Raipur, Apr 3: In what Chhattisgarh doctors claimed to be the first case in India, a woman gave birth to Quintuplets (five babies at once), that too in just six months of pregnancy.

Chhattisgarh

All the pre-mature baby girls who were born at district hospital in Ambikapur on Saturday morning have been kept in Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of their low-birth weight.

The hospital staff called them "five star" babies and rightly so because they are probably the "most premature" quintuplets babies born in India so far. The proud parents, 25-year-old Manita Kumari and her husband Mahesh are happy to have five baby girls and are praying for each child to remain alive.

Manita is a house-wife and had lost her first pre-mature child after three months of her birth in 2014.

The babies born through normal delivery, around 10 am on Saturday, are so tiny that they could fit in single tray. Even being the pre-mature quintuplets, all the body parts of the new born are fully developed. For the record, a foetus's lungs, brain and eyes are hardly fully developed in the fifth month or the second trimester. The one with the lowest weight among the five is of 1 kg while the heaviest is of 1.5 kg.

"Our gynaecologist's observation says that the babies are premature and took birth in between six to seven months of pregnancy. They all have very low birth weight (LBW) and the survival of such LBW children in the best of hospitals is abysmally low," said Dr NP Pandey, chief superintendent of Ambikapur district hospital.

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the  instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.

Bengaluru, Jan 13: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday held a protest march at Ramnagar district’s 
Kapalabetta under the aegis of Hindu Jagran Vedike’s ‘Kanakapura Chalo’ campaign against the construction of the world’s largest Jesus statue there.

Hundreds of protesters of the Vedike staged a protest march in the city starting from the Kanakapura Ayyappaswamy temple.

“We are not here to disturb the peace. We have met each other at the wedding of Sriramulu’s daughter. So you know who I am, DK Shivakumar. How long will you continue with these lies? Is the intention behind the statue of Jesus to solidify your vote bank? Build the statue in America or England, we will not allow it here,” said the RSS leader as the keynote speaker at the rally.
