Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Monday issued orders barring Deccan Hospitals in Hyderabad from treating Covid-19 patients. The health department said the permission was withdrawn following complaints of exorbitant charges. The hospital was directed not to admit new patients. All the patients currently under treatment should not be troubled and they should be charged as per the rates already fixed by the government. If found violating the order, the hospital would face cancellation of licence, warned state public health director Dr G Sreenivas in the order.

Last week the boy went back to school. His summer vacation lasted 10 weeks this year, but he hasn’t boarded his mandatory school bus in nearly five months. Physical schooling has been called off due to the pandemic, and the entire faculty has been ‘upskilled’ to teach online. (Please note the wards needed no upskilling, it’s almost as if this generation came out of the womb with an iDevice attached to their umbilical cords). And yes, we still pay a full fee, because if we don’t pay for education then nothing else is worth it. The boy is glad to be back at school, even though it is a virtual classroom. I can scarcely say he has missed his friends. They have been up all night, every night, of the summer hols playing online games and watching European football. I do know he misses kicking a ball around with his mates during lunch break. But the gladness, I suspect, comes from returning to his school wardrobe. No, this is not the same as a school uniform. … [Read more...] about The school wardrobe

The release of the expenditure data comes amid a warning by the BMC’s finance department of a massive revenue shortfall this year. The civic body’s collections for the first financial quarter this year had dropped to 20 per cent of the revenue collected in the same period last year, earning just Rs 966.30 crore, owing to the economy grinding to a complete halt in the early phases of the lockdown. Officials said the BMC, which had in February unveiled a budget of Rs 33,441-crore budget for 2020-21, will have to make cuts. P Velrasu, additional municipal commissioner, finance, said his department has worked out a proposal for a downward revision of Rs 2,500 crore from the budget. He said the proposal will be discussed with corporators first. He asserted that no major project, including the coastal road, will suffer a fund shortage. … [Read more...] about BMC’s Covid battle has cost ₹600 cr; biggest spending on wards, feeding migrants, buying medicines and equipment
