Multiple Unidentified Deaths Suspected Due to Heatstroke and Starvation A severe heatwave gripping Nagpur and the Vidarbha region has led to multiple suspected deaths linked to heatstroke and starvation, as temperatures soared past 47°C. The crisis has intensified during the traditional "Nautapa" period, known for its extreme summer conditions. Nagpur recorded a staggering 46.5°C on Monday, placing it among the hottest cities globally. With nighttime temperatures offering little relief, authorities are investigating a series of deaths over the past few days. Five unidentified men, aged between 33 and 55, were found dead in different areas of the city, including Kapilnagar, Wathoda, Pachpaoli, Imamwada, and Hudkeshwar. The deceased were either homeless or associated with the Government Beggars' Reception Centre. They were discovered unconscious in gardens, near roadsides, and in open spaces, often wearing minimal clothing to cope with the oppressive heat. Doctors at Mayo Hospital confirmed their deaths upon arrival, though autopsy reports are pending. Authorities suspect prolonged exposure to extreme heat, dehydration, and starvation contributed to the fatalities. Police have circulated descriptions of the victims to identify them, while health officials emphasize the dangers of the current weather conditions. The incident has sparked concerns about the vulnerability of homeless populations and those without access to adequate shelter or resources. The heatwave has also disrupted daily life, with residents struggling to cope in the sweltering temperatures. Local authorities are urging people to take precautions, such as staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged outdoor activity, and seeking shelter during peak heat hours.#nagpur #mayo_hospital #vidarbha_region #nautapa_period #government_beggars_reception_centre
Census Worker, NMC Staff Among 3 Bitten by Dog in Sadar A woman conducting a door-to-door census survey, an NMC dog-catching van driver, and a local resident were bitten by a stray dog in Sadar, Nagpur, on Wednesday, sparking concerns over inadequate pet regulation, emergency preparedness, and the safety of frontline workers. The incident escalated into a chaotic situation when the civic team sent to capture the dog also became targets of the animal’s aggression, further complicating the response. Authorities faced additional challenges when anti-rabies vaccines were reportedly unavailable at Mayo Hospital, forcing the injured census worker to be transferred to a private facility. The incident unfolded when Charli, a teacher affiliated with a private school in Seminary Hills, was conducting Census 2027 work in Mount Road, Sadar Basti. According to Dharampeth zone assistant commissioner Rajkumar Meshram, the dog suddenly emerged from a house and attacked Charli. A neighbor who rushed to assist her was also bitten. Meshram explained that the injured woman was initially taken to Mayo Hospital, but due to the unavailability of anti-rabies vaccines there, she was relocated to a private hospital. The situation worsened when the NMC’s dog-catching team arrived. Roshan Mallik, the driver of the capture van, was bitten when the dog turned aggressive during the operation. Officials admitted that the team lacked a capture net, which hindered their ability to restrain the animal. Despite these challenges, the dog was eventually captured and transported to Bhandewadi rescue centre for observation. Medical superintendent of Mayo Hospital, Dr Nitin Shinde, clarified that anti-rabies vaccines and serum are available at the hospital.#mayo_hospital #nmc #census_worker #sadarcity #charli

Add child’s name to birth certificate by Apr 27: NMC The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has issued a public notice urging citizens to register their children’s names in existing birth records before the extended deadline of April 27. Under Section 14 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, and Rule 10 of the Maharashtra Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 2000, a child’s name can typically be added to the birth register within 15 years of birth. However, many citizens have approached the civic body even after this period, facing challenges as the rules did not permit such additions. Following a directive from the central government in 2021, a special relaxation of five years was granted, allowing the inclusion of names even beyond the 15-year limit. The Maharashtra government later issued a notification on April 28, 2021, extending the deadline for such cases up to April 27, 2026. NMC officials now appeal to citizens whose birth records already exist but whose children’s names have not been entered to complete the process before the deadline, regardless of their age. Applicants must submit documents such as school leaving certificates, SSC mark sheets, or other valid proof to verify their claims. The date of birth in these documents must match the date recorded in the birth register. Officials clarified that once a name has been registered, it cannot be completely altered under the Act. Birth and death certificates for cases reported in government hospitals like Mayo, Medical, and Daga since July 2023 will only be issued from the respective hospitals. Citizens have also been warned against approaching agents or middlemen for registration work, as the department will not be held responsible for fraud or fake certificates.#maharashtra_government #mayo_hospital #nagpur_municipal_corporation #medical_hospital #daga_hospital

A young doctor from Mayo Hospital in Nagpur was robbed of his gold chain by two assailants during a road accident, but police swiftly solved the case within three days. The incident occurred near Lotus Chowk in Ganeshpeth police station limits on March 8, when Dr. Kaustubh Kale (25) fell off his bike after crossing the Empress City Gate to Lotus Chowk area. As he lay injured with a head wound, two helmet-less individuals on a black motorcycle snatched his 20-gram gold chain and fled. Dr. Kale managed to reach Mayo Hospital for first aid and later filed a complaint at Ganeshpeth police station, where a case was registered the same day. Police sub-inspector Vijendra Nachan and his team, including assistant sub-inspector Sameer Shaikh, conducted an extensive investigation by analyzing over 100 CCTV cameras along the route and nearby areas. They also relied on informants to track the suspects. The breakthrough came when the prime suspect, Rajesh alias Babya Uike (23), a resident of Nandanvan, was identified along with his minor associate. On March 11, police conducted searches and located the duo, recovering the stolen gold chain, valued at Rs2,40,000, along with two mobile phones and a motorcycle used in the crime. The operation was supervised by DCP Rahul Madane, senior police inspector Atul Tawade, and police inspector (Crime) Pandurang Jadhav. Authorities are now investigating whether the suspects were involved in other chain-snatching incidents reported in Nagpur. The gold chain will be handed over to Dr. Kale after legal formalities are completed. The case highlights the police's efficiency in resolving crimes despite the challenges posed by the incident's circumstances.#mayo_hospital #ganeshpeth_police_station #dr_kaustubh_kale #rajesh_alias_babya_uike #dcprahul_madane
