PIONEER NEWS SERVICE n LUCKNOW

abinet minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi, on Tuesday Claunched ‘Rotavirus vaccine’ in the state to save children from diarrhoea caused by this particular viral strain. A workshop was conducted to sensi- tise the participants on the importance of the work so that they could spread awareness and educate the masses about the importance of this vaccine. Addressing the gathering, Joshi said: “Rotavirus can cause extreme diarrhoea in children and can even be fatal in some cases. I am extremely happy that we have inducted the Rotavirus vaccine in the routine immunisation programme which will protect our children from this deadly virus. “Director general, Family Welfare, Neena Gupta said: “More than 2.1 crore doses of Rotavirus vac- cine have been administered to children till May 2018. During the initial period of Rotavirus vaccine intro- duction only the infants coming for the first dose of OPV and pentavalent will be administered the Rotavirus vaccine. We will be protecting 57 lakh (approximately) newborns every year against Rotavirus diarrhoea with the introduction of this vac- cine.” Emphasising on the importance and use of this vaccine, national immunisation officer AP Chaturvedi said: “All newborns should be administered the Rotavirus vaccine in a 3-dose schedule at 6, 10 and 14 weeks along with 5 drops of pentavalent 1, 2 and 3 vaccine. With this launch, Uttar Pradesh becomes the 11th state in the country to introduce Rotavirus vaccine as a part of the routine immunisation pro- gramme, ensuring complete prevention from Rotavirus.” He said that the people could get their infants vaccinated at any hospital as it would be avail- able at all the CHCs, PHCs and other government ones free of cost. Citing the statistics, Chaturvedi said that in the entire country nearly 10 per cent of the deaths occurred because of diarrhoea under the age group of 5 years which equalled a figure of 1.2 lakh. He said that nearly 78,000 deaths amongst children occurred due to Rotavirus diarrhoea. He said that nearly 32.7 lakh patients visited the OPD and 8.72 were hospitalised for it. He added that nearly 59,000 deaths occurred in children below the age of two years because of this virus. Class IX boy hangs self, police rubbish ‘Momo Challenge’ rumours PIONEER NEWS SERVICE n LUCKNOW

class IX student ended his life at his house in ASaadatganj police area on Monday night report- edly after not being allowed to go to a Janmashtami fair in the locality all alone. However, there was a buzz in the locality that that the boy took the extreme step as a part of the game that he was playing on his smartphone on Monday night. As per reports, the boy, identified as Utkarsh Sahu of Old Pan Dariba in Saadatganj, was spotted hanging from the ceiling with a bedsheet tied around his neck around 11 pm on Monday. He was let off the noose by his parents and later rushed to KGMU Trauma Centre where doctors declared him “brought dead”. Soon after the news reached the locality, neighbours informed the police. SHO, Saadatganj, Neeraj Ojha said Utkarsh was scolded by his parents as he insisted to go to a Janmashtami fair in the locality on Monday night. “Utkarsh took it seriously and ended his life when his parents got busy in Janmashtami puja preparations,” he said, adding that the body had been sent for autopsy and further investigations were underway. The area remained abuzz with rumours that Utkarsh ended his life as part of the ‘Momo Challenge’, a game akin to the ‘Blue Whale Challenge’ which claimed several lives across the word. However, the SHO dismissed the reports as rumours. “Nothing of this sort has surfaced in the investiga- tion made so far. Utkarsh’s parents also denied that he was playing some game. Some unscrupulous ele- ments spread the rumours. They were also claim- ing that Utkarsh’s father Sheetla Prasad was a review officer and it turned out to be a false claim during the probe,” the SHO said. He said that Sheetla Prasad used to give tuitions to students. He added that the family had moderate income and Utkarsh’s parents were wary of his future.

AP n MILAN

taly coach Roberto Mancini bemoaned the dearth of IItalian players in Serie A as he focuses on youth in his attempt to get the Azzurri back to the top of inter- national football. The national team is at a low point after missing the World Cup for the first time in nearly six decades. According to statistics cited by Italian national news agency Ansa, only 30 percent of footballers who play their trade in Serie A are eligible to play for the nation- al team - compared to 60 percent 12 years ago. "The use of Italian players has never been so low here and so we need to invent something," Mancini said on Monday. "So for that reason I have called up certain players. Because I believe that there are very good Italians, cer- Germany football players attend a training session ahead of UEFA Nations League opener against France on 7th September.

Mancini announced his squad on Saturday for Italy's opening Nations League matches against Poland and Portugal. Five players received their first calls, including 17- year-old Monaco forward Pietro Pellegri.
