If Chief Medical Superintendent Sachin Mahor is to be believed, 54 children were admitted in the NICU ward. Late on Friday night, a fire suddenly broke out inside the oxygen concentrator in the NICU ward of the medical college. The cause of the fire is being said to be a short circuit.

If sources are to be believed, as soon as the information about the fire was received, an immediate attempt was made to extinguish it, but due to the high level of oxygen in the NICU ward, the fire became severe. This fire engulfed the entire ward in no time.

Eyewitnesses allege that the safety alarm installed in the hospital did not ring during the fire. However, the people present on the spot saved many children, but 10 newborns lost their lives.

After this accident, the government has ordered a three-tier inquiry. The first investigation of this case will be done at the administrative level which will be done by the Health Department, while the second investigation will be done by the police administration. Along with this, there will also be a magisterial inquiry in the case.

Not only this, politics has also intensified regarding the Jhansi fire incident. Akhilesh Yadav has said that the cause of the fire is being told to be a fire in the ‘oxygen concentrator’. This is a direct case of negligence of medical management and administration or of poor quality oxygen concentrator. Punitive action should be taken against all the responsible people in this case.

UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya raised questions on Akhilesh’s allegations. He said that Akhilesh Yadav had ruined the entire medical system from 2012 to 2017. He will be remembered as a failed Chief Minister in every field. He should be ashamed of making political comments in such matters.

News agency Xinhua quoted German news agency DPA as saying that the poverty rate of senior citizens in Germany has remained stable in recent years. 3.245 million senior citizens are affected in the year 2023 and 3.157 million in 2022.

However, this figure is quite different from the figure of 2013, when only 2.4 million elderly people were at risk of poverty in Germany.

In fact, the risk of poverty is defined as when a person’s income is less than 60 percent after social benefits.

The elderly population in Germany has increased in the last few years. The elderly population was 12 million in 1991, which increased to 18.7 million in the year 2022.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, this demographic change means that the elderly population has become a large part of the country’s population.

Meanwhile, the debate on the issue of poverty of the elderly has intensified regarding pension reform in the country. There are many differences among German political parties on possible solutions. According to DPA, major changes are unlikely before the formation of a new government.

PM Modi gave the mantra of ‘Progress of the People’ at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit on Saturday. He said that the people of India have handed over the capital of their trust to us for the huge goal of making a developed India.

He said that in the era of social media, false news has also spread. Even in this era, the citizens of India have faith in us. When the confidence of the public increases, its different effect is seen on the development of the country. The culture of risk taking has been common from the ancient civilization to today’s developed countries. The changes that have come in the country in the last 10 years have again given new energy to the culture of risk taking among the citizens of India.

PM Modi said that the government has eliminated gas shortage in the last 10 years. Similarly, mobile phones and Rupay cards are examples. Earlier, having a debit or credit card made people feel proud. Today, even the poor have Rupay credit and debit cards in their pockets. Today, even the poorest of the poor do online transactions. They use UPI. This is also an example of employment through investment and dignity through development.

PM Modi said that to understand the growth trajectory on which India is today, it is important to look at another approach of our government. This approach is – ‘Spend Big for People’, ‘Save Big for People’, i.e. more spending on the public and more savings for the public.

Citing an example, PM Modi said that today our capital expenditure is more than Rs 11 lakh crore. This amount is being spent on new hospitals, roads, railways, research facilities. Along with increasing spending on the public, we are also saving the public’s money. For example, the country has saved Rs 3.5 lakh crore due to direct benefit transfer. The poor have saved Rs 1 lakh crore due to free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The citizens have saved Rs 30,000 crore due to the cheap medicines available at the Jan Aushadhi Kendra. The Ujala scheme has saved Rs 20,000 crore in the electricity bills of the people.

He said, “For the first time, 12 crore people have got clean water under the Har Ghar Nal Se Jal scheme, due to which such families have saved more than Rs 10,000 every year. 10 years ago, no one had thought of such a big change in India. Today there is a hope and thought that this century will be India’s century. For this, we will have to make many more efforts and we are also working in this direction. We have to make such world class products, such world class infrastructure, education, films etc. should be made.” PM Modi further said, “We are moving with the mantra of Progress of the People, Progress by the People, Progress for the People. 10 years ago, nobody had thought that such a big change would happen in India. India’s success has inspired us to dream bigger and fulfill it. Today there is a hope, a thought that this century is India’s century.”

It is being told that the police is scanning the CCTV footage to identify the miscreants who opened fire.

One person said, “Harish Chaudhary was the target of the miscreants. They fired 20-22 rounds of bullets. Bullet marks are visible both inside and outside the office.

According to an eyewitness, “20-22 rounds of bullets were fired at Mukul Diesel Pump in Gokulpuri. The incident took place between 10-11 pm late at night.”

I still remember when I went to the nearest multiplex to review the first part of this film about 24 years ago, the hall was completely full and the next two shows were also full in advance, the same scene was seen this time again when Paul Mescal’s fans came to the cinema with their friends and family to watch their favorite hero’s film.

While watching this film, I was once again happy in my heart that after the tremendous success of the last film Gladiator, I have come again to watch Paul Mescal’s film and review Gladiator 2.

Once again, in this film, Paul has shown his strong acting and at the same time, watching Paul’s action scenes, which are worth watching with bated breath, this action is much more than the previous film and the film is also full of entertainment. The genre of action and adventure is also not less in this film of about 150 minutes duration. The director of this film is Ridley Scott who directed the film Napoleon which was released last year. This film was also a hit at the box office.

Story Plot:

Talking about the story of the film, this film revolves around the warrior Maximus and his son named Lucius. The character of Mavlucius is played by Paul Mescal in this film. The son is also a powerful warrior like his father who is fighting a war against the tyrannical rulers of Rome. His wife Arist also supports him in this war who is also a good warrior herself. Connie has played the character of Arist in the film in a lively manner. The twist in the story of the film comes when Lucius takes the form of a gladiator while fighting. Now it remains to be seen how Lucius fights the atrocities of Rome and what is the result of this war.

At a glance

In my opinion, all the action sequences of the film are amazing. Whether it is the warriors’ getup or the bloodshed, all the scenes will surprise you. The cinematography of this film is excellent, which brings the war environment of the old times to reality. The background music of the film is amazing and works to bring life to every scene. This film is much better than the previous film, this time the story has been developed more. Although the film is a bit long, but it leaves no stone unturned in entertaining you.

Overall

If you are fond of good stories and tremendous action and have seen the first part of this film, then do not miss this film and watch this film with your friends and family, the film is full paisa vasool.
