Chandigarh: Youth attacked by pet German Shepherd in Sector 21
A 23-year-old man was attacked by a pet German Shephard outside House Number 230 in Sector 21-A on Thursday evening. The victim, Kartik Gandhi, a resident of Dera Bassi, sustained multiple injuries after being bitten several times by the dog, allegedly unleashed by its owner. According to the complaint filed by Gandhi at the Sector-19 police station, he had parked his car near the residence of the dog owner while visiting his office in the vicinity. After concluding his work around 6.30 pm, he returned to his vehicle accompanied by a friend, Abhimanyu Bisnoi, when the dog was reportedly let loose by its female owner. The dog is said to have charged at both men. While Bisnoi managed to escape, Gandhi was bitten on both his wrists, ankle and right hip. The complainant alleged that even as the attack unfolded, the dog owner, a security guard and another individual stood by and watched. He further stated that the guard mocked him, threatened him with further consequences, and asked him to 'park the car again near their house' in a menacing tone. Gandhi was rushed to GMSH, Sector 16, and subsequently to City Hospital in Sector 8-C due to increasing pain and semi-consciousness. On Gandhi's complaint, police lodged an FIR under Sections 291 and 351(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.

What's happening to major Birmingham hospital site six months after closure
When Birmingham's City Hospital closed its doors for the final time last November, some feared it would bring an end to 130 years of operations at the major hospital site. All emergency and acute services from City Hospital were transferred to the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Smethwick, dubbed the £1bn 'super hospital', and the last in-patient, Trust doctor Dr Pankaj Kumar, was wheeled out to an applause in November 2024. Motorists passing by the Dudley Road health landmark now are greeted with an empty car park and signs saying the hospital is closed - but there is still activity at the site, despite parts of it being earmarked for housing. READ MORE: How Birmingham's City Hospital site could be transformed into 'vibrant' new community Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp , click the link to join Six months on from City Hospital closing, we asked Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust what exactly is happening with the site and if patients in Birmingham can still expect to use it. The answer in short is yes - a number of outpatient services continue to run behind the now defunct A&E site. The site and its remaining operations were renamed the City Health Campus last year - and can be used for select, non-urgent treatment. Housing plans still look to go ahead, but the city's sick can still access help at the site, which opened as an infirmary in 1897 as an extension to the workhouse. As for the future, the site has outline planning permission for 750 homes, including the conversion of the historic infirmary frontage into apartments. A detailed planning application with the specifics of the development is expected this year. CGIs released in January offer a glimpse of how the former City Hospital site could be transformed into a 'vibrant' new community, with artist impressions show wildflower patches and green parks in front of apartments with balconies. Back in January, Developer Vistry Group said it had exchanged contracts with Homes England, the government's housing agency, to deliver the regeneration. Read more on those plans, here. Residents previously using A&E at City Hospital are now sent to the Midland Metropolitan site if they have life-threatening conditions which require emergency care. However, some operations remain at the old City Hospital site, and those who are first sent to Midlands Metropolitan A&E might find themselves receiving aftercare at what is now the City Health campus. You can use the City Health Campus, which housed the former City Hospital, for the following: The site will continue to operate outpatient appointments and short stay surgery at the Birmingham Treatment Centre Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre will deliver inpatient, outpatient and surgical services at the site The Sheldon Block building will house rehabilitation, therapy services and community medicine Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust told us that some services are unaffected by planned development. A spokesperson from Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust told BirminghamLive: 'City Health Campus offers a range of outpatient appointments, day case surgery, diagnostic services including the audiology department and community rehabilitation services. "Also remaining on the site is the Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre. These services are unaffected by the redevelopment of the former City Hospital buildings. "The accident and emergency department, maternity services and inpatient wards which were once based at City Hospital have since been relocated to the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital.

Alliance Party councillor Michael Long said there is widespread support for the initiative."The 'great and the good' have been marked in a lot of ways right across the city, but the average normal person hasn't really had a look in," he told BBC News NI."The fact that we have a cemetery that has up to 60,000 people buried there, and it has just been forgotten about, is really hard to believe."A commemorative plaque is being considered, as well as an education project about the site. 'They all had names' Dr Atcheson, an historian based at Queen's University Belfast, believes a plaque should be personal as well as respectful."It should state that this was the workhouse burial ground, these were the poorest people in society. They all had names. These are Belfast people and they deserve to be marked in some way," she said."This is something that is long overdue and it's something that we should have done a long time ago as a city, to acknowledge this part of our story." Tom Hartley, who has now retired from politics and writes books about cemeteries in Belfast, has welcomed the council's plan to mark the Donegall Road graves."Their lives are part of the fabric of the Belfast narrative," he discussions continue over the plans, an official ceremony to mark the burial site may take place in the autumn.A plaque is likely to be placed on a small section of wall that still exists from the original 19th century cemetery site.
