Four persons are feared to have died due to a disruption in oxygen supply at the Cancer Hospital, that has been converted into a COVID-19 hospital connected to the Super Speciality Hospital. The incident is the third in as many days resulting in the death of COVID patients from alleged human error and lack of proper supervision at government hospitals in Anantapur district. The Cancer Hospital has a 6 kilolitre liquid medical oxygen unit, but that was exhausted at 6 p.m. and the new supplies arrived only at 7.45 p.m. The four patients died in the intervening hour and 45 minutes, Anantapur Urban MLA Anantha Venkatarami Reddy told mediapersons outside the hospital. A large police contingent was deployed to maintain law and order. Four ambulances went out, but it was not clear as to how many died.For the first time in a Lok Sabha election, the AIADMK forfeited deposits in seven constituencies. For the ruling DMK, the verdict is seen as a popular endorsement of the functioning of its three-year government under Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. The outcome indicates that the BJP, whose Hindutva ideology has all along been considered alien to the political ethos of Tamil Nadu
Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K. Suresh, said he was the “people’s candidate” and that it is their aspiration to see him in the Union Cabinet. In an interview with The Hindu, he claimed his victory was possible because those who were treated at the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research became his “ambassadors”.
