1. The Chhattisgarh incident.
I was saddened by the incident in Chhattisgarh where botched up sterilization surgeries undertaken at a government organised sterilization camp had caused the death of 13 women while many more were in a critical state. From the media bytes one understands that rusted equipment were used for the surgery and if reports are to be believed, there's a covert cover up operations that's on.
Tubectomy is a safe birth control method and is minor in nature, if done correctly, that is. And from the reports it's clear that the women who've been affected are from the low income groups.
What made the doctor and his associates go about the surgery in such a callous manner? Would they've put their own near and dear ones through such an ordeal? Or is that a method to notch up statistics? And to top it all, the shameless politician has begun the blame game!
Thankfully, the Supreme Court has taken a suo moto cognizance of the incident and has appointed its own investigators to report back with the details within 10 days. May the culprits be brought to book at the earliest to avoid recurrence of similar incidents in the future!
2. Too safe for comfort?
To ensure total safety of the electrical system in 'The Quarterdeck', I'd insisted on the installation of a safety device in the main switch board so that a fault in the system or an errant line trips the master fuse and avoid unnecessary complications. After a fortnight's good behaviour, we find to our utter horror that the system trips frequently making it impossible to use equipment in the manner that we desire.
A thorough check by two different teams haven't been able to pin point the fault either! So, for the time being the 'safety device' has been bypassed. Another check will be carried out next Monday to finally decide on what's to be done about it.
I'm reminded of the famous Mac Murphy's law yet again!
Tailpiece.
No sign of the monsoons after the initial show and the Met department has been deafening by their silence!
