Rise in dengue cases causes concern in Thripunithura municipality

Published by Parlour News

The continued reporting of dengue cases in a ward of the Thripunithura municipality over the past month has raised concern among residents, health authorities and civic representatives. A cluster of cases has been reported from Ward 1, Attaprayil, and despite efforts by civic authorities to contain the spread, the lack of public cooperation in eliminating mosquito breeding sites remains a major concern, civic representatives said. “We have identified a few establishments that are not taking steps to remove waterlogged areas within their premises, which could become mosquito breeding sites. People are not cooperating despite repeated requests. Therefore, we are planning to enter these areas ourselves and undertake cleaning activities from Monday,” said ward councillor Praseetha Miju. Dr. Sona Rajan Manamel, medical officer at the Urban Primary Health Centre, Thripunithura, said 12 dengue cases had been reported from Ward 1, particularly from Parayapparambil Lane and Pulse Nagar Road in Kozhivettumveli. “Preventive measures, including source reduction activities and vector studies, are being carried out to contain the spread.

Sharmila slams govt. for filing cases against noted academic

Published by Parlour News

APCC president Y.S. Sharmila on Sunday condemned the filing of cases against journalist and former MLC from Telangana K. Nageshwar, terming it an act of harassment and political vindictiveness. In a statement, Ms. Sharmila said it was unbecoming of the NDA government in the State to target an academic and intellectual in such a manner. Even after Prof. Nageshwar had withdrawn his remarks and clarified his position, it was unjustified on the part of the government to register cases against him, she said, and demanded immediate withdrawal of cases filed against Prof. Nageshwar. Prof. Nageshwar, citing highly placed sources, earlier allegedly claimed that Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan had asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to send YSRCP chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to jail, but was advised to go soft on him. Published – May 25, 2026 09:11 am IST Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
