Tharoor tears into 'ill thought-out' disaster management bill in LS
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|December 12, 2024
URGING the Centre to withdraw the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said that it would bring greater centralisation of power in the hands of Centre.
IA has made "significant progress" in reducing malaria incidence and mortality, according to the latest World Health Organisation's (WHO) World Malaria Report.
The number of estimated malaria cases in India decreased from 6.4 million in 2017 to 2 million cases in 2023, an estimated 69% dip in 2023. Similarly, the estimated malaria deaths decreased from 11,100 to 3500 (68%) in the same period.
According to the report, there were an estimated 263 million cases and 5,97,000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2023.
The bill was moved by Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai for consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha. Initiating the debate on the bill, Tharoor said that Centre rejected Kerala government's demand for declaring the rains, floods and landslides in Wayanad, that took place in July, as a national disaster.
