Two suffering from dengue in Panchkula
Panchkula, September 25
The district malaria officer, Dr R. Sarna, said 30-year-old Shankar, an employee of a sweetmeat shop in Mani Majra, was admitted to the hospital with a platelet count of 40,000. “We suspect he is suffering from dengue but investigations are still on. We have passed on the information of this case to our counterparts in Chandigarh,” he said. Meanwhile, Ram Singh and B.B. Bant, residents of the city, were admitted to PGI with a low platelet count. According to information available, Ram Singh, a resident of Sector 12, was admitted to PGI and later discharged. Sources said he was away to Rajasthan and could have contracted the ailment from there. “We immediately carried out fogging in the area around his residence and even carried out the container index test which indicated that mosquitoes were not a problem in the area in question. However, we took all precautions,” Dr Sarna stated. He added that the Sector 15 resident, Bant, was also admitted to PGI from where his office got the information. “We carried out fogging in the area of his residence as well. I will personally go and meet him tomorrow and make my inquiries,” he added. The health authorities said that fogging had already been carried out in areas from where dengue cases were reported last year. All colonies of the city have also been covered and the exercise to educate people about the precautions and symptoms of dengue, stressing on the need to check stagnation of water and regular cleaning of coolers and tanks was under way.

Indeed, after 24 years, Dhoni and his men have relived those glittering moments at Lord’s. This could not be attributed to sheer luck. It is definitely the resurgence of India. The win has certainly improved our position in the global domain
The young players have proved their mettle by performing on the world stage. Slogan “Chak De...” has brought about an awakening. There is a marked change in the mindset of parents, who now see brighter career prospects in sports 
It’s sheer fluke. This Twenty20 concept is catching up but its life is not long. ODIs and Test cricket ties are the real tests for players’ skills. It would be, too, early to say that there is going to be resurgence of India in sports 
Our win in the Twenty20 World Cup, no doubt, has created a history of sorts but we can’t say that it would help India to emerge as a sports hub. We will definitely cherish the win but its impact would not last long
