Jincy Aby liked the topic Cwar may erupt with higher castes also asking for reservations.
close on the heels oof agitatioin by Patells in GUJARAT, the JATS in HARYANA have launched a agitation to be included in reservation. Both these castes are well off, but they also have poor people. other higher castes will also follow suite. already the sikh jats are also demanding reservation'. this has the making of a class conflict of castes and may well spell doom for Hinduism and also India. so sad by giving reservations the founding fathers and following politicians never realised this.

Agreed caste system cannot be eradicated. In this regard I appreciate the views of M.G, Singh who already said, that these conditions are leading to Civil war,

Government slams labs for Zika bluff: Health ministry pulls up private players for trying to 'cash in' on public health scare

The global Zika scare has put the government on alert.
A day after leading pathology labs and diagnostics chains made announcements of rolling out test kits for the deadly virus, the Union Ministry of Health pulled up private players, saying they cannot cash in on a public health emergency.
Dr Jagdish Prasad, Director General of Health Services (DGHS), in the Union health ministry, said: “We called upon the private labs making such statements. In the current scenario, all the testing and research has to be done through approval of the government. No firm can cash in on a public health emergency like the Zika virus which has become a sensitive issue across the globe. The health ministry is fully equipped in research and testing of Zika. We are actively working on averting any kind of outbreak in the country.”
While Dr Lal Path Labs had reportedly said they were importing test kits for Zika, SRL Diagnostics claimed they are working on new technologies to detect the head-shrinking virus and may come up with tests soon.
The private labs reportedly quoted the cost of test around Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 and said the test will be available by mid-March this year.
The ministry has also summoned Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, which claimed that it has world’s first Zika vaccine samples.
“We have also summoned Bharat Biotech that has claimed to have the first vaccine for Zika virus in the current scenario when there is no vaccine anywhere in the world. We want to check the authenticity of the claim and why they are announcing it without informing the government,” Dr Prasad added.
Firm’s claim In a press statement issued on Wednesday, Dr Krishna Ella from Bharat Biotech said: “The company has two ZikaVac vaccine candidates in development; one is a recombinant vaccine and another inactivated vaccine that has reached the stage of pre-clinical testing in animals.”
On Friday, however, most of the private players back-tracked.
Dr Vandana Lal from Lal Path Labs said: “We don’t want to talk on this matter. We don’t have any tests for Zika virus and we are also not importing any test kits for the same. If at all we plan to do something, we will take the government’s prior permission.” Dr BR Das, president (research and innovation) at SRL Diagnostics, too, said the lab currently has no technology for battling Zika.
“We however have a robust research and development facility in place, but we will only begin something if the government asks us to. We abide by the government and will only chip into research and technology on Zika if the government tells us,” Dr Das told Mail Today.
Guidelines in place
Earlier this week, the ministry had issued guidelines on Zika along with a comprehensive travel advisory.
The ministry also said currently, National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Delhi and National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune have the capacity to provide laboratory diagnosis of Zika in acute febrile stage.
These institutions were marked as the apex laboratories to support the investigation and for confirmation of laboratory diagnosis.
“The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) will strengthen 10 additional laboratories to expand the scope of laboratory diagnosis. RT-PCR test is the standard test for the disease.
"As of now, there is no test available for Zika commercially. And we have not recommended any serological tests. Also, there is no vaccine or drug available to prevent or treat Zika virus disease at present,” said Dr Prasad.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Zika a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on February 1, 2016.
Zika virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947

Two years before, we paid Rs.3000 online for Aakash Tablet. But we didn't get the tablet yet. This is a business trick of some efficient business-men for collecting huge amount of money from people in an illegal way. But it is a fact that people who earn money in a wrong way will not last for long days.

Marriage is the union of husband and wife. They need to live together to lead a happy married life. Otherwise, there is no meaning for marriage. If a husband or a wife get a chance to go abroad for a long time, they need to try for family visa as soon as possible. Husband, wife and children should live together. Otherwise, it may lead to many other problems and their family life will be a big failure.
