Delhi in the grip of Chikungunya

New Delhi has today become the capital city of dengue and Chikungunya which is a matter of grave concern as the epidemic infected by virus could spread to other parts of India in the coming days.  It’s a scary situation as the disease has become uncontrollable amidst blame game between the AAP government and the centre stationed with both trying to score brownie points over each other at the expense of public health.

The court should intervene when there is medical emergency of this magnitude and ask government to take necessary steps to control this disease. A top level committee of experts should be appointed by the Supreme Court to look into the matter urgently and take all measures to not just to help patients recover but also take action against responsible persons so that the diseases can be prevented in future. A stitch in time saves nine and all Indian states should take preventive measures so that these diseases which can be fatal at times can be cured at the initial stage by public awareness and education!
