Orange Alert: Storms, Hail Predicted for Five Districts in 48 Hours


<p><strong>MP Weather Alert:</strong> Due to a new Western Disturbance approaching Jammu and Kashmir and a low-pressure area forming over North Rajasthan, the weather in Gwalior and surrounding areas will deteriorate on 27 December. An orange alert has been issued for Gwalior, Bhind, Morena, and Sheopur for thunderstorms, rain, and hail. Winds could gust up to 40-50 kilometres per hour. The rain may lead to a sharp cold snap in the New Year, with fog and cold waves.</p>



<p>According to the Meteorological Department, dense fog will prevail on Tuesday. Due to moisture from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, Monday saw cloudy skies throughout the day, preventing sunshine. This caused the maximum temperature to drop from 25.3°C to 22.2°C, creating a cold-day-like feeling. The temperature was 1.2°C below normal, making the cold more intense. Light rain fell in the city at night, further increasing the chill.</p>



<p>Clouds thickened after sunset. The minimum temperature was recorded at 9.3°C, 1.6°C above normal. Night-time fog reduced visibility to between 200 and 500 metres. The Meteorological Department has forecast a rise in minimum temperature on 24 December.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for the Weather Change</h2>



<ul>
<li>Currently, a Western Disturbance is active in Jammu and Kashmir. A low-pressure area has formed over Rajasthan. Another low-pressure area persists in the Bay of Bengal. This has resulted in moisture from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, leading to cloudy skies and moderate fog.</li>



<li>A new Western Disturbance will become active on 27 December. The low-pressure area over Rajasthan may remain active. The system on 27 December is quite strong. This could cause heavy rain in Gwalior, Sheopur, Morena, and Bhind, while light rain is expected in Datia and Shivpuri. A yellow alert has been issued for these two districts.</li>



<li>The effects of all systems will end by 29 December. Thereafter, the wind direction will shift to the north. Icy winds will bring a cold wave. The existing moisture from the rain may lead to dense fog.</li>



<li>The cold will intensify in the New Year.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Temperature Readings</strong><br>Time – Temperature<br>05:30 – 10.6°C<br>08:30 – 12.0°C<br>11:30 – 19.6°C<br>14:30 – 21.4°C<br>17:30 – 18.8°C</p>

Award the Khel Ratna if you wish, but we won&#39;t apply,&quot; says Manu Bhaker&#39;s father Ram Kishan Bhaker.


<p>The exclusion of young shooter Manu Bhaker, a double bronze medallist at the Paris 2024 Olympics, from the list of potential recipients of the upcoming Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award has ignited controversy. Reports suggest that Bhaker&#8217;s name is absent from the tentative list of awardees for this year&#8217;s sports awards. Although the list is yet to be officially released, sources within the Ministry of Sports claim that Bhaker&#8217;s name was not included because she did not submit a nomination.</p>



<p>Commenting on this controversy, Manu Bhaker&#8217;s father, Ram Kishan Bhaker, told &#8216;Patrika&#8217; that if the Ministry of Sports is proud of his daughter&#8217;s achievements, they should award her the Khel Ratna. He stated that he would not be applying for the award.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Father Alleges Bureaucratic Discretion in Selection Committee</h2>



<p>While media reports claimed that Manu Bhaker had submitted her name for the Khel Ratna, her father categorically denied this. He asserted, &#8220;I can confidently say that none of the previous Khel Ratna recipients applied for the award. What is the need? Whether you apply or not, the award is given at the discretion of the committee, which is dominated by bureaucrats.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Selection Process</h2>



<p>1. Until a few years ago, a player&#8217;s nomination was submitted by their federation. If the federation failed to submit a nomination, the player could submit their own. However, federations have now been removed from this process.</p>



<p>2. Now, players must submit their nominations to the award committee. This committee then decides which players will receive the awards.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Composition of the Selection Committee</h2>



<p>The 12-member committee&#8217;s chairperson is appointed by the Ministry of Sports. The committee comprises four former Olympians, three sports journalists, one sports administrator, one official from SAI (Sports Authority of India), one para-sports athlete, and one sports expert.</p>


&#8216;Award the Khel Ratna if you wish, but we won&#8217;t apply,&#8217; says Manu Bhaker&#8217;s father Ram Kishan Bhaker

<p><strong>Rohit Sharma&#8217;s Press Conference:</strong> The next match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from Boxing Day, 26 December. Team India captain Rohit Sharma held a press conference on Tuesday before the Boxing Day Test. A major question facing Team India for this Test is at which position captain Rohit Sharma will bat. Despite Rohit Sharma&#8217;s presence in the second and third Tests against Australia, KL Rahul opened the innings. Rohit Sharma himself batted in the middle order and managed scores of 3, 6, and 10 runs in three innings. When questioned about his batting order in the press conference on Tuesday before the Melbourne Test, Rohit Sharma appeared irritated.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maintaining Silence on Team Strategy</h2>



<p>During Tuesday&#8217;s press conference, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma didn&#8217;t seem keen to reveal the team&#8217;s strategy. When asked about his batting order, he said, &#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t worry about who bats where. We will have to figure it out ourselves. It&#8217;s not something I should discuss at every press conference. We will try whatever it takes for our team to perform well.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rohit Sharma Defends Shubman Gill</h2>



<p>When asked why Shubman Gill hasn&#8217;t been able to perform exceptionally well despite getting good starts, Rohit Sharma said without hesitation, &#8220;In Adelaide, he looked quite good in both innings, he just didn&#8217;t score a big score. I think he scored 25-30 runs in both innings. In Brisbane, he was out on the second or third ball. You can&#8217;t overthink it, but Gill is one of our young players and is playing really well.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Tours are Challenging’</h2>



<p>Rohit further added that these tours are challenging. When someone tours India, it&#8217;s difficult for them too. Like Yashasvi Jaiswal, we don&#8217;t want to overcomplicate things with him (Shubman Gill). He has scored a lot of runs before coming into the Indian team, so he knows how to score runs.</p>

"Luv Sinha reacts to Sonakshi's Ramayan controversy, sparking rumors of sibling rift


<p><strong>Sonakshi Sinha Ramayana Controversy:</strong> Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of Shatrughan Sinha, is currently in the news not for her films but for her knowledge, or rather the lack thereof. First, Shaktiman actor Mukesh Khanna, and now Indian poet Kumar Vishwas, have questioned her answer to a question about the Ramayana on KBC. Now, her elder brother, Luv Sinha, has also commented on the situation. His statement has led fans to speculate about a rift between the siblings. </p>



<p>Actor Mukesh Khanna recently questioned Sonakshi Sinha&#8217;s general knowledge and upbringing. On Amitabh Bachchan&#8217;s show KBC, Sonakshi was unable to answer a relatively simple question about the Ramayana – who Hanuman brought Sanjeevani Booti for – and had to use a lifeline. Mukesh Khanna subsequently criticised her upbringing and values, and reprimanded her for her &#8220;lack of Ramayana knowledge&#8221;. Sonakshi responded to his criticism. When Luv Sinha was questioned about the matter, he implicitly acknowledged his sister&#8217;s mistake and appeared to agree with his father, Shatrughan Sinha&#8217;s response.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="675" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image_4de50e.png?w=640" alt="Luv Sinha React Sonakshi Sinha Ramayana Controversy" class="wp-image-19259021" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image_4de50e.png 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image_4de50e.png?resize=300,169 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image_4de50e.png?resize=768,432 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image_4de50e.png?resize=1024,576 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Luv Sinha&#8217;s Response to Mukesh Khanna</h2>



<p>Speaking to Bollywood Helpline, Luv stated, &#8220;I agree with my father, Shatrughan Sinha&#8217;s response to Mukesh Khanna. He has already responded. My response might have been slightly different. Mukesh ji is obviously much senior to me. He shouldn&#8217;t have said those things about my father. He shouldn&#8217;t have said anything about Sonakshi now, as it&#8217;s a matter of the past. It was a mistake, but a past mistake. Yes, it was wrong, but it&#8217;s been a long time ago.&#8221;</p>



<p>Shatrughan Sinha, in response to Mukesh Khanna, had said, &#8220;I am very proud of all three of my children. Sonakshi has become a star on her own merit. I never had to launch her career. She is a daughter any father would be proud of. Not knowing the answer to a question on the Ramayana does not disqualify Sonakshi from being a good Hindu. She doesn&#8217;t need a certificate of approval from anyone.&#8221;</p>

Even in Death, Jodhpur&#39;s Daughter Hiteshi Borana Lives On, Gave New Life to Two Patients


<p>Hiteshi Borana, a former nursing student at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Jodhpur, was critically injured in a road accident in Rajkot. Doctors declared her brain dead. Following this, Hiteshi&#8217;s family decided to donate her organs after bringing her to AIIMS Jodhpur.</p>



<p>At AIIMS Jodhpur, Hiteshi&#8217;s two kidneys and liver were donated. One kidney and the liver were transplanted into different patients in Jodhpur. Another kidney was sent to SMS Hospital, Jaipur, via a green corridor. No suitable recipients were found for the remaining organs. The AIIMS administration sent Hiteshi&#8217;s body home in a flower-decorated ambulance with full honours.</p>



<p>Hiteshi, 31, a Pal Road Rupnagar II resident, had completed her BSc and MSc in Nursing from AIIMS Jodhpur. About a year and a half ago, she secured a job as a nursing officer at AIIMS Rajkot. On 12 December, she sustained serious injuries in a road accident in Rajkot. After a thorough examination at AIIMS Jodhpur, she was declared brain-dead on 21 December.</p>



<p>Hiteshi&#8217;s father, retired principal Lakshmi Narayan Boraana, and mother, retired senior nursing officer Chandra Kala, decided to donate their daughter&#8217;s organs. Transplantation coordinators, including Kuldeep, Dashrath, Neha, and Ramesh, contacted the family regarding the organ donation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kidney to a Woman, Liver to a Man</h2>



<p>One of Hiteshi&#8217;s kidneys and her liver were transplanted into patients at AIIMS Jodhpur on Sunday. Both recipients are residents of Jodhpur. The kidney was transplanted into a 38-year-old woman whose kidneys had deteriorated due to high blood pressure.</p>



<p>The liver was transplanted into a 40-year-old man whose liver was damaged by hepatitis. The transplantation procedure was coordinated by Prof. A.S. Sandhu and transplant nodal officer Dr. Shivcharan Navaria.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">60 Kidney and 15 Liver Transplants</h2>



<p>AIIMS Jodhpur has performed 60 kidney transplants to date, with most kidneys donated by known individuals. In addition, 15 liver transplants have been performed, nine from family members and six from brain-dead donors.</p>


<p>Jodhpur News: Hiteshi suffered serious injuries in a road accident in Rajkot on 12 December. After a thorough examination at AIIMS Jodhpur on 21 December, she was declared brain dead.</p>

Jaipur Tanker Blast: Jasmin escapes death by smashing window, suffers fractured leg


<p>Jaipur Gas Blast: The hopes that dawned with the morning sun were snatched away in an instant by a horrific accident, forever altering the life of Dr Jasmeen Khan. The Bhankrota fire incident shook Dr Jasmeen&#8217;s life in a way she will never forget. Amidst the smoke and flames inside the bus, Dr Jasmeen saw death approach, but fate granted her another chance at life.</p>



<p>Amidst pain and fear, she took steps to save her life which she will probably never forget. Dr Jasmeen is currently admitted to Ward 3, South Wing, Sawai Man Singh Hospital. In the accident, both her palms and scalp were burnt, and she also suffered a fractured leg.</p>



<p>Dr Jasmeen told Patrika that she had been working as a Unani doctor at an Ayurvedic hospital in Vaishali Nagar for a year. Before that, she was employed on contract in Rajsamand.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?w=640" alt="jaipur blast" class="wp-image-19255799" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jaipur-blast-8.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>



<p>On the night of the accident, she had left Rajsamand for Jaipur on a sleeper bus. When the bus reached the Thikriya toll tax in the morning, she woke up. She checked the time on her mobile phone and then went back to sleep.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Walked 1 kilometre</h2>



<p>After a short while, she woke up to find the bus filled with smoke and people screaming. Everyone was shouting to open the bus door. Seeing this, Dr Jasmeen broke the window and jumped out.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
</figure>



<p>During this, her leg was fractured. Then, with the help of two other passengers, she somehow managed to escape and took refuge in a nearby field. After walking about a kilometre, she found a car driver who took her to a private hospital, where after initial treatment, she was sent to SMS Hospital.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No one came to enquire about her well-being</h2>



<p>Injured Dr Jasmeen is admitted in Ward 3, South Wing of the Surgery Department, but her family says that no minister or leader has contacted her to enquire about her well-being.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bus burnt before her eyes</h2>



<p>Dr Jasmeen said that while jumping from the bus, her mobile phone, winter clothes and other belongings were left behind. She saw the bus burning fiercely before her eyes. After arriving at the SMS Hospital emergency room, she asked a staff member for a phone and then called her father.</p>


<p>Tanker Blast: Dr Jasmeen, injured in the blast, is admitted to South Wing 3 of the surgery department. However, her family claims that no minister or leader has contacted them to inquire about her well-being.</p>
