Until July 9, 12,460 people have been infected, and 600 have succumbed to it. This is much more than the 2016 tally of 1,786 cases and 265 deaths, although it is nowhere near the outbreak of 2015, when 42,592 cases were reported and close to 3,000 people died. This year, Gujarat has recorded 75 deaths from 289 infections; Kerala, 63 deaths from 1,127 infections, Rajasthan, 59 from 407 reported cases; Karnataka 15 in 2,377 cases; Telangana, 17 deaths from 1,443 cases; and Tamil Nadu, 15 from 2,896. Some basic influenza do’s and dont’s are applicable to swine flu too. These include covering the mouth or nose while coughing and sneezing, washing hands frequently, avoiding crowded places, maintaining a distance from a person suffering from flu, avoiding handshakes, etc. Do not self-medicate.
Today evening Chennai experienced big rain with water flowing on most of the roads
ReplyDeleteTo ease the congestion in Koyambedu to Guindy roads, the Govt must think of reducing the Metro rail tariff equalent to that of Chennai MRTS ( Parakkum Rail).
ReplyDeleteLast year I travelled from Velachery Chennai Central with a ticket for just Rs.5.
But if we travel from Koyambedu to Alanthur the Metro train ticket is Rs.40.
If so how can we expect traffic from and to Koyambedu to be without being jammed.
The purpose of building Metro rail was only for smoothen the Traffic.
But it has not attained its sole aim.
In fact the RBI today identified 12 accounts each having more than Rs 5,000 crore of outstanding loans and accounting for 25 per cent of total NPAs of banks for immediate referral for resolution under the bankruptcy law.
Then where is the social cause in keeping the Metro rail fare in sky high level.
For the past several days the media as well as MET Department announce rain fall in Chennai and many parts of Tamilnadu. But as far as I have visited nowhere in TN there is enough or atleast minimum rain.
ReplyDeleteNEET became unavoidable in Tamilnadu because of the failures on the part of TN Government.
ReplyDeleteTamilnadu assembly passed a bill to abolish NEET in TN but the copy of it reached Govt of India only but was not sent to The President of India.
But in the case of Jallikattu OPS took the copy of Assembly Bill with him to Delhi and made it reach the President for his accent. Thus he achieved in allowing Jallikattu.
Secondly when the NEET case came up in High Court Chennai the CBSE engaged more than a Senior Lawyer to uphold the NEET in TN. But the Govt of TN had only GP of TN Govt ( a political appointee) to argue and so the HC upheld the NEET,
Finally the Govt of TN could have upgraded the education standard in the past 5 years but failed to do so inspite of the CBSE announcement of NEET implementation before5 years.
Now the Medical aspirants of TN are the ultimate losers. It is pity to speak to some twin subject centrum holders even after just pass in NEET being unable to get free admission seat in Govt Medical Colleges.
