Government should respond on naxal issues

It is very unfortunate to see that political leaders have been assassinated by naxals. One cannot support this kind of act even the group or person having sympathy with naxals. In democracy everything should be demanded in democratic way, if a person or group is unsatisfied he/she has right to protest. But violence cannot be allowed or justified in any way. It also cannot be ruled out that naxals are not given an opportunity in development of country, they are struggling for their survival, they are not included in mainstream. Therefore, they have right to protest. Now, as they have started this kind of acts, they are deviated from the issues for which it is organized. This kind of acts will harm themselves. Previously, few social activists had sympathy with them, but now it seems naxals are loosing their support too and they are now being called as terrorist. Considering them as terrorist, it would be easy for government to take strong action against them including the use of army. Then, government will not be in pressure to have dialogue with them. Mentors of naxals should rethink and have open discussion with government this is the only way to get success for their welfare.

On the other hand, government should come out from its denial mode and take this attack as an opportunity to take on the situation. In my view, government is more responsible for this. Government should make a strong stand and make effective and result oriented policies. Government comes in action when this kind of attacks happens. Why do we wait for this to happen? I hope, now government will respond.

Please have patience and be calm. Respect the peace.

20 cm Long Worm in the Human Eye, First Ever Recorded on Video

Here is the video clip of a 20 cm long worm being removed from a human eye through surgical procedure. It is the first time ever that such a long worm growing in the eye has been recorded.

Dr. Ashley Thomas Mulamoottil, the doctor who recorded this unique surgery says that this is the seventh worm that he has removed in the last one decade and it is also the longest.

The worm Loa Loa was originally found in Africa and has now reached Asia. The mangrove fly or deer fly is believed to be the carrier of this worm. The eggs of the worm enter the human body through small wounds inflicted by the fly. The death of the worm inside the body could be fatal as it could contaminate the blood. The disease is known as microfilariasis or Loa Loa infestation (Loiasis).

About the Worm: Loa loa is the filarial nematode (roundworm) species that causes Loa loa filariasis. It is commonly known as the "eye worm". Its geographic distribution includes Africa and India. L. loa is one of three parasitic filarial nematodes that cause subcutaneous filariasis in humans. The two other filarial nematodes are Mansonella streptocerca and Onchocerca volvulus (causes river blindness).

Maturing larvae and adults of the "eye worm" occupy the subcutaneous layer of the skin – the fat layer – of humans, causing disease. The young larvae develop in horseflies of the genus Chrysops (deer flies, yellow flies), including the species C. dimidiata and C. silacea, which infect humans by biting them.
