Lucknow: In a remarkable medical feat, doctors at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) successfully performed a complex surgery on 14-year-old Ganesh, a boy from Kushinagar, who was born with a large congenital nasal protrusion.

MCD By-Elections: BJP Questions AAP’s Candidate List — Here’s the Full Story

New Delhi: The Delhi BJP has raised serious objections to the list of candidates announced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) by-elections. BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor alleged that AAP has violated norms and displayed hypocrisy in its candidate selection. According to Kapoor, AAP has fielded Keshav Chauhan, a male candidate, from Dhichkaun Kalan, a ward reserved for women. “This is a blatant disregard of election rules.
