Jaipur Fire Tragedy: 'Truck Driver's Remains Brought to Hospital in a Bundle' – The Video Leaves a Deep Impact


<p>A horrific fire incident in Jaipur&#8217;s Bhankrota on Friday morning has sent shockwaves across the nation. The images emerging from the scene and the SMS Hospital mortuary are deeply disturbing, offering a glimpse into the scale of the tragedy. The remains of the driver were so severely damaged that they could only be collected and placed in a small bundle, transported in an ambulance, and subsequently taken to the SMS Hospital mortuary.</p>



<p>The most harrowing sight was the remains of the truck driver whose vehicle collided with the tanker, igniting the devastating blaze. The driver&#8217;s remains were so fragmented that they were contained within a sheet and transported to the hospital in an ambulance.</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/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?w=640" alt="Remains of the driver" class="wp-image-19248572" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bhankrota-Tanker-Blast-2.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>

<p>The Bhankrota fire, according to reports, occurred around 5:45 am. Approximately 40 vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, and pickup trucks, were completely destroyed in the blaze. Firefighters and numerous fire engines eventually brought the fire under control.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CCTV Footage Reveals the Cause</h2>



<p>CCTV footage from the scene shows an LPG tanker, travelling from Ajmer to Jaipur, attempting a U-turn in front of DPS school in Bhankrota. A truck approaching from the Jaipur side collided with the tanker&#8217;s nozzle, releasing approximately 18 tonnes of gas into the air, creating a 200-metre gas chamber. A fire and cloud of smoke immediately followed, culminating in a powerful explosion that spread the fire to nearby vehicles.</p>

<p>The incident, which occurred at approximately 5:44 am in front of Delhi Public School, transformed the area into a raging inferno. Over 40 vehicles were engulfed in flames. The intensity of the blast prevented many from escaping. A sleeper bus travelling behind the tanker and a nearby pipe factory were also destroyed.</p>

Om Prakash Chautala: Stepped Down as CM Thrice in 15 Months, Cleared 10th Exam from Jail


<p><strong>Om Prakash Chautala Death:</strong> Former Chief Minister of Haryana and INLD supremo, Om Prakash Chautala, passed away on Friday. He breathed his last at his residence in Gurugram at the age of 89. His demise has been mourned by several prominent leaders, including President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, Home Minister Amit Shah, Rahul Gandhi, and Arvind Kejriwal.</p>



<p>Chautala, son of former Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhary Devi Lal, served as the Chief Minister of Haryana four times but completed a full five-year term only once.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Political Career Began in 1968</h2>



<p>Om Prakash Chautala started his political career in 1968. He contested his first election from his father&#8217;s traditional seat, Ellenabad, but faced defeat. Alleging electoral irregularities, he appealed to the High Court. Two years later, in 1970, he won the by-election from the same seat and entered the state assembly for the first time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Resigned as CM Three Times in 15 Months</h2>



<p>Chautala first became the Chief Minister of Haryana in December 1989. To retain his position, he contested a by-election from his father&#8217;s Mahendragarh seat. His first term lasted only five and a half months, after which Banarsi Das Gupta took over as Chief Minister. After a short time, Om Prakash Chautala won from the Dabwali seat and returned to the assembly. Banarsi Das Gupta was removed from the CM post after 51 days, leading to Chautala&#8217;s second term. However, V.P. Singh wanted him to step down while the Mahendragarh case was ongoing, resulting in his resignation after only five days. Master Hukam Singh then became the Chief Minister.</p>



<p>In November 1990, following the controversy surrounding the Ram Mandir Rath Yatra, V.P. Singh&#8217;s government fell, and Chandra Shekhar took over as Prime Minister. Four months later, in March 1991, Devi Lal appointed Om Prakash Chautala as Chief Minister for the third time. This decision angered some party MLAs, who subsequently left the party, leading to the government&#8217;s collapse within 15 days. Within 15 months, Chautala had resigned from the CM post for the third time.</p>

Air pollution: rising sore throats and respiratory irritation reveal health crisis


<p><strong>Throat Irritation and Sore Throat:</strong> Air pollution levels have drastically increased in Delhi-NCR and other major cities, severely impacting not only the eyes but also the ears, nose, and throat. A recent survey confirms that pollution is causing various health issues, with ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) problems being prominent.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Air Pollution and Health Issues</h2>



<p>A Pristine Care survey involving 56,176 individuals across cities like Delhi, Meerut, Faridabad, Noida, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, and Kanpur revealed that 55% reported ear, nose, and throat problems during pollution episodes. Of these, 38% complained of eye irritation and inflammation due to pollution. Furthermore, there&#8217;s a rise in throat irritation, nasal burning, and earaches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Effects of Pollution</h2>



<p>The survey highlighted the concerning rise in ENT issues due to pollution. Specifically, pollution can irritate the nasal and ear mucous membranes, potentially leading to chronic problems over time. Experts believe this is particularly dangerous for children due to their sensitive developing bodies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Health Neglect</h2>



<p>Worryingly, 68% of those affected did not consult healthcare professionals. This demonstrates a casual attitude towards pollution&#8217;s effects and a tendency to ignore health problems. However, the survey also showed that most people are aware of and concerned about the long-term effects of pollution.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Advice</h2>



<p>Dr. Dheerendra Singh, ENT surgeon at Pristine Care, stated, “Hazardous air quality is a concern for everyone&#8217;s health, and measures should be taken, especially to protect children. Pollution can irritate the nasal and ear mucous membranes, leading to chronic problems over time. Wearing masks, staying hydrated, and reducing outdoor exposure are crucial to avoid these issues.”</p>



<p>Dr. Vaibhav Kapoor, co-founder of Pristine Care, added, “It&#8217;s surprising to see people taking pollution and its health impacts lightly. We need immediate measures to prevent the rise of eye and ENT health problems.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lack of Awareness Regarding Pollution</h2>



<p>Survey data indicates that only 35% of people wear protective eyewear or sunglasses, and approximately 40% take no special precautions during pollution episodes. This highlights a lack of awareness regarding pollution-related problems, while people need to take proactive steps for their safety.</p>



<p>Rising air pollution levels severely impact our health, particularly manifesting as ear, nose, and throat problems. The public&#8217;s casual attitude towards pollution can lead to long-term health issues. To tackle this crisis, adopting pollution avoidance measures and understanding our health responsibilities is crucial.</p>

IND vs AUS: Australia Announce Big Changes for Final Two Tests, Key Player Returns After 3 Years


<p>The fourth match of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) between Australia and India will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from 26 December. The series is currently tied at 1-1. Ahead of the Boxing Day Test, Australia has made two significant changes to its squad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Konstas and Richardson Get the Nod</h2>



<p>The team has dropped opening batsman Nathan McAndrew and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is out due to injury for the next two matches. 19-year-old Sam Konstas replaces McAndrew, while Josh Hazlewood&#8217;s place has been filled by fast bowler Jhye Richardson, marking Richardson&#8217;s return to Test cricket after three years. His last appearance was in the 2021-22 Ashes series.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Konstas Poised to Create a Major Record on Debut</h2>



<p>A major question is who will open alongside Usman Khawaja in place of McAndrew at the MCG. If Sam Konstas makes his debut in this match, he will become the youngest batsman to debut for Australia in the last 70 years. Previously, Ian Craig debuted at the age of 17 years and 239 days in 1952; he remains the youngest player to debut for Australia in a Test match.</p>



<p>Konstas was part of Australia&#8217;s Under-19 team and performed exceptionally well in the World Cup played in South Africa earlier this year. Furthermore, in the Sheffield Shield, playing for New South Wales against South Australia, he scored 152 and 105 in his first match. He then scored an unbeaten 73 against India A while playing for Australia A at the MCG. Besides Konstas and Richardson, fast bowler Sean Abbott has also been included in the squad for the Melbourne and Sydney Tests.</p>



<p><strong>Australia Squad for the Final Two Test Matches:</strong> Pat Cummins (Captain), Travis Head (Vice-Captain), Steve Smith (Vice-Captain), Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster</p>


Sports

<p>Nineteen-year-old Sam Conners has replaced Mac Sweeney, while fast bowler Jhye Richardson has been included in place of Hazelwood.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Importance of Gold Purity and Hallmarking</h2>



<p>When buying gold, always check its purity and hallmarking. A hallmark guarantees the quality of the gold and helps avoid fraud. In India, 22-carat gold jewellery is most prevalent, with a purity of 91.6%.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meaning of Hallmark Numbers</h2>



<ul>
<li>999: 99.9% pure (24 Carat)</li>



<li>916: 91.6% pure (22 Carat)</li>



<li>875: 87.5% pure (21 Carat)</li>



<li>750: 75% pure (18 Carat)</li>



<li>585: 58.5% pure (14 Carat)</li>



<li>375: 37.5% pure (9 Carat)</li>
</ul>



<p>For example, if &#8220;916&#8221; is marked on the gold, it is 22-carat with a purity of 91.6%.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Check Gold Purity?</h2>



<p>Gold purity is determined by its carat. 24-carat gold is 100% pure. If you have 22-carat gold, you can use the formula below to find its purity:</p>



<p>Purity Percentage = (22/24) x 100 = 91.6%</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How are Prices Determined?</h2>



<p>In India, gold and silver prices are released by the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). These rates are determined based on international gold prices and the rupee&#8217;s position. Additionally, differences in gold and silver prices may exist across different cities due to local taxes and other charges.</p>
