Spread of Dengue
by Vikram on Oct 05, 2006 02:55 PM

We are the worst people in terms of taking care of our health. Not only our uneducated and illiterate people but even highly qualified people do not bother. No body is bothered about keeping our surrounding clean. We will have to pay price in terms of malaria, dengue, chicungunya and so on. Politicians are not bothered because pharma industries run on these diseases. Govt can enforce tax collection successfully but they cannot run small Municipal Corporation functioning. In 50 years we do not have anti-spitting law which could have prevented millions of people contracting TB and other illness. It's a national shame we can protect our self from dreaded infectious illness which can be prevented by simple steps. Don't blame on our people, it's our administration's responsibility that is what happens in all the western countries.
