29-week-old foetus with brain problems can be aborted: Calcutta HC
oesophagus, said the lawyer for the petitioner. Arundhati Mukherjee, assistant professor of paediatrics of National Medical College and Hospital, said, 'Problems of the heart and oesophagus are quite common in children suffering from Down's Syndrome. Down's Syndrome can be of different degrees. If it's acute, life becomes extremely painful not only for the kid but also for the parents.' On January 29, a single judge bench of Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty turned down the 42-year-old woman's petition to terminate what was then a 26-week-old foetus. The judge observed that at that stage, abortion was impossible and if the baby was born with Down's Syndrome, it could be treated. Down's Syndrome is a genetic disorder that is associated with delayed physical growth, and impaired intellectual growth apart. According to the Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, the permission of a high court is required for the abortion of a foetus which is more than 20 -weeks old . The upper limit of legal abortions in India's Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2016 is 20 weeks, but the health ministry is finalising a proposal to increase it to 24 weeks, and, in cases of substantial foetal abnormalities, do away with the upper limit altogether. The petitioner's counsels — Kallol Basu and Apalak Basu — argued in court that her 48-year-old husband is an employee of a private firm with a modest salary, and it would be impossible for them to bear the cost of sustained treatment of a baby born with Down's Syndrome. They also emphasised the constant mental agony that the family would undergo in raising the child. The couple has a 13-year-old daughter. Earlier, a medical board of the state-run SSKM Medical College & Hospital [Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research, Kolkata], submitted a report to the single bench and said there is a possibility that the condition of the baby could improve if it is delivered after completion of the full-term of pregnancy. The single bench order was based on the report of a medical board, constituted by the West Bengal government that the foetus was suffering from Down's Syndrome and the baby would be born with grave abnormalities.

Delaying the baby's first bath helps breastfeeding
In the study, which began in 2016, study author Heather DiCioccio and nurses at Hillcrest Hospital compared 500 babies who were bathed immediately to those who didn't for at least 12 hours. They found that breastfeeding rates in the delayed-bath group went up from 59 per cent to 68 per cent. 'We're starting to see that the earlier we can get the babies to latch, the better the mom's milk supply will be,' DiCioccio was quoted as saying. 'In India, the first bath of the baby usually happens in the hospital itself, on the next day. Also, the baby is given a bath with lukewarm water. Go in for natural cleansers and avoid chemical based products for the baby's first bath,' informs Dr Rita Bakshi, Senior Gynaecologist and IVF Expert, International Fertility Centre. As and when a baby is born, he/she is first wiped off with wet cotton to ensure that the baby is free from any blood and this process usually takes place in the labour room itself. The newborn is generally given a bath after 12-24 hours which is usually the next day after the baby is born. This interval is generally given because as soon as the baby is born, it is given to the mother after half an hour to be held skin-to-skin which is essential for regulating the body temperature of the baby. The body temperature of the baby is usually disturbed after the birth and normalises after the skin-to-skin contact with the mother's abdomen or breasts, she explains. Dr Bakshi recommends, 'Also, this is really the time for the baby and mother to bond and unfold a beautiful attachment. It is always advised to never interrupt or compromise on this time as this also establishes an ease during breastfeeding. Bathing can definitely wait so, never settle on anything for the mother and baby bonding time. The newborn baby should never be bathed immediately.'

LoC trade survives post-Pulwama flare-up
alik, however, said the Karvan e Aman, the peace bus that ferries passengers between the two Kashmirs was suspended this week."Last Monday, we had 13 people from our side going to the other side but no bus plied this Monday," Malik told The Telegraph.The cross-LoC bus plies only once a week on Monday.Tensions had escalated between the two countries after a suicide bomber rammed his car into a CRPF convoy in Pulwama on February 14, leaving 40 troopers dead.Twelve days later, on February 26, Indian Air Force fighter jets pounded a militant camp across the border, triggering retaliatory air strikes by Pakistan the next day.Restricted travel between the two Kashmirs had started in 2005 on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road and the Poonch-Rawlakote road in Jammu.In 2008, cross-LoC trade ties resumed between the two sides for the first time since Partition.The initiatives are seen as the two biggest confidence-building steps India and Pakistan had announced for the two Kashmirs, although few have benefited from the measures as both countries have shown little interest in widening their reach because of persistent hostilities.Hilal Ahmad Turkey, president of the cross-LoC traders' union in Kashmir, said trade between the two sides on the Valley route had continued on February 26, the day the hostilities had peaked, but was stopped the next day."The administration and traders on the two sides decided to stop the trade for around a week from Wednesday, lest the trucks are caught in the exchange of fire. In Poonch (Jammu), the trade stopped for only a day (February 26) and has been going on unhindered since," he said."I don't think there was any direction (from the central government) to stop the trade. Whatever was done was done at the local level," he added, indicating that the two sides largely allow the exchange of goods despite hostilities."Thirty-four trucks carrying goods entered our side while 35 trucks left for the other side on Tuesday. Thirty-five trucks each crossed the border crossing today (Wednesday) from either side."Turkey, however, said the continuing hostilities and unresolved "GST issues" had shrunk the number of traders on this side on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road from 647 a few years back to 229 now."Exports (on the Kashmir route) came down from Rs 407 crore in 2017-18 to Rs 259 crore (in the first 10 months of the current financial year) while imports shrunk from Rs 320 crore (in the last fiscal) to Rs 217 crore (in the 10 months of the current fiscal," he said.The export and import figure for 2015-16 on this route was Rs 532 crore and Rs 383 crore, respectively.Turkey said the continuing hostilities in recent years had shrunk the number of working days, contributing to the decline in trade.Exports mostly include embroidery items, red chilly, herbs, spices and banana, while the Indian side imports almonds, pistachio, dry dates, herbs and mangoes among other items.

PM Modi criticising me to hide his mistakes, says HD Kumaraswamy
'He should know that our programmes are the best in the country. Let him gather more information about our government,' he said. He also tweeted, 'Respected Prime Minister, I expected you to speak the truth while addressing the people at Kalyana Karnataka, the land of Sharanas who advocated Kayaka Tatva.' Former chief minister and Congress strongman Siddaramaiah also hit back at Modi. He tweeted, "No individuals can control a CM in democracy. Only people can control them with their votes. Maybe @narendramodi's experience of him being controlled from Nagpur is making him comment against others." ... Dailyhunthttps://wanelo.co/zeeseensh
