UP Man Gets Life In Jail For Killing Stepmother Over Land Dispute
Ballia: A court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of culpable homicide of his stepmother nearly five years ago over a family dispute, police said. Additional Sessions Judge Gyan Prakash Tiwari also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on him for the crime. According to the prosecution, the incident took place on October 3, 2020, in Parasiya village under the Rasra police station limits, where 45-year-old Tara Devi was attacked with a sharp weapon on her neck, leading to her death. An FIR was lodged based on a written complaint by Tara Devi, in which she named her husband Shribhagwan Chaurasia and stepson Dharmveer Chaurasia alias Pankaj as accused and relevant sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code were levelled against them. After investigation, the police filed a chargesheet against both. Police said Shribhagwan Chaurasia had two marriages. From his first marriage, he had three daughters and a son, Pankaj. While two daughters were already married, the family was preparing for the third daughter's wedding. Pankaj had reportedly been pressuring his stepmother Tara Devi to sell land purchased in her name to fund the marriage. The dispute over the sale of the land escalated, culminating in Pankaj killing Tara Devi with a sharp weapon. Ballia Superintendent of Police Omveer Singh said on Thursday, Additional Sessions Judge Gyan Prakash Tiwari, after hearing both sides, found Dharmveer Chaurasia alias Pankaj guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 10,000. However, due to lack of evidence, the court acquitted Shribhagwan Chaurasia, Tara Devi's husband, in the case.

Staff crunch at PGI test counters adds to patients' woes
Inadequate staff at the Sample Collection Centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) is adding to the woes of patients, who have to stand for hours in long queues at multiple counters to get their tests done. Inadequate staff at the Sample Collection Centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) is adding to the woes of patients, who have to stand for hours in long queues at multiple counters to get their tests done. (HT photo) In the New OPD Building of the PGIMER, tests are conducted from 8 am to 1pm and on a daily basis about 7,000 blood samples are collected. In room No. 25, there are three medical record technicians dealing on an average with over 1,500 patients. One has to follow a tedious process to get their tests done in PGI. Firstly, the patient stands in the queue at counter No. 6,7 or 23, 24 for tests' payment. On counter No. 23 that is for payment of X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, there is one worker accepting payment for male, female, senior citizens and PGI staff categories that have separate lines. Due to one person accepting all payments, different lines often get merged up and senior citizens suffer the most due to the chaotic situation. Ranjit Kaur, 60, who had come from Gurdaspur for her back pain, couldn't find a line for senior citizens at counter No. 23 as she wanted to make payment for her MRI test. Due to the limited time-frame for tests at PGIMER i.e. 8 am to 1pm, patients start gathering outside the sample collection room and payment counters from 6 am onwards. After making the payment for blood sample tests at counter no. 6 or 7, the patient has to stand in another line at room no. 25 where barcodes with patient names are generated. To get the barcodes, patients wait for almost 2 hours and it can increase depending on the rush. Having received the barcode, patients stand in another line to give samples. The entire process consumes 3-4 hours. Though it is not compulsory to get one's tests done inside PGIMER, due to authentic results and on doctor's insistence patients tend to get them done at the institute only. Tara Devi, 42, standing in line for her 55-year-old relative, said, 'I have been standing in line since 8.30 am and more than one-and-a-half hour has passed but it looks like the line is not moving'. Another attendant, Aiysha, standing in line for her mother, said, 'I have been standing in line since 8 am for my mother who got an eye stroke. A few women came later and stood in front of us due to which our turn came very late'. Director of PGIMER Dr Vivek Lal said, 'Though on all 52 sanctioned posts of medical record technicians, outsourced workers have been hired, we'll see if we can increase their number. In addition, we are keenly following the computer upgrade work so that things get automated and people don't have to stand in queues for registration and other things,'
