On April 25 when 25-year-old Syed Ali’s oxygen levels dipped perilously low to 78 percent, his family in Indarwa Abdullah, a village in Bihar’s Gopalganj district, rushed him to the district hospital. He was put on oxygen therapy, but it was not helping. He needed a ventilator, the doctors said.
The Gopalganj district hospital has three ventilators that it received from the Central government last September. But seven months later, as Bihar battles a deadly surge of Covid-19, with daily caseload this week increasing to more than three times the peak seen last year, these life-saving devices are little more than furniture here.
Bokaro: A joint team of Jamui (Bihar) police and the Bihar excise department with the support of the Bokaro administration raided a liquor manufacturing unit, Shree Om Bottlers and Blenders Private Limited, on Saturday night. The team seized more than 700 boxes of liquor bottles stocked in a godown located adjacent to the manufacturing unit.
Although the liquor manufacturing unit is licensed, the godown adjacent to it where the liquor bottles were seized is unlicensed. The liquor factory belongs to businessman Anil Singh. Apart from liquor manufacturing, Singh has other business ventures. Singh did not respond when contacted.
The SP of Jamui, Pramod Kumar Mandal, said over the phone: “The raid was conducted following the seizure of a huge stock of liquor bottles from a truck parked near a dhaba at Panaut Moad in Malaypur area of Jamui on April 9.” The truck’s driver said he loaded the liquor from Bokaro. Six people were arrested in Jamui.
