Study Finds Significant Gap in Measles Vaccination Coverage Among Children in India
A recent study uncovered a worrying trend in India's measles vaccination coverage among children. About 12% of eligible children haven't received any of the recommended double doses, indicating a significant gap in immunization efforts. The study, conducted by researchers from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Banaras Hindu University, focused on overlooked aspects of measles vaccination, analyzing data from over 43,000 children aged 2-3 years. Results revealed that nearly 30% of eligible children received only one measles-containing vaccine (MCV1), while around 60% were fully immunized (MCV2). This concerning trend comes despite India's adoption of the National Strategic Plan for Measles and Rubella Elimination in 2017. Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the risk of measles outbreaks, particularly among vulnerable populations. The study highlighted regional disparities, with northeastern states like Nagaland reporting the highest percentage of zero-dose cases at 26%, while Tamil Nadu had the lowest at 4.6%. In Uttar Pradesh, districts like Prayagraj and Banda had significantly higher percentages of zero-dose cases compared to others. Socio-demographic factors, such as lower wealth levels and maternal education, were found to increase the likelihood of children not receiving vaccinations. Additionally, vaccine hesitancy fueled by cultural factors and misinformation contributed to lower inoculation rates. The researchers emphasized the need for tailored vaccination strategies, especially in districts with around 10% variability in zero-dose cases. They stressed the importance of last-mile efforts and more frequent vaccination campaigns to achieve the target of 95% vaccine coverage for population-level immunity.

Patna emerges as India's most flood-prone city, reveals recent study
Patna emerges as India's most flood-prone city, reveals recent study Patna experiences the worst floods in India, followed by West Bengal's Murshidabad and Maharashtra's Thane, according to a district-level flood severity index (DFSI) developed by researchers at IIT-Delhi and IIT-Roorkee. The index takes into account the historical severity of floods based on the number of affected people, the spread and duration of floods. The researchers said the top 10 districts where flood severity is the highest are: Patna, Murshidabad, Thane, North 24 Parganas (West Bengal), Guntur (Andhra Pradesh), Nagpur (Maharashtra), Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Ballia (Uttar Pradesh), East Champaran (Bihar), and East Medinipur (West Bengal). These are followed by Muzaffarnagar (Bihar), Lakhimpur (Assam), Kota (Rajasthan), Aurangabad (Maharashtra), Malda (West Bengal), Rajkot (Gujarat), Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), Aurangabad (Bihar), Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh), Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Jalpaiguri (West Bengal), Darjeeling (West Bengal), Dibrugarh (Assam), Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh), Chamoli (Uttarakhand), West Champaran (Bihar), Amravati (Maharashtra), Medinipur West (West Bengal), and Samastipur (Bihar). Though Chamoli in Uttarakhand does not face recurrent floods, it appears on this list because of a few isolated highly damaging flood events. Among the 30 districts facing the highest risk of floods, 17 are in the Ganga basin and three are in the Brahmaputra basin. Among all the Indian river basins, the Ganga basin has the highest population, and its high flood proneness is worrisome, said the researchers, including Manabendra Saharia, an assistant professor at IIT-Delhi. Assam experiences the highest number of floods in India, having faced more than 800 flood events over 56 years. The other flood-prone states, in descending order of flood events, include Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Data from 1967 to 2023 shows that Thiruvananthapuram has experienced more than 231 floods or more than four events per year on average. Five districts -- Thiruvananthapuram, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Kamrup, and Nagaon -- have been categorised as ''severely flood-prone,'' having recorded more than 178 floods, or more than three events per year on average. The researchers said localised intense rainfall events are likely to rise in the future due to climate change, and therefore, more flash floods are expected. Under the warming climate, the frequency of cyclones will increase, and coastal and nearby inland areas will face more instances of intense rainfall and floods. It is also likely that areas that are not currently flood-prone may begin to see flooding. The researchers said human fatality due to floods is nearly stable or has come down in recent times due to better management despite an increase in the population in India. The number of deaths is around 1,000 per year since 2015, the data showed.

Station Master Falls Asleep on Duty; Patna-Kota Express Delayed
New Delhi: The, waited for a green signal for about half an hour at Udi Mor Road station near Etawah in Uttar Pradesh on May 3 as the station master fell asleep on duty.Taking serious note of the incident, the Agra Division, under which the station falls, has asked the station master to explain the reason for negligence which could have resulted in an untoward incident. We have issued a charge sheet to the station master and disciplinary action is being taken, Agra Railway Division PRO Prashasti Srivastava told PTI. Railway officials said the Udi Mor Road station is a small but important station before Etawah as trains going towards Prayagraj from Agra as well as Jhansi pass from this station. According to sources, the loco pilot of the train had to blow the horn multiple times to wake up the station master and make him turn on the green signal for the train to pass. The station master has admitted his mistake and apologised for the lapse. He said that he was alone at the station as the pointsman who was on duty with him had gone for track inspection, a source said. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Tej Prakash Agrawal has taken serious note of the incident as his focus is on improving punctuality. He has been insisting on and encouraging employees to improve punctuality which has resulted in achieving 90 per cent punctuality recently. However, dereliction of duty on the part of the station master has not only ruined others' hard work and dedication but also posed grave risk to train operations, the source said.

SP's Sambhal Candidate Faces 'Inflammatory Statements' Case
SP's Sambhal Candidate Faces 'Inflammatory Statements' Case The Samajwadi Party's Sambhal candidate has said he will remember the ''unilateral action'' after a case was registered against him for alleged inflammatory statements, and alleged that Prime Minister Naredra Modi is speaking in a language not spoken by even ministers and MLAs. Ziaur Rehman Barq was on Monday booked for allegedly making inflammatory statements regarding gangster-politicians Atiq Ahmad and Mukhtar Ansari, officials said. Ahmad was gunned down in police custody in Prayagraj last year while Ansari died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Banda last month. Speaking in the Sarai Tareen town late on Monday, Barq said, ''I want to ask the Election Commission, police and administration officials, nothing is done if BJP leaders violate the model code of conduct but cases are lodged against us even if we say the right thing within limits.'' ''Remember, that these days will not last forever. Remember, times change. I will never forget the one-sided action taken against us,'' he warned. Barq also lashed out at Modi over his recent speeches. ''We are surprised that the country's prime minister has started using the kind of language that even a minister or an MLA should not use such words are being used for us, for our community.'' ''There is a Constitution, this country should be run according to the Constitution. The entire opposition is contesting the elections to save the Constitution. This government wants to suppress the opposition,'' he alleged. The Samajwadi Party leader also claimed that the BJP wants to change the Constitution. ''Their (BJP's) intention is to change the Constitution. In the first phase, where BJP was strong, the INDI alliance and the Samajwadi Party are now winning that phase. This storm is not going to stop till the seventh phase. This will stop only after changing the government,'' he asserted. Police on Monday said four to five unidentified people besides Barq have also been named as accused in the case. Addressing an election meeting in Sambhal on Sunday, Barq appealed to not to let the ''sacrifices of Atiq Ahmad, Mukhtar Ansari and other leaders go in vain''. Circle Officer (Sambhal) Anuj Kumar said Barq portrayed ''criminals as heroes'' in his ''objectionable speech''. He has been booked under sections 171C (undue influence in elections), 153A (promoting enmity) and 188 (disobedience) of the Indian Penal Code, Kumar said. Sambhal will go to the polls in the third phase on May 7.

According to police, four to five unidentified people have also been named as accused in the case. Addressing an election meeting in Sambhal on Sunday, Rehman had appealed to the people not to let the ''sacrifices of Atiq Ahmad, Mukhtar Ansari and other leaders go in vain''. ''There is no need to tell you about the sacrifices and problems during the time of the BJP. Whether it is putting Azam Khan sahab and his family in jail, whether it is Shahabuddin sahab, Atiq Ahmad sahab, or Mukhtar Ansari sahab... what happened with them cannot be forgotten,'' Barq told the gathering. ''I request you to take a vow to not let their sacrifices go in vain. The BJP has to be wiped out in the elections,'' he said. Ahmed was gunned down in police custody in Prayagraj last year while Ansari died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Banda last month. Former Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister Azam Khan is currently lodged in Sitapur jail after being convicted in multiple cases. Circle Officer, Sambhal, Anuj Kumar said Barq portrayed ''criminals as heroes'' in his ''objectionable speech''.
