DELHI
Be on the lookout for these ailments that can harm your health in the midst of the Delhi floods.
New Delhi, India – As heavy monsoon rains continue to batter the city, causing severe flooding in several areas of Delhi, residents are not only dealing with the immediate dangers posed by the rising waters but also facing potential health risks. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of the various ailments that can arise during such situations and take necessary precautions to safeguard their well-being.
With stagnant water, contaminated environments, and disrupted sanitation systems, the following health risks are of particular concern during the Delhi floods:
Waterborne Diseases:
Stagnant floodwaters become breeding grounds for harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, and leptospirosis can spread rapidly. It is essential to avoid contact with floodwater as much as possible and consume only safe, clean drinking water. Boiling water before use or using water purifiers can help minimize the risk of waterborne diseases.
Vector-Borne Diseases:
Flooded areas provide an ideal environment for disease-carrying mosquitoes to breed. Dengue, malaria, and chikungunya are prevalent in Delhi, and their transmission can intensify during and after floods. Residents are advised to use mosquito repellents, wear protective clothing, and ensure proper drainage to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed.
Respiratory Infections:
Mold, mildew, and dampness in flooded houses can trigger respiratory problems, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma or allergies. Breathing in mold spores can cause coughing, wheezing, and allergic reactions. It is important to keep living spaces well-ventilated and promptly address any signs of mold growth or water damage.
Skin Infections:
Extended exposure to floodwater can lead to skin infections, especially if the water is contaminated. Bacterial and fungal infections can develop, causing itching, rashes, and open sores. Individuals should avoid contact with floodwater and promptly clean and dry any areas of the skin that come into contact with it. Using antiseptic solutions and keeping the skin clean can help prevent infections.
Mental Health Concerns:
The stress and trauma caused by flooding can have a significant impact on mental health. Displacement, loss of belongings, and the disruption of daily life can lead to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is crucial to seek support from friends, family, and mental health professionals if needed. Engaging in stress-reducing activities and maintaining a routine can also be beneficial.
Authorities and relief agencies are working tirelessly to provide assistance and mitigate the impact of the floods on public health. It is vital for individuals to stay informed about local advisories, follow safety instructions, and take proactive measures to protect their health and well-being during this challenging period.
Remember, prevention and caution are key in minimizing the risks associated with the floods. By staying vigilant, taking necessary precautions, and seeking medical attention when required, Delhi residents can navigate this difficult time with their health intact.
Stay safe, stay informed, and prioritize your well-being.

Rahul Gandhi’s comment about “fighting Indian state” is a jab at “mental stability” from the BJP.

During his speech, Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress was fighting the Indian state itself and not just the BJP or RSS’s ideology
Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders sharply reacted to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s comments on the RSS and BJP during an inaugural speech for the new headquarter of the party in Delhi.
Speaking to reporters, Hardeep Singh Puri remarked that Rahul Gandhi should “get his mental stability checked” in response to the latter’s comments at the new ‘Indira Gandhi Bhawan’.
During his speech, Rahul Gandhi attacked RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat, who had earlier stated that India’s independence should be celebrated on the day of the Ram temple consecration and not on August 15.
He stated that the comments made by Bhagwat were treasonous and said that the Congress was fighting the Indian state itself and not just the BJP or RSS’s ideology, which had proven harmful to democracy.
Union health minister JP Nadda also expressed his anger at Gandhi’s claims and said in a post on X, “Hidden no more, Congress’ ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader. I ‘compliment’ Mr. Rahul Gandhi for saying clearly what the nation knows- that he is fighting the Indian state!”
He alleged that Rahul Gandhi had ties to urban naxals and the deep state through which he was trying to sow division and discredit India.
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also questioned Gandhi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, saying, “The LoP, who was sworn in by taking oath on the Constitution, is now saying, “We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself. So what for are you carrying a copy of the constitution in your hand?”
BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya also took to X sharing a clip of Rahul Gandhi’s speech and said, Rahul Gandhi has now declared an open war against the Indian State itself. This is straight out of George Soros’s playbook.”
Rahul Gandhi’s speech
“The people in power today don’t salute the tricolour, don’t believe in the national flag or the constitution, and have a vastly different vision for India. They want India to be controlled by a secretive society, run by one person, and crush the voices of our nation,” Gandhi said during his speech.
He also emphasized that the Congress party was the only alternative to the BJP-led central government.
“The people in this room are facing systematic attack and assault on their lives because they are in the Congress party, and they are not surrendering to the BJP and the RSS,” he added.
