Ten more die of malaria in Delhi, toll reaches 16 : HT

The monsoon is over but diseases spread by mosquitoes continue to stalk Delhi.

Ten more malaria deaths were added to the official data, taking the total to 16, shows the weekly report released by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

The death toll is shockingly high because the MCD has confirmed only 31 malaria cases to date, which indicates the malarial parasite killed half of those infected.

Malaria is a parasitic disease spread by mosquitoes that causes fever, headache, chills and vomiting. It’s a curable disease and people die only if they do not get treated in time either because they remain undiagnosed or can’t reach a healthcare centre.

This is the first time in five years that malaria deaths have been reported in Delhi. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Problem (NVBDCP), the national body that monitors outbreak of vector-borne diseases, has reported ‘0’ malaria deaths in Delhi since 2012.

The first malaria death reported this year was that of 31-year-old Praveen Sharma, who died of cerebral oedema — accumulation of excess fluid inside the brain — and multi-organ failure at Safdarjung Hospital on September 4.

The toll of malaria reported this year is higher that the deaths related to dengue or chikungunya reported by the corporation this year. To date, the corporation has reported 6 deaths due to dengue and none related to chikungunya.

However, HT has independently confirmed 25 deaths due to dengue and 20 related to chikungunya.

What is interesting is that the deaths have been reported during a week when no malaria cases were reported by the corporation.

This is the case with the dengue and chikungunya report as well.

The corporation, to date, has reported 4,305 cases of dengue, with 105 reported during this week, and 9,633 cases of chikungunya, with 108 reported this week.

However, doctors across the city have been receiving hardly any cases of dengue or chikungunya now. “We see a few sporadic cases -- I have seen only one case of dengue and one of chikungunya in the last five days. But, the vector borne diseases peaked during the last week of September and the beginning of October and the numbers started going down after,” said Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, senior consultant of internal medicine at indraprastha Apollo hospital.

E Mail from PM : Give your feedback on 500/1000 rupee Demonetisation

Narendra Modi

28th Nov. at 8.26 pm

Dear Ji ,

 

A few days ago I had appealed to the people of India to tell me what they feel about the Government’s decision on 500 and 1000 Rupee notes ceasing to be legal tender. I was delighted to note that since my asking, over 10 lakh people from the length and breadth of India have shared their feedback on the ‘Narendra Modi App’.

 

I request you to please take part in the survey and enrich it with your valuable views.

 

The decision that Government took on 8th November is inspired by the collective will to take India to new heights of progress. It is high time we uproot the evils of corruption and black money, which were hampering the growth of India. 

 

I am fully aware that the people of India are facing temporary hardships. However, these temporary hardships will pave way for a glorious future and build an India that is strong, prosperous and inclusive.

 

The ability of the people of India to withstand and overcome short-term pain for long term gain has humbled me and given me more energy to work for the development of India.

 

I again request you to take part in the survey and share your honest and unbiased opinion. This will be extremely helpful for me personally and for the Government. Click on the following link to download the App and take part in the survey- http://nm4.in/dnldapp

 

Jai Hind,
Narendra Modi

Economy may slow down - atleast for some time

Note Ban to slow down economy, warn experts. Unorganised sector which provides 80% jobs, to be hit the hardest, consumption expenditure set to shrink. Those who got a hike in the salary under the seventh pay commission may be happy but the truth is Many factories are in the process of shut down after this notebandi. No more job possibilities there in such units resulting into mass retrenchment. What next ?

सोच कर जवाब दीजिए !

ये कैसी राजनीति चल रही है. हर कोई अपनी पार्टी लाइन पे चल कर अपने नंबर बनाने मे लगा हुआ है. देश हित से किसी को कोई भी मतलब नही. अगर आपकी पार्टी ने कह दिया कि समर्थन करना है तो सभी समर्थन के नारे लगाने लगते हैं और अगर आपकी पार्टी ने कह दिया कि विरोध करना है तो सभी विरोध करने लगते हैं. यानी कि इस देश का भविषय हम देश के नागरिक तय नही करेंगे बल्कि वो राजनीतिक दल करेंगे जो पल पल मे, अपनी राजनीतिक जोड़ तोड़ मे, अपना दामन बदलते रहते हैं क्या कभी हम लोगों को अकल आएगी, या फिर भेड बकरियों की तरह, कोई ना कोई, हमेशा, हमे हांकता रहेगा ? सोच कर जवाब दीजिए.
