Uttar Pradesh has been recording a spurt in dengue cases across the state. It has been found that a total of 2,462 patients have been diagnosed with the viral infection since May 15, and more than half of them were diagnosed in the last 25 days. Eight fresh dengue cases were reported in Lucknow, totalling 138, out of which, 10 cases are from the same area. The health department and the Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) across UP districts are on an alert and arrangements at hospitals, for medicines and dengue tests are being made. The CMOs, across the state, have fixed the rates for dengue tests and platelet readings. Also, separate wards will be prepared for dengue patients at hospitals in all districts. State Surveillance Officer Dr Vikasendu Agarwal said, "The situation is under control and all necessary further safety measures are already being taken." Dengue is caused by the bite of the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is characterised by a high fever, severe headache, and pain behind the eyes. Red rashes also appear on the body. Uttar Pradesh health department has advised people to remove unused items and use mosquito nets. This year, a total of 3354 dengue cases have been registered, out of which, there are four official deaths recorded, three in Bulandshahr and one in Firozabad. Districts like Gautambudh Nagar 403, Ghaziabad 310 and Kanpur 210 have the highest cases, along with Meerut 174, Morabadad 114, and Varanasi 84 cases this year. 12 new dengue cases have been reported in Kanpur in the last 24 hours, wherein nine patients have been shifted to the ICU ward. There are 210 active dengue patients in Kanpur. In the UP capital, Rs 1,200 is payable to get the NS1 ELISA test done in a lab and Rs 1,400 for giving the sample from home. With fresh guidelines, the price has been brought down to Rs 1000 for dengue tests and platelet count tests, in the lab, has been fixed at Rs 250 and for platelet testing at home, Rs 350 would be payable. The prices by the UP administration will prevent private players from increasing the prices of testing amid a surge of the dengue menace in the state. Further, the health department has issued an advisory to residents to remove unused items from rooftops and balconies, drain water from cooler tanks when not in use and use mosquito nets while sleeping. Speaking to India Today, Dr Deepa Tyagi, DG of Health Uttar Pradesh said, "The department is fully equipped with the testing and if there is any level 2 testing, that should be made ensured complete at the nodal centre. The department is on alert and every situation will be handled." Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led government, stating the hospitals were not well equipped. He took note of the increase in dengue cases in UP and said that the hospitals in the state were low on both doctors and medicine.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent.

His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
