Madras HC suspends one-month prison sentence of senior IAS officer
CHENNAI: A division bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday suspended the one-month simple imprisonment imposed on IAS officer Anshul Mishra by a single judge last month after finding him guilty of contempt of court. The bench comprising justices MS Ramesh and V Lakshminarayanan passed the interim orders on the appeal, filed by Mishra, challenging his conviction. It can be recalled that the single judge himself had suspended the sentencing for a month to provide time for the officer to prefer an appeal. The division bench on Thursday directed Mishra to deposit Rs 25,000 within three weeks and adjourned the next hearing on the appeal petition to July 21. The single judge found the officer guilty of contempt on finding that its order, issued in November 2023 to consider the petitions of two elderly siblings, was not complied with by Mishra in his capacity as the member secretary of Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. The siblings had been fighting for long to retrieve a small portion of their land that was acquired by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board but was not utilised.

Indore: Indore continues to witness a surge in Covid-19 infections, with four new cases reported on Monday, bringing the total number of active cases in the district to 32. According to District Epidemiologist Dr Anshul Mishra, all four new patients are male residents of Indore, aged 30, 32, 48, and 57 years. They have no recent travel history, are currently stable, and are undergoing home isolation. Dr Mishra noted that most patients are presenting with mild symptoms. So far in the current calendar year, Indore reported two Covid-19 related fatalities. The first was a 74-year-old woman from Indore who passed away approximately one and a half months ago while receiving treatment at a private hospital. The second was a 44-year-old woman from Khargone, who delivered a baby a few days prior at MTH Hospital and tragically died on Friday during treatment at MRTB Hospital after testing positive for Covid-19. Dr Mishra stated that samples for suspected cases are currently collected at MRTB Hospital until 2 PM, with testing conducted at MGM Medical College's lab. For the remaining hours, or if doctors at MRTB Hospital do not classify a case as 'suspected,' individuals must rely on private labs and hospitals for diagnosis. This highlights that Indore's govt healthcare infrastructure remains under-equipped for basic public diagnostic access. TNN

Khargone woman tests Covid positive post delivery, dies
Indore: A 44-year-old woman from Khargone, who recently gave birth at MTH Hospital, tragically died at MRTB Hospital from intrapartum seizures after testing positive for Covid-19 on Friday. She delivered a healthy baby boy weighing 3.1 kg on May 28, but, succumbed just eight days later. This unfortunate death marks the second Covid-related fatality in Madhya Pradesh amid the current surge in cases. Previously, a 74-year-old woman from Indore, who was also Covid-19 positive, passed away while undergoing treatment for renal failure at Aurobindo Hospital. Indore district epidemiologist Dr Anshul Mishra said, "It's the second death of patients, who tested positive for Covid-19, reported in Indore. The 74-year-old woman was a resident of Indore, while the 44-year-old woman belonged to Khargone." Khargone CMHO Dr ML Sisodiya said, "We have got details of the woman. Her family members will be approached and examined. If any symptoms of Covid-19 are found among them, they will be tested and given the required treatment." Following her delivery, the woman's health rapidly deteriorated. An RT-PCR test on June 5 confirmed that she was Covid-19 positive, leading to her transfer to the isolation ward at MRTB Hospital, senior professor (gynaecology) Dr Sumitra Yadav said. Despite immediate medical intervention, her condition worsened, and she was declared dead at 3:50am the next morning. Dr Yadav explained that the woman suffered a convulsion on the operation table immediately after her delivery. "She experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Urgent intubation was done," Dr Yadav stated. The patient was diagnosed with placenta previa, a serious pregnancy condition. Compounding her condition were a history of two previous caesarean sections, a transverse lie (abnormal fetal position), and polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). Due to these complications, the delivery was performed via lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). She was also a known case of hypothyroidism. Following her surgery, the patient was moved to the ICU on May 28 at 10:15am. Her condition remained critical, and it further worsened after she tested positive for Covid-19, leading to her transfer to MRTB Hospital's isolation ward where she died, Dr Yadav said. The total number of Covid-19 cases reported in Indore has reached 50 so far including nine patients from other districts. Health officials have confirmed there 26 active cases in the city at present.

Senior IAS officer Anshul Mishra to go on central deputation to AIIMS Delhi
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu cadre senior IAS officer Anshul Mishra will be going on central deputation as an Additional Director (Administration) at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, as per an order of the Appointments Committee of the Union Cabinet dated May 28. His transfer to Delhi comes close on the heels of the Madras High Court finding him guilty of contempt of court last week. The court ordered him to undergo simple imprisonment for one month and pay a compensation of Rs 25,000 to two elderly siblings, the petitioners in the case, who were trying to retrieve their property acquired by the government years ago but was not used. The court found that Mishra, who held the post of member secretary of Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) for around 4.5 years, did not act on the siblings' petition within the time set by it in 2023. He was transferred out of CMDA and posted as managing director of Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board in February.
