  • India’s largest football stadium turned into a 250-bed COVID hospital by AMRI Hospitals

    Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 31: In Kolkata, the steep rise in COVID-19 cases challenges the city’s top hospitals to provide beds to patients. Initially, many healthcare providers restricted admission of general patients but amid the sudden rise in cases, even this step did not seem much helpful. Also, several private hospitals expressed helplessness in expanding their critical care units due to a lack of resources. IN the middle of these unprecedented situations, AMRI Hospitals has resolved to pull out all stops to manage and treat COVID-19 patients. Within a year, the hospital managed to set up an entirely different tower facilitated with an increased number of beds, oxygen supply, and critical care unit at its Mukundapur center.

    In this second wave, the inadequate state of health infrastructure has impacted moderate COVID-19 patients the most. Last week, AMRI Hospitals inaugurated a 250-bed Covid field hospital at Salt Lake stadium. Keeping the status of the current scenario, the field hospital is established to treat mild or asymptomatic patients who are unable to procure the right medical facilities on time. There are many patients whose symptoms can be monitored and controlled in the initial stage with timely diagnosis. Patients in urgent need of attention can be brought to the emergency & trauma center of the AMRI Hospital. For the field stadium center, the hospital management ensures to admit patients after examining their condition thoroughly.

     

    In Kolkata, healthcare experts have observed that many people with mild symptoms of Covid-19 do not have space at home to follow isolation, affecting the health of the entire family. AMRI HospitasGroup CEO, MrRupakBarua, states, “We have recruited 75 nurses to run the field hospital at the Salt Lake stadium. They will work in shifts. We have also recruited a few doctors. Ten doctors will remain posted at the field hospital around the clock. All the recruitments were done over the last 10 days.” The management has planned out the functioning of the Salt Lake stadium center with the assistance of highly experienced doctors of the hospital’s panel. It has been decided that senior doctors and specialists will be regularly conducting visits to examine the situation. All the staff members including nurses, doctors, and ward members recruited for the field hospital are experienced and well-trained beforehand.

    The senior management of the hospital has implemented the idea of opening field hospitals in large spaces of the city so that nobody has to suffer from the insufficiency of bedding facilities for the treatment. However, the hospital has taken the initiative of focusing on building a strong healthcare infrastructure with maximum facilities to combat the current crisis. The opening of Salt Lake stadium is the first step of the goal, in the battle against the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in the city.

  • The third former ruler of the Jadeja dynasty of Kachchh, Gujarat dies due to Covid-19

    Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 8: The Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha (1897) pays their respectful homage to Late who died of Covid-19 complications, in a condolence ceremony held virtually on June 5, 2021. He was the third former ruler of the Jadeja dynasty of Kachchh, Gujarat, and a descendant of Lord Shree Krishna and lived a royal purposeful life of 85 years. Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur expressed his heartfelt condolences.

    Since Late Maharao Pragmal III had expressed his wish that there would be no Maharao on the throne after him. On this matter, Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar shared, “The tradition of Raja-Maharaja has been continuing as a commitment to our ancestors and society. He felt the Maharao Sahib, for whom he had great personal respect, should have refrained from making such an announcement. We must follow our respective traditions which are passed on from generation to generation. Our ancestors have made unprecedented sacrifices to carry forward these positions, titles, and traditions.”

    He added further, “As part of our traditions, we should uphold these values and principles, and give our descendants the responsibility to carry it forward. Conventions, such as the continuation of family legacies and traditional titles, may not be decided by a few people or a committee. The division of tangible wealth is one issue, but identities or values may not be renounced because it is also the identity of the larger community.”
    The Mahasabha President Raja Manvendra Singh (former MP Mathura), Vaganer Kesari Singh, Maharaj Jaspur, Devvrat Singh Sirohi, Hemendra Singh Jaisalmer, Ran Singh Judev, Anirudh Singh, Satish Chandra Devda, Tamil Nadu Assembly President Dr. Guna, Rishiraj Singh, Aarti Singh Gujarat, Aashutosh Singh Sisodiya, MK Harshwardhan Singh Dungarpur, MP, Rajya Sabha also supported Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur that the dynasty cannot be deemed to have ended.

People from all walks of life were provided food and shelter under his guidance. The Mahasabha prayed for the recovery of Maharani Sahiba Preeti Devi, the wife of Late Maharao Pragmal III, who is under treatment for covid-19 in the hospital.

  • UN-backed Music Video on Pollution and Environment ‘Prithvi Manthan’ – The 2nd Churning

    An epic thriller Music Video based on Siva Strotam

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 4: Auromira Entertainment, the production house behind the wildly popular viral music video ‘Aigiri Nandini’ collaborates with Veteran Singer Susmita Das to release an epic thriller and action song titled ‘Prithvi Manthan’. This music video based on Shiva TandavaStrotam and makes a reference to the mythological Sagar Manthan (Churning of the Sea).

    What is The 2nd Churning…

    Sagar Manthan (Churning of the Sea): In Hindu mythology, the Gods and the Demons joined up to churn the seas to extract the hidden treasure. But the skimming also produced ‘Halahal’, the most vicious poison that threatened to destroy the entire universe. Lord Shiva came to everyone’s rescue and swallowed the poison to save the universe.

    Prithvi Manthan (Skimming of the Earth): An analogy for over-exploitation of natural resources to meet our greed and unsustainable lifestyle. In the process, like ‘Halahal’ in Samudra Manthan, Green House gases and pollutants are deadly by-products, which have grown to such proportions that the very existence of humankind now stands jeopardized.

    Well-known actress Suryamayee Mohapatra has performed in noted lyricist Shivkumar Bilagrami’s ‘creative fusion’, choreographed by Amit Nayak (Amit Dance Group). Director Dev Meher and Former DG of Forest, Government of India Siddhanta Das have been instrumental in the direction and its conceptualization. Musician Om Prakash Mohanty has composed the music video which will be released officially on 5th June.

    Singer Susmita Das said that,  “I like to produce songs on contemporary social issues to sensitize public sentiment as I believe music is the most powerful medium to reach out to the masses. My earlier song “Ayigrinandini…” based on Durga Strotram, on the theme of women’s empowerment, was highly appreciated by music lovers. I thought Shiv TandavStotram being so very intense and energetic could form the basis of a song to generate awareness on Environment.”

    On this occasion, Siddhanta Das said that “I very sincerely wish the song to circulate far and wide. It is not for entertainment, but for spreading an important message for creating mass awareness. Therefore, I seek the support of Environmentalists and celebrities in different fields who are passionate about conservation of Environment to promote the song.”

    Director of the music video Dev Meher said that “Apart from being the only song from India to be backed by the UN body for 2021, this music video has several firsts. For the 1st time in India, a music video on Pollution has been built at this scale combining CGI, Choreography, Performance, and Art.  Similarly, for the 1st time, a concept on the environment has been musically fused into Shiva Tandava Stotram.”

    The Video is already gaining extremely positive reviews online and looks set to go viral.

    Odisha Mining Corporation Ltd also has given support for the project.

    United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), and Jungle Lodges and Resorts (JLR) a Govt of Karnataka undertaking have endorsed the project.
