71 PG seats added to Rohtak PGIMS: Vij
CHANDIGARH: Haryana health minister Anil Vij on Tuesday said that 71 post graduate seats have been added in the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science (PGIMS), Rohtak.
He said the increase has been implemented with the Centre’s approval to meet the shortage of specialised doctors in Haryana.
Earlier, the state government had increased MBBS seats from 100 to 150 in the Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat.
4,172 CCTV CAMERAS TO BE INSTALLED
The health minister also said that 4,172 CCTV cameras will be installed in 166 health centres across the state to ensure safety and proper treatment of patients.
He said these included 960 cameras in 20 district civil hospitals, 792 cameras in 36 sub-divisional hospitals and 2,420 in 110 community health centres of the state.
“Their installation will not only check incidents of theft, but also keep an eye on the behaviour of doctors, information of treatment being given to them and any misbehaviour with doctors by anti-social elements,” Vij said. JIND: A cashew truck driver, who allegedly stole his Rs 1 crore worth of truckload to sell by himself, has been arrested, police said on Tuesday.
Fateh Singh, a resident of Rajasthan’s Ajmer district, was arrested last night, Investigating Officer Ramfal said.
On June 3, he abandoned the truck after unloading 855 boxes of cashew at Ajmer’s Narayanpur village here, he said.
“During interrogation Singh confessed to the crime and said he planned to steal his truck’s load when he was on his way to deliver it to Ludhiana from Mangaluru in Karnataka,” the officer said.
The accused said he took the help of two others, of whom one was arrested earlier, to unload the boxes and hide it at different locations in Ajmer, he said.
Singh said he had committed the crime to fulfil his aspiration of becoming rich, the officer claimed. The police have recovered 748 of 855 boxes and the rest will be found soon. The truck was traced by the logistics company through GPS after it did not reach its destination, Ramfal said. The accused has been sent to jail.
