Mumbai: Cop-Couple’s Son Skates to National Glory, Wins Gold and Bronze

Mumbai: Cop-Couple’s Son Skates to National Glory, Wins Gold and Bronze

Mumbai: Cop-Couple’s Son Skates to National Glory, Wins Gold and Bronze Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channe Mumbai: In a moment of pride for the Brihanmumbai Police, the 10-year-old son of two serving police personnel has etched his name on the national sporting stage by winning one gold and one bronze medal at the 69th School Games Federation of India (SGFI) National Skating Championship. Om Sainath Shinde, competing in the under-11 category, delivered an impressive performance at the national tournament held at ITM Global School, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The championship brought together the country’s best young skating talents, selected through a rigorous multi-level qualification process spanning district, zonal and state rounds. Only the top three skaters from each district progressed to the city-level selections, followed by zonal trials, with just a handful ultimately earning a spot at the national meet. Om’s journey through this demanding pathway highlighted not just his technical skill, but also his mental strength and discipline. The challenge intensified for the Mumbai-based skater in Gwalior, where temperatures dipped between 8°C and 10°C—a stark contrast to Mumbai’s humid climate. Despite the unfamiliar cold conditions, Om maintained balance, speed and precision, securing podium finishes against seasoned competitors from across India. Om’s mother, Bhagyeshri Sainath Shinde, shared insights into her son’s demanding routine. “His skating practice begins at 3.30 am and continues until 6 am. After that, he attends school from 8 am to 3 pm, followed by swimming or other physical training sessions in the evening,” she said. Both parents serve with the Brihanmumbai Police, working opposite shifts—Bhagyeshri on day duty and Om’s father, Sainath Kashinath Shinde, on night duty. Balancing professional responsibilities, including additional duties linked to ongoing municipal election work, alongside their son’s training schedule has been challenging. “It’s not easy, but we make it work because we believe in his dream,” she said. Crediting Om’s success to his unwavering focus and the guidance of his coach, Raj Singh, Bhagyeshri said the young skater is already aiming higher. “He wants to win an Olympic medal for India. This achievement has only strengthened his determination,” she added. Om Shinde’s success stands as a testament to discipline, family support and perseverance—proving that with dedication and the right guidance, young talent from Mumbai can shine on the national stage. — Undercover Editor News Edited by: Mahesh M.

Green Corridor Saves a Life: Brain-Dead Woman’s Heart Reaches Powai Hospital in Just 17 Minutes

Green Corridor Saves a Life: Brain-Dead Woman’s Heart Reaches Powai Hospital in Just 17 Minutes

Green Corridor Saves a Life: Brain-Dead Woman’s Heart Reaches Powai Hospital in Just 17 Minutes Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel Mumbai: In a powerful reminder of how compassion can triumph over tragedy, the heart of a 38-year-old brain-dead woman was successfully transported across Mumbai in just 17 minutes, giving a new lease of life to a critically ill patient awaiting a heart transplant. The donor, admitted to Mahaveer Jain Hospital in Thane, was declared brain-dead after suffering a hypertensive cranial bleed. Following confirmation by a panel of medical experts, her family took the brave and selfless decision to donate her organs — transforming their personal loss into hope for many others. Seamless coordination, swift action A specialised organ retrieval team was immediately mobilised. With close coordination between hospital authorities and the Mumbai Traffic Police, a green corridor was created to ensure uninterrupted movement of the donor heart. The heart was retrieved at 5:00 pm and transported swiftly to Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital in Powai, reaching the destination by 5:17 pm — a crucial time frame that made the life-saving transplant possible. New hope for a critically ill patient As per Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC) norms, the heart was allocated to a 60-year-old man suffering from end-stage heart failure. Doctors confirmed that the transplant surgery is currently underway, and the patient is being closely monitored. A message beyond medicine Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sameer Kulkarni, CEO of Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital, highlighted the urgent need for greater awareness about organ donation. He noted that over 80,000 patients in India are currently waiting for organ transplants, while the country’s donor rate remains below one donor per million population. Although India recorded its highest-ever number of organ transplants in 2024, the demand continues to far exceed availability. “Organ donation gives people a second chance at life. One donor can save up to eight lives and improve many more through tissue donation. It is one of the most powerful acts of humanity,” he said. A legacy of life This successful green corridor operation stands as a testament to medical teamwork, administrative efficiency, and above all, the extraordinary courage of a family that chose hope amid heartbreak — ensuring that even in death, life continues.

Mumbai Chawl Fire Claims Woman’s Life, Two Others Battle for Survival in Andheri East

Mumbai Chawl Fire Claims Woman’s Life, Two Others Battle for Survival in Andheri East Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel Mumbai: A tragic fire incident at a residential chawl in Andheri East has claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman, while two other residents remain in critical condition, civic officials confirmed on Sunday. The fire broke out in the early hours of December 21 at Vijay Nagar, Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar Chawl, triggering panic among residents of the densely populated area. According to the Mumbai Fire Brigade, the incident was reported at around 7:16 am and originated inside Room No. 10 on the first floor of a ground-plus-one chawl structure. Fire officials said the blaze was largely confined to electrical wiring, electrical installations, clothes, and mattresses within the room. Firefighters rushed to the spot and managed to bring the fire under control within half an hour. The blaze was completely extinguished by 7:44 am, preventing it from spreading further. However, the incident later turned fatal. Veena Pradip Bhoite, who sustained severe burn injuries in the fire, was admitted to Kasturba Hospital for treatment. Despite medical efforts, hospital authorities declared her dead at 10:03 pm on December 24, officials said. Two other residents — Namdeo Sakpal and Laxmi Sakpal — also suffered serious injuries in the incident. Both are currently undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Kasturba Hospital and are on oxygen support. Their condition continues to be critical, doctors said. Civic authorities have launched an inquiry to ascertain the exact cause of the fire, with preliminary findings pointing towards a possible electrical short circuit. Further investigation is underway. The incident once again highlights concerns over fire safety in densely populated chawl areas, where ageing electrical systems and congested living conditions pose serious risks to residents.
