One more dies of dengue; another in hospital
Chandigarh, October 4
This is the second death of a dengue patient in the PGI during the last three days. According to information, Priyanka was admitted at the government multispeciality hospital yesterday and was referred to the PGI today. Against just one case of dengue reported from the city till September last year, the number this year has already touched 13. The health authorities are closely watching the situation as the following three months i.e. October to December witnessed 181 cases of dengue here last year. Teams of Chandigarh health department have started fumigating target areas after another patient, Roop Lal, with the disease from Sector 46 was admitted to the PGI here today. A resident of Sector 32, Nagma (14), died of the disease on Tuesday. With this, the number of dengue patients reaching city hospitals has gone up to 46, including 13 from the city and remaining from Punjab and Haryana. Four patients suffering from dengue belonging to Uttar Pradesh and one from Uttarakhand had also been admitted to the PGI. Six patients from Mohali and three from Panchkula had been admitted to city hospitals. Ten cases from other parts of Punjab had also reached here. Similarly, nine patients from parts of Haryana had been admitted here. Teams of health department conducted house-to-house survey in Sectors 32, 46 and 47. Orders have been issued to fumigate the area, said Dr M.S. Bains, director, health services, Chandigarh. Dr J.S. Thakur of the department of community medicine, PGI, said breeding conditions for Aedes aegypti mosquito responsible for the diseases were conducive in the region and preventive measures adopted by the administration could not bear any results without the participation of the common man. “The mosquito is a peri-domestic vector and breeds in clean water accumulated at places like containers lying on roofs and open places, air-coolers, overhead tanks and used tyres,” said Dr Thakur.

Stage set for cliffhanger
Chandigarh, October 4 Trailing Rashid Khan by five strokes, Rahul began well sinking birdies on the fifth, seventh and ninth holes, while conceding a bogey on the sixth for a two-under in the front nine. In the return nine, he played a par game with two bogeys and two birdies for a two-under card of 70-the best of the tournament so far. On the other hand, the caddie golfer from Delhi found the course a little tough as he bogeyed twice for a two-under in the first nine. A par return nine saw him return with a card of 74 for a three-day aggregate of 219. With just one stroke separating the two, the finale tomorrow is expected to be an exciting affair. Last year, the two had tied and Rahul had won on a playoff on the home turf. Rahul said, "I was putting well today. The course is playing a bit tougher, but I will be playing my natural game." Five strokes behind Rahul was Abhijit Chadha with Wasim Khan another two strokes behind with 227. Ashbeer Saini of Kapurthala played a par game today as he took a three-stroke lead over Raghav Bhandari after the third round in Category C (13 to 15 years).
