Delhi and the nearby areas have reported a number of cases of Dengue. A number of deaths have also been reported. And it is not only the poor people who are affected.
Doctors around the world can suggest remedies which can go a long way in helping the needy.
The people, at large, should also understand the need for a clean environment for it is the mosquitos breeding in water that is causing this disease. Let us not leave job of cleansing to the Municipal authorities only. No doubt, it is their duty, but we should also take care for our own safety. No one knows who will be the next person to get affected by Dengue.
Each colony should form their association and come out with a drive to see that immediate action is taken to keep the surroundings clean. Where need be the Municipal authorities or the local politician's help could be sought.

HELP SOUGHT
Can some one suggest some bright idea to dispose off polythene bags? I do not know of other countries but in India the use of these non-environment friendly bags are creating a lot of problems. One can see heaps of these bags at the garbage collection centres. They choke the drainiage system. The authorities have banned the use of certain varieties in some states - voluntary organisations have been asking people to use paper bags instead - but the sheer economy upsets all good intentions. These bags are cheap, easily available in bulk, are of multifarious use. Still to make a better tomorrow some bright person would have to come out with a bright idea. Why not you?
Return of 'PRINCE'
Hats off to the team who brought out the six year old 'Prince' in the remote Haldera (Kurushetra) in Haryana state of India. Must compliment the role of electronic media too. It is their telecast which I feel set in motion the greatest of all efforts to save an individual in India. For the benefit of those who have not heard/read of this story - a six year old child fell in a 60 feet deep well just 16 inch in diameter on Friday night. It was only on Sunday evening that the child could be rescued, after some fifty hours of captivity.
The learning lesson is that why we do not take care of such openings in the fields - why this 16 inch well was left open? And mind you this may not be only one of its kind - many more may be there all over - may not be this deep. If only, each one of us are a little more responsive such tragedies could be avoided and please dont wait for the authorities to act.
