After successfully combating the second COVID-19 wave and ramping up all the healthcare efforts, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed his officials to make all the necessary preparations for flood control.

To reduce the impact of floods, especially in vulnerable districts, preemptive measures have been taken by the Yogi Government including the better management of dams.

“Permissible assistance should be provided to the people affected by the disaster within 24 hours,” said CM Yogi while addressing a high-level meeting.

The Chief Minister also directed all the District Magistrates and police officials to visit the sensitive districts and make all the necessary arrangements for relief material and dry ration in the sensitive districts, he added.

“The quality of the packet in which a dry ration will be distributed should be good,” said CM Yogi on Saturday.

Medical Kits For Children From June 26

CM Yogi tasked the Nigrani Samitis to start a special extensive campaign of door-to-door screening of the villages to identify children with symptoms like fever, cough and providing them with medicine kits from June 26.

Under the campaign, the Nigrani Samitis will provide medicine kits to the children. The children are divided into four groups— 0-1 years, 1-5 years, 5-12-year-olds, and those aged between 12 and 18 years.

Special Cleanliness Drives

As monsoon season invites all kinds of water and mosquito-borne diseases including Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria, Encephalitis, the state government has asked to ensure regular sanitation and fogging drives to curb the threat of water-borne diseases. Along with this, special cleanliness drives are going to be run by the Municipal Corporations Municipalities and Nagar Panchayats.

Anti Larva Spray and IRS

Anti-larva spraying and the work of Indoor Residue Spray (IRS) especially from DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) in all districts have been intensified. IRS is the process of spraying the inside of dwellings with an insecticide to kill mosquitoes that spread malaria.

Under the action plan for effective prevention of vector-borne diseases, gambusia fish has been put in ponds of most of the districts of the state. These fishes play a vital role in eliminating the larvae.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
