from Barishal hospital's toilet pipe
BARISHAL : A probe committee on Tuesday
started its investigation over rescuing a
newborn from the sewerage pipe of Barishal
Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital
(SBMCH) after her mother gave birth in a
toilet of the maternity ward.
Dr HM Saiful Islam, director of SBMCH,
formed the three-member probe committee
on Sunday.
Dr HM Saiful Islam said the probe
committee headed by pediatric department
chief Professor Dr Mujibur Rahman
Talukder has been asked to submit a report
within three working days.
Meanwhile, Professor Mujibur Rahman
Talukder said the newborn and his mother
both are currently doing well.
"The baby has oxygen saturation at 97.
Hopefully, they will be released from the
hospital within 1-2 days" he said.
On Saturday afternoon, Shilpi Begum, the
mother, accidentally delivered the baby girl
on a high commode of the toilet of maternity
ward.
The prematurely born baby slipped toilet's
pipeline and got stuck some metres below,
said baby's father Neyamat Ullah, a fisher
from Swarupkathi upazila in Pirojpur.
The hospital immediately informed the
nearby Fire Service office to rescue the baby.
But before they arrived Neyamat broke the
pipe on the second floor of the hospital
building and rescued the baby who suffered
slight bruises.
Pulitzer Prizes award Washington
Post for Jan. 6 coverage
NEW YORK : The Washington Post won the
Pulitzer Prize in public service journalism
Monday for its coverage of the Jan. 6
insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, an attack on
democracy that was a shocking start to a
tumultuous year that also saw the end of the
United States' longest war, in Afghanistan,
reports UNB.
The Post's extensive reporting, published
in a sophisticated interactive series, found
numerous problems and failures in political
systems and security before, during and after
the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in the newspaper's own
backyard.
The "compellingly told and vividly
presented account" gave the public "a
thorough and unflinching understanding of
one of the nation's darkest days," said
Marjorie Miller, administrator of the prizes,
in announcing the award.
Five Getty Images photographers were
awarded one of the two prizes in breaking
news photography for their coverage of the
riot.
The other prize awarded in breaking news
photography went to Los Angeles Times
correspondent and photographer Marcus
Yam, for work related to the fall of Kabul.
The U.S. pullout and resurrection of the
Taliban's grip on Afghanistan permeated
across categories, with The New York Times
winning in the international reporting
category for reporting challenging official
accounts of civilian deaths from U.S.
airstrikes in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Pulitzer Prizes, administered by
Columbia University and considered the
most prestigious in American journalism,
recognize work in 15 journalism categories
and seven arts categories. This year's awards,
which were livestreamed, honored work
produced in 2021.
