New Delhi, Mar 7: Despite Smriti Irani's claims that she had helped the victims of a pile-up at Yamuna Expressway last week, the daughter of a doctor killed in the accident today contradicted the Union minister's version of the story.

smrithi"Smriti Irani's convoy rammed into our car. She came out. I begged her for help but she left," Dr Ramesh Nagar's daughter Sandili said.

Sandili's brother, Abhishek, also backed that allegation. "My sister literally pleaded with folded hands to Smriti Irani for help, but she did not stop," he said.

The statements by the two survivors of the tragedy contradict Irani's claims made through a series of tweets of helping the victims. "Tried to help the injured who were lying on the road for quiet sometime and ensured they reach a hospital. Pray for their safety," she had tweeted late on Saturday night.

"There was a pile up of vehicles due to an accident on the expressway. Unfortunately the police vehicle before mine & my car also crashed," she narrated the incident, assuring her well-wishers that she was unhurt.

"For all enquiring re my accident- I'm fine. Thank you for the concern and wishes," she said.

Irani, along with other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, was returning to New Delhi from a meeting of the party's youth wing in Uttar Pradesh's Vrindavan town near Mathura.

I fear the honest indians who vote such politicians to think before YOU give your valuable votes.. Almost most of the Sanghi leaders are openly Lying to the PUBLIC without hesitation and YOU expect them to SAVE U ... Its impossible..if they are involved in continues LIES then dont expect them to be saviour of your religion... NOTE this and dont fall trap to their Crocodile cry for religious sentiments... its only FEKU ... There is a evil agenda of Sangha to bring back DEVADASIS and SATI and rule over U.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.

Bengaluru, Jul 9: Bringing to the fore the dangers frontline workers face in combating the deadly coronavirus, 395 policemen have tested positive for the infection since the outbreak of the pandemic in Bengaluru. This includes five deaths, Inspector General of Police and Additional Commissioner of Police (Administration) Hemant Nimbalkar told media persons.

He said as of Thursday, 190 have been cured while 200 are under treatment. Twenty police stations have been sealed, he added.

He claimed the Bengaluru police has suffered the most compared to any department, organisation or institution because the force is deployed in the field and dealing with the situation.

The infection among police is highest despite training being given to them on how to protect themselves from the coronavirus.

According to him, every morning duty charter is given to the police personnel where they are told how to avoid getting the infection and handle the situation if they find symptoms of coronavirus.

"Despite taking all the precautions, infection in our department is high because we are the ones who are on the road.

We are meeting hundreds of people whom we don't know, whether they are Covid infected or not," Nimbalkar said.

Along with the policemen, their families too are at risk of contracting the virus.

An assistant sub-inspector at VV Puram police station was the first casualty in the Bengaluru police on June 13.

A heart patient, who was on leave due to ill health, he collapsed at home and died.
