Leave a Comment / / Health & Wellness Community

With swine flu (H1N1) and Influenza B cases rising in Delhi-NCR, hospitals are witnessing a surge in patients affected by the virus. Experts link this increase in cases to poor air quality, which has exacerbated the spread of infections. After the 2009 swine flu outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Director-General of Health Services warned that localized outbreaks would occur in the future. The current spike in New Delhi and nearby regions is a result of environmental factors, air pollution, and seasonal changes. What is Swine Flu (H1N1)? Swine flu is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the H1N1 virus, which originates in pigs but spreads among humans. The virus is transmitted through the air via coughs and sneezes or through contaminated surfaces. Symptoms of Swine Flu: Fever Cough Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose Body aches and fatigue In some cases, nausea and diarrhea How to Protect Yourself from Swine Flu: Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If no tissue is available, sneeze or cough into your elbow. Wash hands regularly with soap and water. Avoid touching your face (eyes, nose, mouth) to prevent infection. Stay away from sick individuals to reduce exposure. If feeling unwell, stay home to prevent spreading the virus. Treatment & Recovery: Most people with swine flu recover without medical intervention. Doctors recommend: Rest and hydration A light diet to boost immunity Staying indoors until symptoms subside Health experts urge residents in Delhi-NCR to take preventive measures and stay vigilant during the flu season.

Karnataka Govt to Table Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill After Budget on March 7

Leave a Comment / / Uncategorized

The Karnataka government is set to introduce the revised Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill in the upcoming budget session, following recommendations from a joint legislature committee that examined the proposal to split the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) into multiple corporations. The 13-member committee, formed in July 2024, submitted its report to the Assembly Speaker on Monday. Committee chairman Rizwan Arshad confirmed that the report would be presented in the Assembly soon after the governor’s address on March 3, with the Bill scheduled for tabling on March 7, following the state budget. The Congress government’s move to restructure the BBMP comes after opposition from the BJP when the Bill was initially tabled in the July 2024 monsoon session. The committee has recommended dividing the civic body into up to seven smaller corporations to improve governance and administration in the rapidly growing metropolis. “Initially, BBMP can be split into two or three bodies, but the Bill will allow the government to decide on further divisions as needed,” Arshad said, emphasizing that the restructuring is crucial for Bengaluru’s development over the next 20-30 years. Piloted by Bengaluru Development Minister D K Shivakumar, this marks the Congress government’s second attempt at restructuring BBMP, after a similar proposal between 2013-2018 was abandoned due to BJP opposition. The proposed Bill is expected to ignite fresh political debates, with stakeholders closely watching its progress in the Assembly. Source: Indian express
