Geneva: The World Health Organization’s latest warning about the next pandemic is noteworthy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that insect-borne diseases, such as syphilis and dengue, could pose a major threat to the world.

Dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Sika viruses are all known as arthropod-borne viruses or arboviruses. They are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods such as mosquitoes, insects, lice, and fleas.

The aforementioned animal diseases are most prevalent in the tropical and subtropical regions with a population of about 390 million. The WHO warns that coordinated action at the international level is essential as the frequency and severity of infectious diseases caused by the arbovirus increase. According to Dr. Ren Minghui, Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization, the challenges posed by these diseases will increase as the urban population grows.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says there are signs that the risk of these diseases is rising.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has said that the Mullaperiyar Supervisory panel will be strengthened. Each committee will include representatives from the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

The court also directed that the Mullaperiyar Supervisory panel be given full responsibility under the new Dam Safety Authority until the Dam Safety Authority comes into force. The order will be issued on Thursday.

The proposal comes after the Center informed the Supreme Court that it would take another year for the authority to come into existence. The Central Government has stated that it has no objection to the transfer of powers under the Dam Safety Act to the Committee.

The bench, headed by Justice AM Khanwilker, said that the oversight body could approach the apex court immediately if the two states failed to implement the oversight panel’s recommendation.

The motion was discussed with each other and the court was asked to hand over the minutes. The Supreme Court intervened in a petition filed by Joe Joseph, a native of Kothamangalam, seeking further strengthening of the Mullaperiyar Oversight Committee and further expansion of its scope of work and responsibilities.
