Mosquito, allied diseases: tech, awareness more imp than law

# 1/ PS-6

12.9.16

Diseases impact society & there are Court notices, orders on the issue every year.

 

UNSAID FACTS:

1. India per se, Delhi-NCR all along the Himalayas is specifically the world's topmost biological hotspot (meaning this Region alone is gifted with number of biological species (plants & animals) & other regions do not even have them). These regions used to have good rainfall & adequate greenery until 1995 & has greatly diminished eversince, primarily due to real estate.

2. Mosquitoes bites cause diseases; bu are important in nature's scheme of things. They bite greenery & have important role in food chain, pollination etc: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Are_mosquitoes_beneficial_to_man_in_any_wayhttps://www.mosquitoreviews.com/mosquitoes-purpose.html;  https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-purpose-of-mosquitoes-and-flies-on-earthhttps://insects.about.com/od/flies/f/what-good-are-mosquitoes.htm Their presence were not even felt so far as their natural food, the greenery used to be available to them.

                     Today, it is not so. Gvts in Delhi, UP, Haryana, Punjab etc have bent their policies & guzzled up huge tracts of lands, virgin forests, wetlands. It has displaced mosquitoes; rather, they are in their regions; but greenery has got replaced with brick & mortar.

UNSAID SCIENCES:

(I). There a number of greenery that control the insects the natural way. School books are full of Pitcher plant from class IV to Class XI. Have anyone seen this wonder plant? How many plants are still remaining? Are there any nurseries? Are there any efforts to proliferate these plants?

                     Plants repel, even kill mosquitoesWhat are the efforts to spread awareness amongst the masses?

(II). Number of cost effective, practically possible, perpetual, simple technological solutions are available too. But they are not being used in apt ways, adequate numbers:

                                             -------------XXXXXXX------------

THERE ARE MANY SUCH WAYS TO WORK UPON. THEY BE CONSIDERED. INCREASING THE STRENGTH IN THIS / THAT GVT ROLLS, SPENDING ON CHEMICALS ETC ARE NOT THE ANSWER. FOR THAT MATTER, LAW IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE.

 

News item reports: WHO has certified Sri Lanka, the country that gets lots of rain to be malaria free! This has become possible primly because Lanka promoted mosquito nets extensively amongst its populace!

 

Orders to Gvts are being used to create Gvt jobs & are at best proving to exhorbitantly costly, temporary solutions. LAW COULD INSTEAD HELP CREATE SOCIAL AWARENESS & HELP HOUSEHOLDS, POCKETS ETC TO EVOLVE INDIGENOUS SOLUTIONS. The common pool money could aswell be invested in companies that does all that it takes to promote the green technologies, gadgets etc. This will create positive ambience & there will be lot of useful employment alongside. All will benefit, instead of a select few.

Malaysia Gvt has made it mandatory for all structures to have 24 hour solar operated mosquito trap LED bulb. The bulbs cost Rs 2,000 to Rs. 5,000.

                   True, some electronics produce high frequencies in closed rooms, but this is not a constraint in open spaces. (Above has a photograph too).

-->  COMMON MAN, IF GIVEN ADEQUATE ENCOURAGEMENT WILL EVOLVE PRACTICAL, SELF SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO BREED SUCH ORGANIC, NONCHEMICAL, LEAST COST SOLUTION THAT LEAVES NO SIDE EFFECT & BE USEFUL TO ALL THE STRATA OF THE POPULACE, not essentially to those on Gvt. roll this or that.

So Goat milk, Papaya, fresh corriander leaves, neem, tulsi etc are life savers. R&D alone will tell what, how etc.

 

As of Goats, they are primarily herbivores. That implies there are many many greens that help dengue prevention / cure. The greens probably act & interact in complex ways & control mosquitoes itself.

 

Dengue, chikungunya etc have been there since ages. Traditional wisdom does have many more solutions. Drug R&D will / could invest resources, synthesise the vital substance / s (protein / vitamin .... molecule) & convert it into medicines / solutions that prevent / cure dengue.

 

BLUE PRINTS OF THE ASPECTS INVOLVED IN THESE TECHNOLOGIES NEED BE EVOLVED AFTER BRAIN STORMING. THEN, SOCIAL SECTOR INVESTMENTS COULD BE MADE INTO THE TESTED BLUE PRINTS, WALK THROUGHS.

 

THESE SOLUTIONS WOULD BLOOD & DELIVER ADEQUATELY. BUT SUCH OF THE BABY PROJECTS / SOLUTIONS GETS KILLED RIGHT AT THE WOMB.

 

Law may lay guidelines, supervise, regulate ... . TECHNOLOGY, SOLUTIONS THAT INVOLVE THE COMMON MAN ... WOULD YIELD BETTER RESULT in preventing / control.
