NCP to contest Delhi Assembly polls independently
The Sunday Guardian
|January 19, 2025
After massive success in Maharashtra elections, the Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is now gearing up to enter Delhi's political arena, announcing 30 candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Unlike in Maharashtra, where Ajit Pawar's NCP is a key partner in the Mahayuti alliance with the BJP, the party has decided to contest the Delhi elections independently.
Of the 30 candidates fielded by Ajit Pawar-led NCP, 13 belong to the minority community.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS
Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
