Punjab Investment Summit merely a PR exercise, Majithia questions government over BMW plant claim Majithia demands CBI probe into alleged fake encounter of Ranjit Singh Chandigarh/Sri Hargobindpur 14 March ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Senior Bikram Singh Majithia, leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal and former minister, on Friday took a sharp dig at the Punjab Investment Summit, calling it nothing more than a public relations exercise. He said this was evident from the fact that none of the industrialists who attended the summit announced any major investment in the state. Questioning Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s claim about setting up a BMW plant in Punjab, Majithia asked where exactly the plant was. Referring to industrialist Lakshmi Mittal, Majithia said Mittal spoke about the refinery named after Guru Gobind Singh, but every child in Punjab knows who actually brought that refinery to the state.

Advanced dual-chamber leadless pacemaker saves woman at Max Hospital, Mohali
S.A.S.Nagar 14 March ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, successfully treated a 68-year-old woman suffering from recurrent fainting episodes for 3-4 days caused by a critically slow heart rhythm by implanting an advanced dual-chamber leadless pacemaker (AVEIR DR). The patient has suddenly lost consciousness at home. On evaluation, doctors discovered that her heart was beating abnormally slowly (25-30 bpm) due to a malfunction of the heart’s natural electrical system — a condition known as ‘severe bradycardia’. Such conditions can lead to dizziness, extreme fatigue, repeated fainting spells and, in severe cases, can become life-threatening, if left untreated.
After a detailed cardiac evaluation, the medical team led by Dr. Rakesh Sharma, principal consultant –cardiology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, recommended implanting an advanced dual-chamber leadless pacemaker (AVEIR DR) to regulate the patient’s heart rhythm.
The minimally invasive procedure was successfully performed using a catheter-based technique that allowed the device to be placed directly inside the heart without the need for traditional leads or a surgical pocket under the skin. The pacemaker works by delivering electrical impulses that maintain a normal heart rhythm and ensure proper coordination between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. The minimally invasive procedure was performed successfully, and the device now helps maintain proper coordination between the heart’s chambers, allowing the patient to recover well, said Dr. Rakesh Sharma.
