Colonel (time scale) Purohit Prasad Shrikant NEW DELHI: In a reprieve for Colonel (time scale) Purohit Prasad Shrikant, the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) has directed that his retirement be kept in abeyance until a decision is taken on his statutory complaint seeking consideration for promotion and other service benefits following his acquittal in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. He was due to retire on Mar 31.A bench comprising AFT chairperson Justice Rajendra Menon and administrative member Rasika Chaube passed the order while hearing a plea filed by the Army officer seeking promotion to the rank of Colonel and thereafter to Brigadier.Invoking the jurisdiction of the tribunal under Section 14 of Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, the applicant contended that he was denied promotions while facing a criminal trial after his arrest in 2008.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: US pounds Iranian missile sites near key Strait of Hormuz; Iran rains down cluster bombs on Tel AvivIran confirms death of national security chief Ali Larijani, president Pezeshkian offers condolencesLarijani Killing Escalates Conflict: Israel admits strike on Iran chief; Hormuz oil fears growIn its order passed on Mar 16, the tribunal issued notice to the Union govt and other respondents, asking them to explain as to why directives should not be issued to consider the officer’s case for promotion and grant of all consequential service benefits on a par with his batchmates or subordinates.On being contacted, a source in the Army told TOI, “Indian Army will examine the judgment and thereafter take action as per policy provisions.”Explaining the ‘Colonel (time scale)’ rank, the source said, “In the service bracket of 15-18 years, Lt Colonels are considered for promotion (by a promotion board). Around 30-50% of Lt Colonels become Colonels. The rest of them stay as Lt Colonels. Once these Lt Colonels complete 26 years of service and also have an impeccable service (record), they are given the rank of Colonel (time scale). Purohit completed 26 years of service long back.

Representative image NEW DELHI: India has made significant progress in reducing child deaths over the past three decades, but deaths among newborns are a cause for concern, the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation Report 2025 shows, reports Anuja Jaiswal.The country’s under-five mortality rate has declined from 127 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 27 in 2024. Since 2000, the rate has fallen from 92 to 26.6, a decline of about 71%.”India has emerged as a leading global exemplar in reducing child mortality, with neonatal deaths down nearly 70% and under-five mortality falling by 79% since 1990,” Union health minister Jagat Prasad Nadda said in a post on X, attributing the gains to sustained investments in maternal and child health.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: US pounds Iranian missile sites near key Strait of Hormuz; Iran rains down cluster bombs on Tel AvivIran confirms death of national security chief Ali Larijani, president Pezeshkian offers condolencesLarijani Killing Escalates Conflict: Israel admits strike on Iran chief; Hormuz oil fears growHowever, progress in reducing deaths among newborns has been slower. Neonatal mortality has dropped from 43.8 per 1,000 live births in 2000 to 16.7 in 2024, a reduction of about 62%.This gap means that newborns now account for the largest share of child deaths. Of the total under-five mortality rate of 26.6, about 16.7 deaths per 1,000 live births occurred in the first month of life in 2024, indicating that nearly two-thirds of child deaths are concentrated in this period.”Conditions like premature birth, birth asphyxia and infections are major causes, and gaps in care – such as missed high-risk pregnancies, poor monitoring during delivery and lack of trained staff – further increase the risk. Improving the quality of care during pregnancy, childbirth and the first few days after birth is critical to saving more lives,” said Dr Arvind Kumar, principal director and head of paediatrics, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh.In absolute terms, India records around 5.4 lakh under-five deaths annually, of which newborns account for nearly 3.9 lakh. Deaths among older children have declined more rapidly due to improvements in immunisation, nutrition and disease management.”In newborns, prematurity, birth asphyxia and sepsis are the leading factors, while in older children, pneumonia, diarrhoea and malnutrition are more common. Most of these deaths are preventable with proper antenatal care, early breastfeeding, good nutrition and timely immunisation,” said Dr Varun Vij, senior consultant, paediatrics and neonatology, Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket.The data shows under-five mortality declined at an average rate of about 3.6% per year between 1990 and 2024, with faster reductions after 2000.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
