Jaipur Tanker Blast: Bike placed in sleeper bus boot, then the caller asked – is the bike secure? Police gave this response


<p>A horrific accident on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway on Friday has left a lasting impact on people&#8217;s minds. People are arriving from far and wide to visit the accident site. While some arrived to offer assistance after witnessing the horrifying scene, others were merely spectators, even taking selfies with the burning vehicles. Still others were seen collecting salvaged items from the charred remains.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Identifying Society&#8217;s Real Heroes</h2>



<p>DCP Amit Kumar stated that several individuals, disregarding their own safety, helped the injured after the gas tanker caught fire. Some attempted to extinguish the flames, while others rescued the injured from vehicles and transported them to hospitals. Many risked their lives to pull people from the burning vehicles.</p>



<p>However, many of these ‘real heroes’ remain unidentified. The police have formed a team to identify these societal heroes. They plan to honour them using CCTV footage, videos from the scene, social media posts, and footage from hospital cameras. The police aim to compile a list of these heroes and honour them within five days.</p>



<p>Ravi Meena, a resident of Bindayaka, said, “Our home is about 10 kilometres from here, but we rushed to the scene upon hearing the explosion. It was a deeply saddening event.” Champalal, who lives 5 kilometres from the accident site, added, “I have never witnessed such an accident before. I only hope nothing like this ever happens again.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;Forget the bike, lives have been lost here&#8221;</h2>



<p>A young man sent his bike in the boot of a sleeper coach to Jaipur, but following the accident, the bike was reduced to ashes. The police stated that when the young man called to ask if his bike was safe, he was told, &#8220;Brother, everything here has been destroyed.&#8221;</p>



<p>Police officers at the scene suggested closing the DPS cut to alleviate accidents and traffic jams. Instead, they proposed creating a new temporary cut using vacant land belonging to NHAI near the cloverleaf, connecting to the ring road. This measure could help prevent future accidents. Large directional indicators are also needed to guide drivers to the new cut and ring road route.</p>


<p>People are traveling from near and far to witness the site of the devastating accident that took place on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway on Friday.</p>

<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.

<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>The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) PCS preliminary examination concluded on Sunday. The exam was conducted peacefully across the state, however, the turnout was significantly low. Media reports suggest that only 42% of the registered candidates appeared for the exam. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPPSC PCS Prelims 2024: Registration Numbers</h2>



<p>A total of 5,76,154 candidates had registered for the preliminary examination. However, only 2,41,212 candidates appeared, representing approximately 42% of the registered candidates. The large-scale protests before the exam, with students demanding a single-day examination, are cited as a major reason for the low turnout.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPPSC: Other Contributing Factors</h2>



<p>Another possible reason for the low turnout is the distance of examination centres from candidates&#8217; residences. The commission allocated examination centres outside the candidates&#8217; districts. Female candidates were also assigned centres in different districts. Furthermore, a general lack of interest in the examination is also considered a contributing factor.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPPSC PCS Prelims Exam: Peaceful Conclusion</h2>



<p>The examination was conducted peacefully across the state. The commission implemented stringent security measures to prevent any malpractice. However, media reports indicate that a young man was caught cheating at an examination centre in Eta.</p>

: Melbourne Pitch Favors Pacers: Curator's Boxing Day Revelation


<p>The next clash in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia will be the Boxing Day Test, held in Melbourne from 26 to 30 December. Both teams are preparing intensely for this crucial match. Meanwhile, Matt Page, the curator of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), has revealed significant details about the pitch. He stated that a drop-in pitch will be used for the Boxing Day Test, which will be advantageous for all fast bowlers, including India&#8217;s Jasprit Bumrah. Let&#8217;s explore what else Page had to say about the Melbourne pitch.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grass Left on the Pitch</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s noteworthy that Bumrah is the highest wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Test series. The series is currently tied at 1-1, with Bumrah taking 21 wickets at an average of 10.9. </p>



<p>Page commented, &#8220;I think whenever fast bowlers come here now, they get excited, and that&#8217;s good for us.&#8221; In a press conference on Monday, Page added, &#8220;We&#8217;ll never be as fast as Perth or Brisbane, but we&#8217;ve managed to produce some quicker wickets in the last few years. A bit more grass has been left on this wicket.&#8221;</p>

</div>
</figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Six Millimetres of Grass on the Surface</h2>



<p>Page stated that the heat will not affect the pitch preparation for this crucial match, as six millimetres of grass will be left on the surface. &#8220;Whether we&#8217;ll leave a bit more moisture in it or not, I can&#8217;t say at the moment. We&#8217;ll keep an eye on the weather and adjust our preparation accordingly. We&#8217;ve been very happy with the last few years, so it&#8217;s a case of doing it again for us.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aiming for a More Exciting Test Match</h2>



<p>Commenting on the changing nature of the Melbourne pitch, Page said, &#8220;Seven years ago, we were quite flat. We sat down as an organisation and said we want to create more exciting contests, more exciting Test matches, so we leave more grass on it now.&#8221; He added, &#8220;It gives the bowlers a bit more, but they&#8217;re still good batting wickets after the new ball. Our aim is to give opportunities to bowlers at different points in the game, and also give opportunities to batsmen if they play well.&#8221;</p>

India-Pakistan clash to take place on this date in ICC Champions Trophy, PCB approves hybrid model under this condition


<p>The long-standing dispute regarding the Champions Trophy 2025 has finally been resolved. Cricket fans worldwide, including those in India and Pakistan, can look forward to witnessing a clash between these arch-rivals once again. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), hosts of the Champions Trophy 2025, has informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) that they have finalised Dubai, UAE, as a neutral venue for the tournament.</p>



<p>Notably, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had explicitly stated that the Indian team would not travel to Pakistan for the tournament. Following this, the PCB agreed to host the eight-team tournament under a hybrid model.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PCB and ECB Reach Agreement</h2>



<p>PCB chairman Mohsin Khan met with Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, head of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), on 21 December in Pakistan regarding the scheduling of the ICC Champions Trophy, and they reached an agreement. PCB spokesperson Amir Mir stated, &#8220;We have informed the ICC that the venue has been decided following a meeting between PCB chief Mohsin Khan and the chairman of the Emirates Cricket Board, Sheikh Mubarak Al Nahyan, in Pakistan on Sunday.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India&#8217;s Matches to be Played in Dubai</h2>



<p>Dubai will now host Team India&#8217;s three group-stage matches against Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. If the Indian team qualifies for the semi-finals and final, those matches will also be held in Dubai. The schedule for the Champions Trophy has also emerged, although official confirmation is yet to be released.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PCB Accepts Deal Under Certain Conditions</h2>



<p>Things accelerated after the PCB decided to accept the hybrid model on 19 December. The PCB only accepted this deal after the ICC granted Pakistan the hosting rights for the Women&#8217;s T20 World Cup 2028 and assured them that all India vs Pakistan matches would be played at neutral venues for the next four years.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India vs Pakistan Match Date</h2>



<p>Team India&#8217;s first match in the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played on 20 February against Bangladesh. Their second match will be against arch-rivals Pakistan on 23 February. India&#8217;s third match will be against New Zealand on 2 March. If India enters the knockout stages, their semi-final or final matches will also be played in Dubai.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Teams Divided into Two Groups</h2>



<p>The ICC has divided all eight teams into two groups for the Champions Trophy 2025. Group A includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Group B comprises Australia, Afghanistan, England, and South Africa.</p>

<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>

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>
