After ambulance delay, woman delivers stillborn
Palghar: After a 24-year-old woman gave birth to a stillborn girl child in a Nashik hospital on June 11 night, her husband had to carry the infant's body in a bag (thaili) from Nashik to his village in Mokhada (a distance of around 70kms) to bury it.
The family also alleged the loss of pregnancy was due to the delay in the arrival of ambulance and lack of tertiary medical facilities at their disposal.
The family claimed the mother, Avita Sakharam Kavar, was in pain since early morning June 11, and had called asha workers for help, who in turn called the ambulance services, but in vain. Later, a private vehicle was arranged by asha workers and Avita was taken to the Khodala primary health centre (PHC) but was immediately referred to Mokhada rural hospital as heart beats of the baby couldn't be found.
At Mokhada, the baby was declared dead, and since Ankita had high fever and Mokhada rural hospital didn't have any tertiary facilities, she was again referred to Nashik civil hospital, where she was operated on and the stillborn was handed over to the couple.
Since the couple couldn't afford an ambulance, Sakharam (Avita's husband) carried the dead infant in a bag to their village in Jogalwadi, Mokhada taluka, in a bus.

The baby was later buried in the village. Both the husband and wife work as labourers in a brick kiln in Ambernath.
The family also claimed that on both the occasions, from home to Khodala and from Khodala to Mokhada rural hospital, the ambulance took hours to arrive.
Santosh Chaudhari, a medical officer with Palghar district, said the woman came to Jogalwadi village in the month of March, checked by asha workers and found to be normal. He also confirmed that since there were no tertiary treatment facilities at the Mokhada rural hospital and for the patient's well-being, it was important that she be sent to a tertiary hospital, and hence she was further referred to a Nashik hospital.

Stuck in bed after work? You might be in ‘functional freeze'. Here is how to get over it
After clocking out of work and ticking off your to‑do list, you might expect a sense of relief. Instead, you find yourself glued to your bed, doom‑scrolling aimlessly and unable to face simple tasks. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing what movement expert Liz Tenuto calls 'functional freeze,' a stress‑induced shutdown of mind and body that leaves high‑achievers immobilized the moment they stop pressing forward. When Success Leads to Shutdown In a recent interview with CNBC Make It , Tenuto—better known online as 'The Workout Witch'—explained that functional freeze is a form of the body's natural freeze response, triggered by chronic overwhelm rather than immediate danger. 'A lot of women get all of their tasks done during the day,' she said, 'then when they get home and finish everything, they completely crash and have a hard time getting out of bed.' Despite outward success, those in this state may feel emotionally numb, dissociated, or trapped in endless hours of passive screen time. The Hidden Signs of a Freeze People in functional freeze often mask their distress with productivity, only to find themselves incapacitated afterward. They might struggle to cry or feel social, wrestle with unexplained aches or gut issues, and lean on alcohol or online distractions to numb the emptiness. Even routine household chores can feel insurmountable, as decision‑making grinds to a halt and the simplest actions require Herculean effort. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tan Dinh: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Thawing Out: Movement as Medicine iStock Breathwork, yoga, or simply a twenty‑minute stroll around your neighborhood can also prompt emotional processing and help reset your nervous system. (Representational Image: iStock) Tenuto, who holds a degree in psychology and trains clients in somatic therapy , argues that the antidote to functional freeze is not more rest but carefully calibrated motion. 'Movement is the best way to come out of freeze,' she said, cautioning against jumping into intense workouts that your exhausted body can't sustain. Instead, she recommends somatic exercises—slow, mindful movements such as gentle ear pulls that stimulate the vagus nerve, or subtle rocking on each side of the body to release tension and restore energy.

One practice Tenuto demonstrates on TikTok involves slowly turning the head while holding the chin, a micro‑movement that can reduce anxiety and encourage your mind to reengage with the world. Why Sitting Still Can Backfire Despite the allure of sinking deeper into the covers, Tenuto warns that further immobility can actually reinforce the freeze response. 'Relaxing more and not moving at all can exacerbate functional freeze,' she told. The key, she insists, is gentle but consistent action—tiny steps that remind your body it is safe to thaw and rejoin the flow of daily life. If you find yourself paralyzed by exhaustion and stress each evening, consider that your body may be signaling a deeper need for mindful movement rather than more rest. Embracing somatic techniques could be the very thing that frees you to tackle tomorrow's chores—one micro‑movement at a time. You Might Also Like: Feeling lethargic and sleepy?

Subhash Park's trees save Kochi lakhs a year, finds Cusat study
Kochi: The 339 trees at Subhash Bose Park in the heart of Kochi, play a crucial role in improving air quality by removing nearly 124.8kg of air pollutants annually. Without these trees, residents would require air purifiers in at least 150 homes, according to a recent study. While air purifiers can remove allergens, dust, pollen, smoke, and other pollutants, they are expensive and require regular maintenance — unlike trees, which provide long-term environmental benefits for ages. The study, titled "A Comprehensive Study of Subhash Park and Projected Benefits for Queen's Way Urban Expansion," was conducted by the School of Environmental Studies at Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) in collaboration with the Nansen (India). It stresses the importance of enhancing green cover in the few remaining open spaces in Kochi. The study quantifies the many environmental benefits trees offer, including air purification, carbon sequestration, stormwater mitigation, energy savings, and health cost reduction. According to the findings, residents in and around the park can save nearly Rs 3.74 lakh annually in healthcare costs due to improved air quality and lower exposure to pollutants. The study also highlights how trees mitigate the urban heat island effect by cooling the surrounding area. This cooling reduces the energy needed for indoor air conditioning in nearby buildings, especially during summer months. The park's canopy helps nearby buildings save about 13,400 kWh of electricity annually by lowering indoor temperatures. In addition, the park's dense tree cover acts as a natural barrier during heavy rainfall, reducing runoff and helping prevent urban flooding. This benefit translates to savings of nearly Rs 1.80 lakh per year in drainage infrastructure costs for the local authorities. "Given the multifaceted benefits, including public health, carbon sequestration, flood risk mitigation and groundwater recharge as pointed out in the study, urban planners must prioritise the integration of green cover in high-risk zones like hospitals, clinics, and schools. Green corridors and trees in these zones can strengthen health resilience, especially in climate-vulnerable regions like Kochi, which is facing intense heat in summer and flooding in monsoon," said Sravan Shaji, the author of the study. Dr Giby Kuriakose, assistant professor of Botany department in SH college Thevara said trees play multiple roles for ecosystem. "Trees reduce pollutants and there are a lot of native species the leaves of which even traps dust in the air. In the case of Subash Park, authorities can utilise it to raise native species to create awareness on it." The study was conducted jointly by Sravan Shaji of Cusat and Dr Bindu G of Nansen Environmental Research Centre. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
