Nagpur private hospital to vaccinate 1,000 people below poverty line for free
Nagpur private hospital ? Shri Bhawani Multispeciality Hospital and Research Institute in Pardi – has decided to vaccinate 1,000 people below poverty line for free on Saturday (March 6). The free vaccination by a private hospital may be first such instance in the country ever since the COVID-19 vaccination began.
As part of the free vaccination drive, the hospital, which is run by Shri Bhawani Mata Seva Samiti, will bear the Rs 250 cost of the vaccine for 1,000 people. Nagpur Municipal Corporation has already provided the required doses to the hospital while stating that there is nothing wrong with such charity activities if all guidelines are followed.
The free vaccination drive is being held on the birthday of East Nagpur MLA Krishna Khopde. However, Pandurang Meher, the President of the Samiti, told TOI that it is just a coincidence. Meher said: Our trust is into various social activities since the outbreak of the pandemic. The government has allowed our hospital to be part of the vaccination program since we are empanelled in its scheme. We have been allowed to charge Rs 250 per dose. We are planning to give jabs to senior citizens from BPL category free of cost.
Meher also pointed out that since private hospitals are only allowed to vaccinate pre-registered people, the hospital has arranged for a computer at its premises to do the registration of people belonging to BPL category.

12-yr-old Nagpur boy dies after trying to imitate a deadly YouTube video
A 12-year-old boy named Agranya Barapatre in Nagpur breathed his last after trying to imitate a video on YouTube at his neighbour’s place. The woman, in the video, is seen demonstrating how she escaped with her hands tied behind, gagged and face covered with scarves. He was found hanging from a wooden ladder’s stick on the neighbour’s terrace but there was no knot on the scarf.
Upon inspection, it was learnt that Agranya had downloaded a video titled ‘Full face cover challenge’ in his phone. Cops said that there was no reason for the teenager to commit suicide but the possibility of an accident could not be ruled out.
Arangya’s mother said the couple had no clue where the scarf came from; he only carried a chakri and a kite. She also revealed that her son usually played on their neighbour’s terrace
Reportedly, Agranya was undergoing a psychiatric treatment as he was a hyperactive kid who wasn’t attentive in studies. He was good with using phones and application so his family tried to keep the phone away from him. However, he would somehow always locate the phone.
Agranya, the only child to his parents, was supposed to be felicitated at his school on Thursday during Republic Day for securing second position at a double-lathi event at the third National Traditional Lathi Sports Championship in Indore.
Post the incident, he was rushed to Government Medical College but was declared dead. Sakkardara Police registered a case of accident death.
