TRIVANDRUM SPEAKING Issue 20 2009 March 29

(RNI No: KER MAL/2007/23150)

Propaganda that ruin the state and rabid dogs!

 

The propaganda that is ruining Govt. Treasury is going on very well as rabid

stray dogs are roaming all around the place freely. They are roaming all around

Trivandrum. People are running amok for treatment following rabid-dog bite. This

is the worry of the knowledgeable public-When shall the Govt. understand that

practical steps are necessary instead of propaganda.

   While the health dept. and realted officials had stated that thousands of the

new IDRV-Intra Dermal Rabies Vaccines are stocked at the General Hospital in the

city, none of these is being available to the people. When the Health minister

had announced that the first dose would be free of cost, the peple are being

asked to buy and give itfrom outside.

          Not less than 100 people seek treatment each day following Rabid-dog

bites.

       The officials at the general hospital, on the same day of the

inauguration of the new Anti-Rabies unit had said there was no stock of

vaccines. It is believed that this is the result

of a secret understanding between the officials and the private medice shops

opposite the General hospital lining the road near the State Drugs Control

office. There is a Govt.-Private agency mafia behind this fake scracity and

subsequent rise in demand.

 The television ads must be due to the feeling that Rabies-incidence is due to

the lack of awareness. What is the use of television ads with two film actors

dressed as tribal hunters uttering unsuitable dialogues using unrelated phrases

joined with the bark of a dog other than ruining the Govt Treasury and a bunch

of cash for the related persons?
