MTNL health mela to showcase ‘Dadima ke Nuske’ New Delhi, October 4 This concept would be well projected at the forthcoming MTNL Perfect Health Mela. The most sought after “Dadima Ke Nuske” will be on display at the mela on a day-to-day basis. Beginning on October 18, the 10-day mela is being organised in the Capital at Talkatora Ground in a move to provide awareness about the rising incidence of various physical and mental ailments and to promote much needed education about preventive strategies on a continuing basis. The mega event is being organised jointly by the Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI), Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), the NDMC and the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, in collaboration with the MCD, the IMA’s New Delhi branch, the Rotary Club of Delhi Heritage, Maheshwari Club and various departments of the Delhi Government. A number of new modules and novel concepts concerning total health will constitute the hallmark of the mela that will have a participation of more than 200 organisations from the government and non-government sectors and an expected attendance of over a million persons from Delhi and around. This information was given here today at a press meet by Dr K. K. Aggarwal, Mela President, who is also Executive Vice-Chairman, HCFI, Mr A. K. Girotra, Executive Director, MTNL, Mr Anuj Sinha, Advisor, DST, Mr Subhash Sharma, Chairman, NDMC, and Mr G. K. Tyagi, Vice-President, Tata Tea. Dr Aggarwal pointed out that “human body is the biggest pharmaceutical ornamentarium in the world and each one of us has the capacity to produce any drug in our body and heal ourselves. Only we have to learn to use the Vedantic software.” This concept will be well demonstrated at the forthcoming mela, Dr Aggarwal added. Giving further details of the mela, Dr Aggarwal said a consumer bazaar for display, distribution and discounted sale of health related goods was being set up at the mela. This bazaar was likely to be of special interest to the public. Another special feature of the mela would be that each of the 10 days would be earmarked for a particular subject or target group. Thus, there would be Women’s Day, Senior Citizen’s Day, Children’ Day, Doctors’ Day, AIDS Management Day and Spiritual Awareness Day that would include primordial sound meditation, yoga and meditation. For the first time, the health mela will have arrangements to tackle the increasing incidence of kidney disease that can lead to heart attack. Dr Aggarwal said that kidney diseases were now reversible, regressible and controllable, provided the disease was correctly diagnosed and handled. More than 10,000 people in Delhi are victims of advance renal failure and four times of these have silent disease. More than 1,000 people in Delhi undergo dialysis every month and 30 transplants take place. While urinary infection is a major cause of kidney failure, people taking too many painkillers are prone to get the disease. Dr Aggarwal also pointed out that the mela would emphasise on effective and cost-effective diagnostic measures and a cardiac lab was being set up to examine the patients on subsidised rates. Angiography would be made available to the mela visitors for as low as Rs 7,000 only in an arrangement with Metro Hospitals. The special Metro coronary screening package of Rs 7,000 would include blood screening echocardiography and coronary angiography through the elbow. In this procedure the person can go home or to work within an hour after the angiography is done. K L Chopra Body Mind Institute will set up a clinic at the mela. The clinic will deal with health not merely on physical grounds but also on mental, social, spiritual and environmental aspects. All ailments will be handled at the clinic without the help of drugs. The mela would not only be a showcase for medical advancement but would also provide free costly health check-ups by senior doctors. The check-ups will include those for thalassaemia, AIDS, TB, leprosy, eye, nose, throat, dental and blood pressure. |

MCD to hand over collection
of ‘tehbazari’ to NGO New Delhi, October 4 He said this step was planned in order to curb the exploitation of hawkers who have been legally allowed by the MCD to sell their items on ‘tehbazari’ basis. Reacting to the statement of BJP Councillor Vijender Gupta, in which he had alleged that the Congress Party had approved the proposal of awarding rights to collect “tehbazari” by an NGO with ulterior motives, Mr Jain said it had not yet been finalised. This is a proposal and will be discussed in the next meeting to be held on Monday. Giving an example of ‘Sodan Singh and Bombay Hawkers Union and others Versus Bombay Municipal Corporation’, he said that the Supreme Court had held that the right to carry out business for livelihood with reasonable restrictions is a fundamental right. The Court had observed that schemes should be framed to regulate the hawking business. In the context of the Court observation, Mr Jain said, the MCD has proposed to hand over the work of developing a small hawker market at Seva Nagar, CGO Complex to Manushi, an NGO. He said that this is only an experiment. If it proves to be successful, it will be extended to the other 12 zones of the Corporation. It will help to limit the exploitation of ‘tehbazari’ holders and hawkers. |
