4 persons detected with Guillain-Barre Syndrome in MP's Mandsaur: Official
Four persons have been diagnosed with the Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a rare immunological nerve disorder, at a village in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district, an official said on Thursday. Some (suspected) cases of GBS have been reported in Multanpura village, but their number is still less, Mandsaur Collector Aditi Garg told PTI Videos. "A total of seven such cases have been reported, and the infection has been confirmed in four of them," she said. After the confirmation of GBS, investigation and survey teams have been deployed in Multanpura. They were going door-to-door to find out if anyone else was suffering from the disease, she said. GBS is a rare neurological condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. Though it is uncommon, it can affect anyone and usually occurs after infection. Early identification of GBS symptoms and timely treatment are crucial for recovery. Garg said they have got information that some patients suffering from GBS were taking treatment outside Mandsaur in Ahmedabad and Indore. The medical records of such patients were also being examined to find out how they contracted the disease, she said. Dr Shubham Silawat, in-charge of the district hospital and the survey, said a person suffering from GBS may have initial symptoms like diarrhoea, fever, muscle weakness and tingling. Earlier this year, nearly 200 cases of GBS were reported from parts of Maharashtra's Pune district as well as a few in other places, including Mumbai.

Youth gets 20-year rigorous imprisonment for raping minor
1 2 New Delhi: Children are a "supremely important national asset" and the future well-being of the nation depends on how they grow and develop, a court observed while sentencing a 24-year-old man to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a 12-year-old girl in 2020. The court of additional sessions judge Aditi Garg said on July 30 that the importance of children for a nation's well-being "has been time and again emphasised in legislation, international declarations as well as judicial pronouncements". The court was hearing the sentencing argument in the case of Karan, who was convicted by the same court on July 9 for the offences of rape, kidnapping and Section 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of Pocso Act 2012. The court rejected the convict's plea for leniency, citing the nature of the offence.

The judge also directed a compensation of Rs 5 lakh for the survivor. She asserted that the concept of welfare and well-being of children was basic for any civilised society and this had a direct bearing on the state of health and well-being of the entire community, its growth and development. The court said that during interaction with the girl and her parents on compensation, it was informed that the survivor got married and now lived with her in-laws. However, they reiterated that she suffered a lot at the hand of the convict, the judge said. Considering the offence and the tender age of the survivor, the family's financial condition, the type of abuse and the severity of the physical and mental trauma that she underwent, the court ordered the compensation through the victim compensation scheme for her relief and rehabilitation.
