Pharmacist punished for leaving bag of drugs at fast-food outlet
A Winnipeg pharmacist has been disciplined and fined for giving an unmarked bag containing unlabelled prescription drugs to a restaurant employee, who was supposed to hold it for the patient. The College of Pharmacists of Manitoba placed Hajra Mirza on a 12-month suspension and fined her $20,000, plus $130,000 for the cost of its investigation into the case that dates back to 2019. The decision was released last week. In June 2019, the college received a police report that alleged Mirza left the drugs with an employee at a Dairy Queen to be retrieved by an associate of the patient. The decision said that around June 14, Mirza was contacted by a patient, whose name is redacted in the decision, regarding pain and fever-like symptoms following dental surgery. Mirza advised the patient to contact a nurse practitioner, who prescribed Tylenol #3 with codeine, naproxen and clindamycin. The prescriptions were faxed to the Rossmere Pharmacy on Henderson Highway, which Mirza part-owned at the time, but the pharmacy was closed. Mirza drove to the pharmacy, bottled the medication and left the unlabelled bottles of drugs with an employee at the nearby fast-food outlet. 'Failing to enter the prescriptions properly put patient safety at risk.'– excerpt from ruling by the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba When the individual came to pick up the drugs the DQ owners wouldn't hand them over and called police. 'Mirza returned to the DQ, and the police escorted her to the pharmacy, where the medications were labelled. The police then delivered the medications,' the decision said. The ruling doesn't explain why Mirza gave the drugs to a fast-food worker. The decision said Mirza's actions contravened several requirements, including ensuring all drugs are secured against theft, loss or diversion, that they are labelled correctly and that drugs not be dispensed unless a prescription record is made. 'Failing to enter the prescriptions properly put patient safety at risk. Mirza missed an allergy warning on… patient screen that (the patient) had previously had a negative reaction to clindamycin,' the decision said. Mirza was given a one-year suspension but was granted credit for 10 months, the length of time she had voluntarily surrendered her licence. The investigation found faults with Rossmere Pharmacy, including that patients files were stored in a public place and the narcotic safe was left wide open. The decision noted Mirza was disciplined in 2012 while working as a pharmacist in British Columbia. She was handed a 30-day licence suspension and fined $3,000 after the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia found she had prepared a 'fraudulent employment document' under the letterhead and purported signature of her current employer which she submitted to a prospective employer.

How many more deaths due to strays? HC slams cops, NMC over Kalamna child death
Nagpur: The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Monday came down hard on the city police and Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) for "consistent inaction" on stray dog attacks, following the tragic death of a boy who fell from a sixth-floor balcony in Kalamna while fleeing from a stray dog. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A visibly anguished division bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Manohar Nerlikar verbally asked pointedly, "How many times must we repeat ourselves?" while hearing a public interest litigation filed by activist Vijay Talewar. The PIL, filed in 2022, sought sustained action against the growing threat of stray dog attacks across Nagpur. Senior counsel Firdos Mirza, appearing for the petitioner, brought to the court's notice the recent fatal incident, in which the minor fell to his death, reported in the media. Mirza submitted that this was not an isolated case and warned that if authorities continued to ignore their legal duty, more lives would be lost. "Under the Mumbai Police Act, the police are duty-bound to prevent such public nuisances. But no concrete preventive mechanism seems to exist," he said. The court observed that its earlier directives dated October 20 and November 23, 2022, clearly laid out preventive actions, yet there was no evidence of implementation. The judges directed both the commissioner of police and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to file detailed affidavits on their compliance with previous court orders and list all actions taken to control the stray menace. Additional govt pleader Deepak Thakare represented the state while Ashwin Deshpande pleaded on behalf of intervenor Dhantoli Nagrik Mandal, and deputy solicitor general of India Nandesh Deshpande appeared for the central govt. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The NMC was also asked to specifically report on the availability of anti-rabies vaccines. While Mirza pointed out an ongoing shortage in the city, counsel for the NMC, Sudhir Puranik, countered that vaccines were available. The court directed that this discrepancy be clarified through an affidavit. "It is expected that both the commissioner of police and the municipal commissioner shall file affidavits on or before July 23," the court stated, scheduling the next hearing for July 25. The PIL names 15 respondents, including the state govt, police, civic authorities, and animal welfare boards. The court's strong observations come amid growing public outrage over the city's stray dog problem. With several attacks reported in recent months and limited visible action on sterilisation or containment, the judiciary has now made it clear that further lapses will not be tolerated.

Meet star who romance Aishwarya Rai, once challenged many stars, then lost all his money, cleaned toilets, drive taxis to earn money, name is....
The South cinema has given numerous seasoned actors to the audience. From Rajinikanth to Kamal Haasan, there have been various actors who not only won hearts in the South but also across the globe. Today, we will talk about one of those actors who was fondly called the heartthrob of the 1990s. He made his debut with Kadhal Desam, following which he delivered several superhits and established himself as a leading star. However, there is a saying that the faster you climb the ladder of success, the quicker you come down as well — and something similar happened with this actor. The man in discussion, after being hailed as a leading hero, was soon limited to supporting roles and cameos after some of his projects flopped. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then he is none other than Mirza Abbas Ali. Who is Actor Mirza Abbas Ali? Mirza Abbas Ali was born on May 21, 1975, and predominantly worked in Tamil and Telugu cinema, along with a few Malayalam and Hindi films. He featured in notable successful films including VIP (1997), Pooveli (1998), Jeans (1998), Padayappa (1999), Suyamvaram (1999), Malabar Police (1999), and Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). However, there was a time when Mirza faced both highs and lows. In an interview, the actor revealed that, devastated after failing his Class 10 exams and being dumped by his girlfriend, he contemplated ending his life. However, he chose not to and gave himself a second chance. After deciding to start fresh, Mirza tried his luck in the world of cinema and did find success. He became an overnight star. There was a time when he worked with actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Tabu, and more. Sadly, he then vanished from the industry. Mirza Abbas Ali faced bankruptcy not once or twice, but four times, forcing him to work as a taxi driver and clean toilets to make ends meet. In an interview, Abbas said, 'Following my initial achievements, some of my movies faced failure, leaving me financially destitute and unable to afford even basic necessities like rent or cigarettes. I soon approached producer RB Choudary, requesting work. He offered me the opportunity to be part of the film Pooveli. However, I eventually left films because I got bored. I wasn't enjoying my work.' After 2015, Mirza Abbas Ali eventually left acting and relocated to New Zealand.

Punjabi Hitmaker Jai Dhir And Yoki Drop Dreamy New Single ‘Velvet Sky'
Last Updated: Jai Dhir drops Velvet Sky with Yoki, a soulful Punjabi pop love song blending deep house and drill, capturing the magic of unspoken emotions. Punjabi pop sensation Jai Dhir has returned with his third original single of the year, Velvet Sky, in collaboration with producer Yoki. Following the success of previous tracks like Sidekick, Leja, and Mirza, Jai continues to expand his vibrant discography with a romantic offering that fuses dreamy melodies with contemporary beats. Velvet Sky is a soft yet energizing Punjabi pop love song that paints an atmospheric narrative of unspoken emotions. Jai Dhir, known for his emotive storytelling and fusion of Punjabi, R&B, and pop sounds, described the song as deeply personal. 'This song came straight from the heart. It is a dreamy love song about feeling a deep, unspoken connection with someone special, and captures the quiet emotions of admiring someone from a distance, like a late-night drive filled with unsaid feelings," he said. 'I just wanted to keep it real and dreamy—something that feels like you're floating in a feeling. The lyrics and melody just flowed, and it all felt too natural. It's one of those songs where every word means something. I hope people connect with the vibe as much as I did while creating it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jai Dhir (@jaidhir) Adding a fresh sonic layer to Jai's vision, Yoki's production weaves deep house with punchy drill elements to create a lush soundscape. Speaking about the process, Yoki shared, 'I had a blast producing this one. I wanted to mix that chill deep house vibe with some punchy drill elements—something that hits but still lets the emotion breathe. It's got that balance of groove and mood, which I really love. The moment I recorded the raw vocals, I knew exactly where I wanted to take the sound. Super proud of how it turned out within two sessions." Since launching his career at 19, Jai Dhir has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young voices in India's indie music landscape. Hailing from New Delhi, the 24-year-old artist has carved out a niche with his genre-blending approach. From viral hits like Leja, featured in Netflix's Mismatched Season 2, to Mirza, which racked up over 200 million streams as part of Instagram's 1 Minute Music, Jai's catalogue is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. His collaboration with Pritam on the Punjabi version of Kesariya, officially released by Sony Music India, further solidified his rising star status. With Velvet Sky, Jai Dhir continues to enchant fans with music that is heartfelt and modern, rooted in emotion but elevated by global production styles. The track is now streaming on all major platforms and is already making waves for its lush vibe and poetic storytelling. As he continues to push boundaries and redefine the Punjabi pop genre, Jai Dhir's musical journey shows no signs of slowing down. If Velvet Sky is any indication, he's only getting started.
