A yr on, 310-bed Rims shelter home battles operational challenges
1 2 Ranchi: The shelter home (Vishram Sadan) of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (Rims), built to offer affordable accommodation to attendants and relatives of patients, is grappling with operational challenges. The facility was projected to benefit around 90,000 people annually. But only 62 beds on the first floor is on offer against the structure's capacity to accommodate 310 people. The Power Grid Corporation of India began constructing the ground-plus-five floors' structure with a basement on a 5,034sq mt plot in 2019 and handed it over to Rims in July last year. The land acquisition cost Rs 17.82 crore. A total of 217 people availed the facility in January, 184 in February, 261 in March, 244 in April, 218 in May, and 164 till June 18. The public relations officer (PRO) of Rims, Dr Rajeev Kumar, said, "The aim is to ensure dignified and affordable accommodation to the attendants, especially from rural and remote areas. The shelter home is being operated internally by Rims owing to the lack of effective management and delay in onboarding an external agency." Rims had floated a tender for hiring a private agency to manage the facility in January 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo But the attempt failed as as those who applied did not meet the eligibility criteria. The hospital authorities reissued the expression of interest (EOI) last Monday, hoping to find a capable agency to take over operations. "Hospital authortities aim to ensure proper healthcare management. Hence, there is a need for a dedicated agency to run the accommodation properly," said a source. Accommodation is available at a subsidised cost of Rs 100 per day for families presenting an OPD or IPD slip, with payment accepted at any Rims cash counter. An amount of Rs 150 is charged per day from those staying beyond seven days. Dr Rajeev said, "Posters have been put up at multiple points of the hospital to generate awareness about the available accommodation among the patients and their family members." "We came from Simdega for my wife's treatment and had no idea that such a facility existed. We ended up paying over Rs 700 per day for a lodge nearby. If we had known earlier, we could have saved a lot," said Lakhiram Oraon, an attendant waiting outside the hospital ward. Rims would manage the shelter till an agency is finalised. One person has been assigned the task of a caretaker of the shelter home while a few take care of day-to-day maintenance, sources said.

‘I swam towards it': Friend's emotional search for missing influencer
He added that the car windows were open and the doors unlocked, but murky water made it difficult to tell if Ija was inside. Mohammad Syahmi shows a photo of Tengku Nizaruddin who is feared missing. MUAR - A desperate friend swam through murky waters to inspect a sunken car, only to confirm it belonged to missing influencer Ija Nizaruddin, intensifying efforts to locate him in Sungai Tui, Muar. Muhammad Syahmi Mansur, 30, who has been close to Ija for years, recounted the moment he and several friends sprang into action after learning about Ija's disappearance on Monday night. "We were told his car had gone missing, so that same night, nine friends and I searched for Ija based on the last known GPS location provided by his wife," he said. Their night-long search stretched as far as Muar, but to no avail. It was not until the next day that a clue emerged. 'Coincidentally, a Rela officer told us they spotted a car in the river. When I took a closer look, I swam straight towards it. 'I saw the car accessory shop sticker belonging to Ija on the rear window and I was certain it was his car,' Syahmi said. He added that the car windows were open and the doors unlocked, but murky water made it difficult to tell if Ija was inside. 'I tried diving and felt like there was something when I extended my foot, but I was not sure. I immediately informed the police and the fire department came to inspect,' he shared. Search and rescue operations at Sungai Tui involve both police and fire department personnel. According to Syahmi, Ija had planned to drop off his car at a friend's workshop in Muar before visiting his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, in Bukit Kepong. Syahmi also mentioned that Ija never had enemies. 'We have known each other for a long time, through thick and thin. Ija was always a very positive person. 'The last time I saw Ija was the previous Sunday and that night we managed to talk about shirts over the phone,' he said. Syahmi hopes for Ija's safe discovery and prays the authorities find new leads. Pagoh Fire and Rescue Station Operation Commander, Nor Alfatah Omar, confirmed his team responded to a call on Tuesday and found a Perodua Axia submerged in roughly two metres of river water. Meanwhile, Muar District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz, confirmed that a full search and rescue (SAR) operation is underway. 'Police urge members of the public with any information related to the incident to come forward or contact the Muar District Police Headquarters (IPD) to assist in the investigation,' he said.
