Thiruvananthapuram: Three suspected dengue deaths,  one each in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Kottayam, have occurred during the last four days.  As many as 14,657 fever cases and 118 dengue cases have been  reported in the state.

Ushakumari, a native of Pattazhi, Kollam, died on Tuesday morning at Medical College Hospital after being under treatment for fever. The relatives alleged that the death happened  due to the negligence of  doctors and filed a complaint with the Medical College police station. She was brought  to the hospital on Monday night.

The other suspected dengue deaths were of Mary Kutty John, 69, of Muttuchira who died on Tuesday and Sherli chacko, 39, of Kollam who died on June 1. The state has also reported 12 cases of leptospirosis with seven in Thiruvananthapuram.

In Ernakulam, dengue cases were reported from Kalady, Payipra, Naya-rambalam, Mulavukadu, Keezhumadu and Kanji-ramattom. In Kozhikode, in addition to dengue, one case of malaria and five cases of jaundice were also reported. Malappuram and Waya-nad reported eight and three cases  of jaundice respectively.

Meanwhile, Health minister V.S. Sivakumar has announced a special package for Pathanamthitta to control the spread of infectious diseases. At the health adalat organised in Pathanamthitta, he said that the state vector control team will camp in the district to assist the preventive steps  in areas where more cases of dengue fever are reported.

In a review meeting held after the adalat, he directed the DMO to buy enough fogging machines for the district. A district-level toll free number will also be started to help the people.

The DYFI workers held a march to the DMO offices of Thiruvananthapuram and Thrissur alleging that shortage of staff has affected the functioning of many hospitals  and demanded that they should be immediately appointed.

Personal Life & Legacy : Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel tied the knot at the age of 18, to Jhaverba, who was twelve years of age then. Following the traditional Hindu customs, which allowed the bride to stay with her parents until her husband had a decent income and an established household, the two stayed apart for a few years until Sardar Patel had definite income to fall back on. Along with Jhaverba, he set up a house in Godhra. The couple was blessed with a daughter, Manibehn, in 1904, and a son, Dahyabhai, two years later. In 1909, Jhaverba, who was suffering from cancer, underwent a major surgical operation. Though the operation was successful, Jhaverba’s health continued to decline. She passed away the same year. Patel was against remarrying and instead raised his children with the help of his family. Patel’s health started declining in the summer of 1950. Though he was taken care of intensely, his health worsened. To recuperate, he was flown to Mumbai, where he

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY: THE STORY OF MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH by Mohandas K. Gandhi Part-2. 20. BALASUNDARAM : The heart's earnest and pure desire is always fulfilled. In my own experience I have often seen this rule verified. Service of the poor has been my heart's desire, and it has always thrown me amongst the poor and enabled me to identify myself with them. Although the members of the Natal Indian Congress included the Colonial-born Indians and the Clerical class, the unskilled wage- earners, the indentured labourers were still outside its pale. The Congress was not yet theirs. They could not afford to belong to it by paying the subscription and becoming its members. The Congress could win their attachment only by serving them. An opportunity offered itself when neither the Congress nor I was really ready for it. I had put in scarcely three or four months' practice, and the Congress also was still in its infancy, when a Tamil man in tattered clothes,

In 1949, opening a cupboard, the Master’s attendant found a bedsheet bitten by a rat, and inside the sheet were four of its newborns. They had hardly opened their eyes. He took them to the Master. When the Master saw the baby rats, his heart was flooded with compassion. He felt greatly pained that they should have been disturbed. He asked the attendant to put them back immediately in the same place and condition, lest their mother should miss them. This was done. But in a day or two, the mother rat got killed by a cat. Soon after, the little ones also died. When the Master saw the dead rats, he felt sad and did Maha Mantra Kirtan for a pretty long time for the peace of the departed souls. His attendant also joined him in the Kirtan. The Master fed ants with sugar, birds with rice, monkeys with gram, fish with bread. He kept water in pots for birds. "This will develop mercy and cosmic love," he said. "It will soften the stony heart
