A GROUP of doctors from India performed heart surgeries on 23 children in two weeks under the Miracle Baby Programme (Second Mission) in Penang, Makkal Osai reported.
The doctors from the Sri Sathya Sanjeevani Hospitals group carried out life-saving procedures on the children aged from just a few months up to 12, with local doctors’ help.
Penang Hindu Endowments Board (PHEB) vice-chairman and former director of the Sungai Bakap Hospital, Senator Dr RA Lingeshwaran, said the programme began in 2022.
This year, it was done at Penang General Hospital with the collaboration of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, he said.
PHEB chairman RSN Rayer, who is Jelutong MP, hosted a special event at the Waterfall Temple in Penang to honour the doctors who took part.
It helped correct congenital heart diseases in the 23 children from all communities.
> A groom walked out of his own wedding in New Delhi after a song reminded him of his ex-girlfriend, the daily also reported.
The incident happened when the DJ began playing Channa Mereya from the Hindi film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai.
The song, whose title means “the moon in mine”, apparently evoked memories of a previous love, prompting him to call off the wedding immediately.
The wedding procession with the bride’s family returned home minus the groom.
In reaction to the story, which went viral later, the film’s director Karan Johar posted an incredulous “Huh?” on social media.
Some commenters thanked the singer Arijit Singh for his emotional rendition of the song that stirred such feelings in the groom.
Others, however, slammed the groom for his selfish act and even snidely remarked that he probably thought he was Ranbir.
