auctions in high demand areas in western part of the city, such as Kokapet, and continue if there is a good response.

Panama City, May 26 (PTI) An all-party parliamentary delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will visit Panama from Tuesday to convey India's strong message of zero-tolerance for terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will underline India's strong message of unity and brotherhood as well as India's collective resolve to fight against the scourge of terrorism, it said.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam attack. India carried out precision strikes as part of Operation Sindoor on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions. The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding of stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10.
