Paras Health Panchkula Successfully Performs Advanced Endoscopic Surgery to Repair Rare Recurrent Brain Fluid Leak

By 121 News
Panchkula, May 28, 2026:-Paras Health Panchkula has successfully treated a 56-year-old man suffering from a rare recurrent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak using a minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic surgical approach. The complex procedure helped prevent the risk of severe brain infection and ensured faster recovery without any external cuts.

The patient had been experiencing clear watery discharge from his right nostril for the past 3–4 months, which worsened whenever he bent forward — a common but often overlooked symptom of CSF rhinorrhoea, a condition where the protective brain fluid leaks through the nose due to a defect in the skull base.

Notably, the patient had previously undergone surgery nearly 8–9 months ago for a similar leak near the front part of the skull, which had healed successfully. However, further investigations revealed that increased pressure inside the skull had caused another weak area to develop a leak.

Advanced imaging investigations, including HRCT PNS and MRI Brain with MR Cisternography, identified a small defect in the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus — a deep sinus located behind the nose — along with protrusion of the brain lining through the opening.

The team of specialists at Paras Health Panchkula performed a transnasal endoscopic repair, a highly advanced minimally invasive technique carried out entirely through the nasal passages. During the procedure, surgeons carefully accessed the deep-seated defect, repositioned the leaking tissue, and repaired the opening using the patient’s own tissue along with specialized graft material to strengthen healing.

Following the surgery, the patient was monitored with a temporary lumbar drain for 72 hours to reduce pressure on the repaired site. He recovered well without any further leakage or complications.

Commenting on the case, Dr. Gaurav Sharma – Neurosurgery said that cerebrospinal fluid leaks are serious conditions that should never be ignored, as they can increase the risk of life-threatening brain infections like meningitis. In this patient’s case, the challenge was the recurrence of the leak at a different location due to raised intracranial pressure. Using advanced transnasal endoscopic techniques, we were able to safely access the defect through the nose, repair the leak precisely, and help the patient recover without the need for any external incision. Early diagnosis and timely treatment play a crucial role in preventing complications.

Adding further, Dr. Pankaj Mittal said that this successful case reflects the advanced clinical expertise and multidisciplinary approach available at Paras Health Panchkula. With modern minimally invasive technologies and experienced specialists, we are able to manage highly complex neurosurgical and ENT conditions with excellent patient outcomes. Our focus remains on delivering advanced healthcare solutions closer to patients in the region.

Doctors further highlighted that recurrent CSF leaks may occur in different parts of the skull base if the underlying issue of raised intracranial pressure is not addressed. Long-term management therefore also focuses on controlling brain pressure to prevent recurrence.

This successful case underscores the growing expertise in advanced minimally invasive neurosurgical and ENT procedures available at Paras Health Panchkula, enabling patients to access highly specialized care closer to home.

A Book on Unsung Hero of India's Freedom Struggle Dr Thakar Singh Ikolaha Presented to Governor Punjab

By 121 News
Chandigarh, May 28, 2026:-Rtn Hassan Singh Mejie, the great grandson of freedom fighter and philosopher, Dr. Thakar Singh Ikolaha, presented his biography to the Governor of Punjab Shri Gulab Chand Kataria at Punjab Lok Bhawan yesterday. 
Hassan Mejie informed the Governor Punjab about India’s most extraordinary yet unsung freedom fighter, who expressed keen interest in the story. 
A physician, statesman, and revolutionary, Dr. Thakar Singh was the first Secretary General of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and a former President of the Shiromani Akali Dal. 
His life reads like a forgotten chapter of history: arrested multiple times by colonial authorities for his unflinching commitment to India’s independence, he carried the struggle far beyond Punjab’s borders.
During his years in exile, Dr. Thakar Singh's residence in Canton, China, became a clandestine hub of the international freedom movement. It was here that revolutionaries including Ras Behari Bose, Raja Mohinder Partap Singh, and prominent Chinese freedom fighters and philosophers met regularly — strategizing, sheltering, and sustaining the dream of a free India. 
The house stood as a rare bridge between India’s independence movement and the wider Asian anti-colonial struggle.
The biography draws on rare letters, archives of Imperial Library in London, UK, SGPC records, newspaper clippings, and historic documents to reconstruct the life of a man who shaped institutions, defied empires, and yet remained absent from popular memory.
It traces his journey from village physician to political architect, from prison cells to international diplomacy, and restores his place among the pantheon of freedom fighters who chose conscience over comfort.
His great grandson Hassan Singh Mejie, said that this is not just Dr. Thakar Singh’s story,  he said that it is the story of countless unsung heroes whose sacrifices were foundational to 1947. 
He added that by remembering him, we remember what the freedom struggle actually cost — and who paid for it. 
The book explores themes of sacrifice, faith in action, transnational resistance, and the Sikh contribution to India’s independence. 
Hassan Singh Mejie is a leading businessman with operations in India, Dubai and UK, and a philanthropist managing a social enterprise Mehar Baba Charitable Trust, serving the 200 villages in Fatehgarh District of Punjab since 1998.

राइटर्स फोरम का अनावरण: प्रामाणिक साहित्यिक अभिव्यक्ति और समावेशी रचनात्मक संवाद को बढ़ावा देने का उद्देश्य

By 121 News
Chandigarh, May 27, 2026:- एक नए साहित्यिक समूह राइटर्स फोरम (डब्ल्यूएफ) का औपचारिक शुभारंभ चंडीगढ़ राजधानी क्षेत्र और उससे आगे के साहित्यिक समुदाय के लिए किया गया। इसका उद्देश्य लेखकों, कवियों, आलोचकों और साहित्य-प्रेमियों के लिए एक समावेशी, बौद्धिक रूप से समृद्ध और लोकतांत्रिक मंच तैयार करना है।

‘जहाँ शब्दों को अपनी आवाज़ मिले, जहाँ लेखक अपने समुदाय से मिलें’ — इस मूल विचार पर स्थापित यह मंच लोकप्रियता या सामाजिक प्रभाव की सीमाओं से परे जाकर प्रामाणिक साहित्यिक अभिव्यक्ति और सार्थक रचनात्मक सहभागिता को बढ़ावा देने का प्रयास करेगा।

यह मंच प्रसिद्ध कवयित्री और लेखिका सुधा अग्रवाल के नेतृत्व में स्थापित किया गया है। प्रेस वार्ता के दौरान उन्होंने कहा कि इस फोरम की स्थापना ऐसे साहित्यिक वातावरण की आवश्यकता से हुई, जहाँ लेखकों का सम्मान उनके विचारों की ईमानदारी और अभिव्यक्ति की शक्ति के आधार पर हो, न कि बाहरी मान्यता या सामाजिक प्रतिष्ठा के आधार पर।

उल्लेखनीय है कि सुधा अग्रवाल का कविता-संग्रह हिरायथ  वर्ष 2023 में टैगोर थिएटर में लॉन्च किया गया था। उनकी कविता-पुस्तक पर आधारित एक पिक्चर सहगल हाउस को द नैरेटर्स आर्ट सोसाइटी द्वारा रूपांतरित भी किया गया।

उन्होंने कहा कि राइटर्स फोरम केवल एक और साहित्यिक समूह नहीं है। यह एक गंभीर प्रयास है — ऐसा रचनात्मक समुदाय बनाने का, जहाँ लेखक निर्भय होकर स्वयं को व्यक्त कर सकें, सार्थक भागीदारी निभा सकें और संवाद तथा पारस्परिक सम्मान के माध्यम से सामूहिक रूप से विकसित हो सकें।

फोरम के उद्देश्यों पर प्रकाश डालते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि यह मंच उभरते लेखकों को आत्मविश्वास और गरिमा के साथ आगे बढ़ने के अवसर प्रदान करेगा, बिना किसी भय या दबाव के अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता को प्रोत्साहित करेगा, मौलिकता और वास्तविक प्रतिभा को संरक्षित करेगा, प्रत्येक सदस्य को नेतृत्व के अवसर देगा और गंभीर सुनवाई तथा सार्थक संवाद के माध्यम से सम्मानजनक साहित्यिक सहभागिता सुनिश्चित करेगा।

उन्होंने आगे कहा कि फ़ोरम का उद्देश्य लोकतांत्रिक सिद्धांतों पर कार्य करना भी है, जहाँ निर्णय सामूहिक रूप से बहुमत की सहमति से लिए जाएँगे ताकि पारदर्शिता और समान भागीदारी सुनिश्चित हो सके।
