Representative image Deaths from snake bites may be much rarer than earlier estimated, according to an 11-state survey funded by the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR). The survey also shows that 43% of such deaths occurred outside hospital settings or in transit and that snakebite envenomation (SBE) was a disease of impoverishment with 53% of victims being below the poverty line.According to the survey, the mortality rate from snake bite is roughly 0.3 per 100,000 population, much lower than the earlier estimate of 6 per 100,000 based on the One-Million-Death study led by the Registrar General of India from 1998 to 2014.An interim report of the survey published in Nature Communications, an open-access scientific journal, is based on a cross-sectional survey in which data was collected for a continuous period of one year in each of the 11 states with all snakebite victims identified by ASHAs and family members of victims who consented to participate in the study. The survey is yet to be completed in Meghalaya and West Bengal.”In case of snakebite, the estimate of death in the 1-MDS appears to be grossly overestimated as compared to what we have gathered from the community. For example, there were 31 deaths due to SBE in Kerala (population 35 million) for the year 2024-25, whilst based on the 1-MDS estimate the number of deaths would have been 2100 for the state,” pointed out the study. Extrapolation of the results from the selected sites to countrywide statistics would suggest a total incidence of snakebite for the country at 120,852 annually, it added.However, such a low number could be because the study only includes 13 out of 28 states and large states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh are not part of it. The highest number of fatalities have usually been reported from Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.India bears the largest burden of snakebite envenomation, accounting for nearly half of the world’s snakebite deaths. This is primarily attributed to India’s large agrarian population, at risk for snake-human conflict.The “big four” venomous species responsible for most envenomation in India include the Indian cobra, common krait, Russell’s viper, and saw-scaled viper.The total number of snakebites reported in the 25 project districts during the study period was 7,094. Of the 2.7% who died, 57% died in a hospital setting. Most of those bitten were males (64.1%) and among age groups the highest proportion was the 30-39 age group (20.9%). Unskilled labour was the most common occupation among participants (25.4%), followed by agriculture/farming (24.5%).

NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi joined Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in inaugurating the Prambanan temple compound restoration and conservation project – a Unesco world heritage – marking yet another site with India’s civilisational imprint which his govt has helped revive in a foreign country.”This initiative is a shining example of the enduring civilisational bonds between India and Indonesia, rooted in a shared heritage that has connected our people for centuries,” Modi said. Preserving such heritage is about safeguarding the traditions that continue to inspire generations, he said, adding that India is privileged to partner with Indonesia in this endeavour.With the governing BJP making it a point to champion India’s cultural legacy at home and abroad, govt has partnered with several countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Laos, to renovate and rebuild their ancient sites with common civilisational links with India.In Bangladesh, examples include Ramna Kali temple, which was destroyed in 1971, Joy Kali Mata temple, Anandomoyee Kali Mata Mandir and Ramakrishna temple, preserving important centres of Hindu faith, officials noted. In Vietnam, Modi govt restored Unesco-listed ‘MySon Sanctuary’, one of Southeast Asia’s most significant Shaivite temple complexes and the religious centre of the ancient Champa Kingdom.India signed MoU with Myanmar to restore earthquake-damaged monuments in the Unesco-listed Bagan Archaeological Zone and undertook restoration of 12 historic pagodas through the ASI.

Agency: Funds Used To Buy Aircraft & Chopper For ₹112 cr NEW DELHI: In yet another blow to TMC, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has frozen Rs 440 crore in three accounts held by the party with HDFC Bank as part of its investigation into alleged laundering of Rs 160 crore of party funds through a Kolkata-based company, Carewell Aviation. The funds were allegedly used to buy an Embraer 600 aircraft and an Agusta chopper for Rs 112 crore in what ED considers to be dubious transactions. This is the first time the agency has seized bank accounts of a political party.‘Chopper, plane bought from TMC corpus rented to party’ Last month, Kolkata police had frozen debit operations on these three accounts based on complaints from TMC rebel MLAs seeking a probe into the source of the funds. “It is also revealed that .7 million was arranged as an unsecured loan in 2023 from a Cayman Islands entity to purchase the said helicopter,” the ED said. These two flying assets were “rented” to TMC, even though they were purchased from the corpus of the party, it claimed. The aircraft and chopper were solely used by a top TMC functionary and more funds were laundered as “rentals” using the aviation firm, the ED claimed. The freeze is seen as a prelude to formal attachments of the three accounts and actions against party functionaries. “The Embraer Legacy 600 aircraft and Agusta helicopter were rented to TMC itself, even though they were purchased from the corpus of the party, and substantial amounts were transferred on the pretext of aircraft usage. The above stated dubious arrangement is under probe to ascertain the actual beneficial purpose of the transactions,” the ED said. The money trail could show if TMC functionaries laundered funds through shell entities to create personal assets.
