A toddler trying to wake his dead mother up at a railway station in Bihar was too heavy to bear. It has moved not only onlookers in the station but also the men and women in the entire country who watched this incident over televisions
Utter disregard to humanity
A toddler trying to wake his dead mother up at a railway station in Bihar was too heavy to bear. It has moved not only onlookers in the station but also the men and women in the entire country who watched this incident over televisions.
Ruling dispensations at the Central and the State levels must introspect whether such pathetic deaths are due to improper planning in combating something like corona. On one side, the rich people are purchasing two flight tickets to travel with enough physical distance, and on the other, destitute migrants are dying in distress. Is this not a perfect example of dichotomy in the country? One more thing for everyone's introspection: the meaning of humanity seems to have changed in the present scenario.
Most of the onlookers were capturing the scene into their mobile phones than coming to the rescue of small toddler who was trying to search for a drop of water from a tap. Putting all other things on hold, the government must alleviate the hardships being faced by migrant labour.
Special teams must be formed by each State to intercept the workers who are on foot to reach their homes and provide conveyance. Please hurry up to prevent such incidents in the immediate time.

Corona patients deserve better treatment
It is said that the Supreme Court has mooted a direction stating that the private hospitals across the country have to be prepared to take in patients of corona pandemic. The administrations of various top-notch health centres in India have to provide treatment priced at affordable rates or depending on the financial status of the public, opt for free treatment. It is like a wonder that why the private hospitals are fooling around without any concern except for various precautionary interviews telecast on channels or other media platforms. It is undeniably true that if corona-hit patients are taken in, there is a threat to other patients who either visit hospitals or who are already there as in-patient for other ailments. The council of medical authorities have to figure out some plan to deal with such a situation both liberally and with an iron hand so as to ensure assurance to all the deprived or the depressed ones leading a heartrending life in the isolated quarantine centres. The quarantine centres are not suitable for stay and we sincerely request the medical authorities to provide good, habitable place for the patients.

Beware of locusts
This is with reference to the report 'TS gets ready to face threat from Pakistan Swarms' (May 28). There is a lot of euphoria that Telangana State would soon be a rice bowl of the country as a sequel of improvement in agriculture infrastructure and irrigation facilities. Cultivable land expanded with an estimated yield of one core MTs. The Chief Minister is a visionary and he is utilising 1,300 TMC ft of water in Godavari and Krishna. There is availability of water for irrigation from tanks under Mission Kakatiya scheme and also due to the 24-hour-free power supply to farm sector.
With projects linked to wells and bore-wells, there is a possibility of having two crops in 1.45 crore acres and three crops in 10 lakh acres. In the midst of high expectations of Telangana becoming the rice bowl of India, the country has been passing through obliterate events.
With swarms of locusts damaging crops in neighbouring Maharashtra, the Telangana State Agricultural officials have now sounded an alert.
A locust is a large, mainly tropical grasshopper, with strong powers of flight, and it migrates in vast swarms. Desert Locusts are species that damage crops and green vegetation for fodder.
The desert locust is said to be the most destructive migratory pest in the world and a single swarm covering one square kilometre would contain up to 80 million locusts. In Maharashtra, officials and farmers are trying to control the locusts using different containment measures like using pesticides. Beware of its entry into Telangana and begin preventive measures.
