Man Robbed, Loses Leg. Cops Take Him To Hospital, Leave Limb Behind

A labourer was robbed of Rs 500 by four men and his leg was held on a railway track until a train ran over it, severing the limb, in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain on Wednesday. He lost consciousness after that and says personnel from the Government Railway Police (GRP) arrived a few hours later and took him to a hospital, but left the severed leg behind despite him pleading with them. It was only the next morning that the man managed to convince a different set of personnel that the leg was near the tracks and it was fetched. Over 12 hours had elapsed by then and it was too late to even attempt a surgery to reattach it. When senior GRP officials were asked about the incident, they denied the man was robbed but had no explanation for why they had left the leg behind or why it took half a day to get it. From his hospital bed in Ujjain's Charak hospital, Lakha, a resident of Palduna village, recalled the horror: "I work as a labourer near the station. Around 8 pm, I was returnin...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
