It is a shame that the the additional Municipal Commissioner -Vijaysinh Patankar is blaming the media and accusing them of blowing the issue of deaths due to these diseases. These are preventable deaths only if the admin wuld do enough to keep the place clean.

What a statement to make "A look at the figures for July over the last five years will tell you that there is not much of a difference. This is a common feature at this time of the year and there is no need to panic.” This means the govt is welll aware that extra precautions are reqd during these months and additional resources needs to be pumped in eradicating the mosquitos etc., But is there nay value for human lkife for these beurocrats one wonders.

India's problem is its Govt and it servants!!

I agree with the last comment. And have to say the media is doing a commendable job of trying to make a difference, create awareness in the Indian society. And they cannot be blamed for doing their job, which even before independent has been just this. Educating the masses!

However, I would like to point out. I think a large percent of the blame must come on us as society on the spread of water born disease during the monsoon. How well do we look after our environment? How much do we as individuals value a human life? Can we actually blame the burro crates who we elect in to power despite being unfit to to hold the post they do!.
