28-Year-Old Jharkhand Labourer Dies After Excavator Falls On Him In Uran.

The Incident

A 28-year-old Jharkhand laborer who was operating an excavator for a living passed tragically when the same machine crashed on top of him. When the tragedy occurred, the deceased, Ajaykumar Mangar Mahto, who is also charged in the case, was operating the excavator away from the trailer.

The excavator was transported to Karan Soneri Phata on Wednesday, which is next to the bridge that connects Uran and Jasai. A trailer was used to transport the excavator. Mahto and the trailer driver had lunch after arriving at the location where a private company for Railways was doing the job. Mahto later got on the excavator to remove it.

When he noticed he was losing the vehicle’s equilibrium while driving it down, he leaped out of the driver’s cabin in the hopes of saving himself. However, the excavator also swung and fell on him, instantly killing him, according to senior police inspector BT Ove of the Nhava Sheva police station.

The tragedy occurred on Wednesday afternoon, and when the police determined that the dead person had been negligent, a formal complaint was filed on Thursday.

Apollo Hospitals Launches State-Of-The-Art Liver ICU To Combat Rising Liver Disease Cases.

The Launch

Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai (AHNM) has unveiled a 12-bedded Liver Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the first of its kind in the Navi Mumbai region, to address the rising cases of liver diseases. The facility offers specialized care for acute liver failure, chronic liver disease management, and post-transplant recovery.

Liver diseases are a significant health challenge in India, accounting for 18.3% of global liver disease-related deaths in 2015. Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a leading cause, driven by factors like alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis (HBV and HCV), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Over 40 million Indians are infected with hepatitis B, leading to 600,000 deaths annually. Hepatitis C and E, along with NAFLD, further contribute to liver-related fatalities.

Dr. Amey Sonavane, Consultant in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, highlighted the growing demand for liver care, citing poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, and genetic factors. “Liver disease affects 1 in 5 adults in India, and the need for specialized care will continue to rise,” he said.

Dr. Guruprasad Shetty, Lead of HPB and Liver Transplantation Surgery, noted the unique challenges of liver failure, as no machine can replicate liver function. “Our dedicated ICU meets this critical need. With over 215 liver transplants and a 90% success rate, we’re committed to improving outcomes,” he stated.

The Liver ICU features cutting-edge technology, including artificial liver assist devices, renal replacement therapies, and hemodynamic monitoring. Dr. Suvadeep Sen emphasized its strict infection control protocols and 24/7 support services, ensuring high-quality care.

Dr. Akshay Challani highlighted the multidisciplinary approach essential for managing advanced liver diseases, ensuring better survival rates and long-term outcomes. This initiative solidifies AHNM’s position as a leader in liver care.
