money cant cure this
Value of Human being is 500,000 in Panjab. which mean 200*500,000=100000000 Rupees had to provide victims(it is a rough estimate). if govt. use its half to spray and other planing and implementation for seasonal health issues . we can effectively stop Dengue and many other seasonal diseases.
Poor economic situation cannot bear such steps. I am not agreed on it at all. It is grieved that people lost their beloved but this money now should use in the health sector at any cost. Not on them who are not in this world. Care and be prepare for next season. PLEASE DON'T SPEND THIS MONEY LIKE THAT.
