The medical board formed by the government to check up on the health of BNP chief Khaleda Zia has not found any ‘pressing concerns’, says Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital Director Brigadier General Abdullah-Al-Harun.
The doctors on the team recommended that the BSMMU facilities would suffice if Khaleda wishes to be admitted to a hospital.
Asked about the findings of the board, Abdullah-Al-Harun said: “They say there were no major new health issues.”
Khaleda had previously been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, he said. She experiences pains in her arms and back because of it and the doctors have made arrangements for it, he said.
The 73-year-old did not have any heart, blood pressure or diabetic issues, Abdullah-Al-Harun said.
“The medical board has treated her. If she still believes that she needs to be admitted to a hospital, then she can be admitted to a hospital with disciplined care,” Abdullah-Al-Harun said citing the members of the medial team.
In that case they recommended that she be taken to BSMMU, according to Abdullah-Al-Harun.
At least 91 people were killed when Indonesia’s resort island of Lombok was hit by a powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake on Sunday, triggering widespread panic as thousands fled their homes for emergency shelters as buildings collapsed.
The death toll is expected to rise with 209 injured and thousands of houses damaged, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said in a statement on Monday.
Singapore Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam, who was on the 10th floor of a hotel in the Lombok town of Mataram at the time of the quake, wrote on Facebook that his room shook violently and walls cracked.

“It was quite impossible to stand up. Heard screams. Came out, and made my way down a staircase, while building was still shaking. Power went out for a while. Lots of cracks, fallen doors,” he wrote.
Most of the victims were killed by falling rubble in northern and western parts of Lombok.
An initial tsunami warning of waves of up to half a metre was issued following the quake but later withdrawn.
Lombok was hit by another powerful 6.4 quake a week earlier on July 29, killing 17 people and injuring hundreds of people.
More than 100 aftershocks have rattled Lombok since the quake, which was so powerful it was felt on the neighbouring island of Bali.
“The night condition and some disconnected communication lines pose some challenges in the field. Death count is expected to increase still,” the disaster management agency said.

I Nyoman Sidakarya, head of Mataram’s search and rescue agency, told TvOne, authorities will evacuate around 700 tourists and local residents from the nearby Gili Islands.
“We will evacuate people off of the three Gili islands. Some of them are hurt and are in shock,” Sidakarya said in the televised interview.
One person in Gili Air was killed, he said, but details about the victim is unknown yet.
Saffron Amis, a British student visiting the Gili Islands off the northwest coast of Lombok, told Reuters by text message that dozens of tourists were evacuated to a hill after the quake.
The quake struck Lombok in the early evening at a depth of 10 km or 6 miles.
Most of Lombok suffered power cuts, local media reported.
Travellers at the international airports in Lombok and Bali were thrown into panic and there was minor damage to the buildings but operations were not disrupted, officials said.
The quake was felt for several seconds in Bali, where people ran out of houses, hotels and restaurants.
“All the hotel guests were running, so I did too. People filled the streets,” said Michelle Lindsay, an Australian tourist. “A lot of officials were urging people not to panic.”
Other witnesses said the initial quake grew in intensity over several seconds, rattling windows and doors, and there were many aftershocks.
The United Nations has expressed concern for the safety of children and young people in the ongoing protests for safe roads in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh.
It has “urgently” called upon all parties to keep everyone – including children and young people – safe on the roads and safe from any kind of violence.
“Students and young people have a legitimate right to speak out on issues of concern to them including road safety issues and to have their opinion heard without the threat of violence,” it said in a statement on Sunday.
“It is a matter of deep concern that a number of young people taking part in demonstrations in the capital have been injured over the last few days. Many schools have been closed as a result of the protests, depriving children of learning opportunities,” it added. The statement quoted UN Resident Coordinator Mia Seppo as saying, “We are deeply concerned about the reports of violence and call on all for calm. The concerns expressed by youth about road safety are legitimate and a solution is needed for a mega city like Dhaka. A functioning public transport system should ensure the safety of all, including children, young girls and women.”
The UN has long campaigned for better road safety across the world and traffic accidents in Bangladesh are one of the major killers of young people, the world body said.
There are more than 20,000 road fatalities every year in Bangladesh, it added, citing a World Health Organization report.
The students in Bangladesh are protesting for justice and road safety measures after a bus crushed two of their peers to death and injured several others in Dhaka last Sunday.
The protesters clashed with the police, pro-government youths and transporters at different parts of the capital during the weeklong demonstrations.
Journalists covering the demonstrations have also been attacked and injured.
Chanel Lewis was
filled with lethal rage when he grabbed Veteran as she went for a summer evening
run in Queens, according to authorities. He raped her and strangled the petite
runner, they said, and left her body in weeds.
And then he vanished for
six months.
Detectives had little to work with to find the man who
crossed Vetrano’s path. She scratched him and captured some of his DNA, but he
had no record so no match could be made. The randomness of the attack added to
the difficulty of solving the crime. It took months of searching the area and
records, a cop’s suspicions, to finally land Lewis.
She wasn’t being
stalked or targeted. It was just that jogger Karina Vetrano was a woman, and the
man accused of killing her hated women.

“He gave a detailed

happened. It was a very random thing. He just came up on her and acted out.
There wasn’t any conversation. It was a chance encounter. There was no reason to
believe he was stalking her. He just happened to come up on her. ”

after Lewis was arrested Saturday evening outside his home in East New york, a
profile began to emerge of one of the most wanted and unsuspecting men in the
city.
Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you don't have a clue where your car is. Then you start roaming around clicking on the panic button on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be frustrating, especially on a hot, sunny day.
