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.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn...
