Girl dies, one hurt as school balcony collapses in Udaipur

Udaipur: In a grim reminder of the Jhalawar school tragedy, a 12-year-old girl died and another was injured when a balcony of the under-renovation PM Shree Govt Higher Primary School in Patharwadi village near Kotra in Udaipur district, collapsed on Independence Day, Friday. Earlier, on July 25, seven school children had died and several others were injured when a classroom roof and wall of a govt school collapsed due to rains at Piplodi village in Jhalawar district. In the latest mishap at Udaipur's Patharwadi village, the two girls, who were not students at the school, were playing nearby when the balcony gave way. Moli, visiting her uncle in the village, was crushed under the debris and died on the spot, while 11-year-old Payal sustained injuries and was subsequently hospitalized in Gujarat, police said. The mishap ignited protests among villagers, who alleged use of substandard materials in the school's renovation. "It is a tragic incident. One girl who was not a student at the school has died, while another girl, who was, is critically injured. I have asked the authorities to inquire about the matter," said school education minister Madan Dilawar. Kotra SHO Moongla Ram confirmed that the school's Independence Day celebrations were being held at a different location due to ongoing construction work.

Minor killed as balcony of Udaipur school collapses

Jaipur: A 12-year-old girl was killed while another was injured when the balcony of an under-construction government school collapsed in Udaipur's Kotra area on Friday. The incident took place in Patharwadi village, a tribal-dominated area, where construction of a senior secondary school is underway. Police said the victims, Moli (12) and Payal (11), were playing near the site when the balcony of the hall suddenly gave way. Moli, daughter of Shyama and a resident of Gau Pipal village, had been visiting her maternal uncle in Patharwadi. Moli died under the debris, while Payal, who sustained injuries, is undergoing treatment at a hospital. The collapse sparked anger among villagers, who alleged that substandard materials were used in construction. Police and Education Department officials are investigating the matter. Udaipur Education Department ADPC Nanihal Singh clarified that the school is not operational at this site; classes are being conducted in another building nearby, where Independence Day celebrations were taking place. In Bundi, five students were injured when a false ceiling collapsed during Independence Day celebrations at St. Paul Senior Secondary School. The injured students, Twinkle (13), Adhira (6), Srishti (10), Vinay (10) and Itisha (11), are being treated at the district hospital. In another incident, the wall of a room collapsed at Government Higher Primary School, Fatehganj, Nainwan, Bundi, while children were changing clothes. Fortunately, no one was injured. The incidents follow a July 25 tragedy in Jhalawar, where seven children died after part of Piplodi Government School's building collapsed. Leader of opposition in Rajasthan Assembly, Tika Ram Jully, said, "The news of the tragic death of an innocent girl and the injury of another in Udaipur due to the collapse of a government school balcony, along with the injury of five children in Bundi following the fall of a false ceiling, is deeply saddening and heartbreaking." He said, "Repeated occurrence of these painful incidents expose the government's negligence and the alarming condition of our educational institutions." "It is a matter of deep shame that the government is failing to ensure such a sensitive and vital responsibility - the safety of our children. I pray to God to grant peace to the departed soul, give strength to the bereaved families to bear this unbearable loss, and wish a swift recovery to all the injured," Jully said.

Young Powys farmer thanks medics after brain tumour removed

A young farmer from Powys was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumour following a holiday to Turkey - after her symptoms were dismissed as heatstroke. Moli Morgan, 22, went to Antalya for a sunshine break with her boyfriend but suffered two seizures the night before she was due to fly home. Turkish doctors told her it was probably down to heatstroke after spending too much time in the 30c sun during their week-long trip. She returned to the UK the following day and went to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital after being advised to by her sister, who is a nurse, and underwent a CT and MRI scan. Moli was left stunned to be told she had a life-threatening 4cm glioma on the left side of her head despite feeling "pretty much completely fine". She was transferred to a specialist neurology centre at Royal Stoke University Hospital, where it was decided the mass would be removed by an awake craniotomy. During the operation, Moli had to repeat words back in both Welsh in English to make sure the surgery didn't impact her ability to speak her first language, which is Welsh. The four hour long procedure on December 9 last year proved a success and Moli is now back helping out on the family farm in Llanerfyl. Moli said she is "back to normal" six months on and has thanked the medics who saved her life. Moli said: "It was obviously very scary and you expect the worst when you're told you have a brain tumour. "I had no real warning signs before or during the holiday, I had never suffered any symptoms before. "I have only ever had a migraine but didn't think anything of it at the time. Everything seemed to happen quickly." Moli booked the holiday with her boyfriend of six years Ollie Higgins, 22, a mechanic, in October last year. She added "We'd had a lovely week there, it was really relaxed and there was a water park at the hotel which was great. It was hot but not unbearable, around 28-30c. "I felt absolutely fine and there were no warning signs for what was about to come the day before we were due to fly home. "I'd had trouble sleeping but felt OK apart from that and then I suffered a seizure at around 1am in the morning following by a second one about 20 minutes later. "My boyfriend called the medics and they had a doctor on site at the hotel who told me it was probably just heatstroke. "We had been in the sun all day and I hadn't drank much water, so I sort of thought nothing more of it and that is was probably just heatstroke, and we flew home the next evening. "One of my three sisters is a nurse and she suggested we got to hospital to check it out just to be on the safe side. "We went to Shrewsbury Hospital and had an MRI scan and got the results back the same day. "They had found I had a 4cm brain tumour on the left side and I just couldn't believe it, as I had no other real symptoms and felt completely fine. "I do get a couple of migraines a year, but obviously that can be normal. It just came as such a massive shock. "You just sort of try and deal with it, I think my parents and sisters were more worried. I stayed in hospital for 4-5 days having anti-seizure tablets before I was allowed home." Dr Erminia Albanese, a consultant neurologist in Stoke, told Moli her procedure would have to be carried out while she was awake. "I didn't even really think about it, I just thought do whatever you need to do. "While I was awake I had to have a translator there to make sure I was repeating words back in Welsh and English correctly. "There was like this Powerpoint presentation with basic things like animals and food on them - and I had to repeat the words back. "There was a couple of times I didn't get it right, so they knew that was the part affecting my language and not to interfere there. "It's mind-blowing what they can do really." She was left with 28 staples in her head and was kept in for two days before she could return home. The hospital said it was vital Moli had an interpreter with her so she could talk throughout the surgery and the team could do all the checks to ensure she didn't lose the ability to speak Welsh. Moli and her mum, Carol, have now presented a cheque for £345 to Ward 228 and members of the UHNM Charity team, which was raised through a carol singing night organised by The Wales Federation of Young Farmers.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumour after doctors dismissed it as heatstroke

The night before she was due to fly home from a holiday in Antalya with her boyfriend last October, Moli Morgan, 22, suffered two seizures. Turkish doctors told her it was probably down to heatstroke after spending too much time in the 30°C sun during their week-long trip. But when she returned to the UK the following day, Moli's sister, a nurse, urged her to go to hospital for a checkup. As the farmer from Llanerfyl, in Powys, Wales felt 'completely fine', she was shocked to learn that she had a life-threatening 4cm brain tumour on the left side of her head. 'I had no real warning signs before or during the holiday,' says Moli. 'I had never suffered any symptoms before.' The holiday itself was 'lovely', and she and her boyfriend of six years, Oli, 22, spent the week relaxing and visiting the hotel's water park. It wasn't until the last night that things took a turn for the worse when, apparently out of of the blue, Moli had a seizure at around 1am followed by another 20 minutes later. 'My boyfriend called the medics and they had a doctor on site at the hotel who told me it was probably just heatstroke,' she recalled. 'We had been in the sun all day and I hadn't drank much water, so I sort of thought nothing more of it and we flew home the next evening.' Moli followed her sister's advice 'to be on the safe side' and was given a CT and MRI scan at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, but 'couldn't believe it' when doctors broke the news of the tumour. She says: 'I do get a couple of migraines a year, but obviously that can be normal. It just came as such a massive shock.' After being kept in for four days having anti-seizure tablets, Moli was allowed to return home. However, it wasn't long before she was transferred to a specialist neurology centre at Royal Stoke University Hospital to have the mass removed in an awake craniotomy. While this would be a daunting prospect for many, she says: 'I didn't even really think about it, I just thought do whatever you need to do.' During the operation, she had to repeat words back in both Welsh in English to make sure the surgery didn't impact her ability to speak her first language, which is Welsh. 'There was a couple of times I didn't get it right, so they knew that was the part affecting my language and not to interfere there,' adds Moli. 'It's mind-blowing what they can do really.' The four-hour procedure – which left the 22-year-old with 28 staples in her head – thankfully proved a success, and further tests showed the tumour was benign and non-cancerous. Six months on, Moli is still being monitored, but is now back helping out on the family farm, and largely 'back to normal'. To thank the medics who saved her life, she and her mother, Carol, presented a cheque for £345 to Ward 228 and members of the UHNM Charity team, which they raised through a carol singing night organised by The Wales Federation of Young Farmers. More Trending 'It was amazing to see Moli and her mum,' said Dr Erminia Albanese. 'Her recovery has been incredible, and it's great to see her doing well after the surgery.' According to the NHS, symptoms of a brain tumour vary depending on the exact part of the brain affected. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, persistently feeling sick, vomiting and drowsiness, mental or behavioural changes – such as memory problems or changes in personality – progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, and vision or speech problems.
