A grief stricken traumatic, shocking and horrific news is going terribly viral in social media especially amongst the inhabitants of Uttarakhand after a merely six year old girl who was quarantined in a school situated at Betalghat in Nainital district met her sad end after having been bitten by a venomous snake.

The girl was quarantined with her parents about ten days ago when they arrived at Betalghat from Delhi. This horrific news have been circulated in the social media with scores of people expressing their shock, anguish and anger over this tragic incident due to the negligence and complacent attitude of the employees , officers and even politicians at the helm of affairs allegedly making tall claims of their achievements in electronic media and newspapers whereas in reality the condition of the quarantine centres in the hilly state are quite worrisome and unhygienic with allegedly little or no care of the doctors or the staff.

The negligence and complacense on the part of the officers, employees and politicians, if responsible deserve stringent punishment and tightening of the measures to set right the situation.

Meanwhile the graph of contagious Corona virus is on the horrific jump in the state with the total figure crossing 400 mark after detection of 40 cases today. The situation in Uttarakhand is reported to be worrisome as the testing figure here is less as compared to other states.

  1. This is sad indeed.
    Uttarakhand mainly a forest region is faced by severe challanges
    People should stop encroaching in jungle area and the state govt should look for some more significant ideas to keep the animals away from humans

  2. This is sad. Quarantine centres should be away from bushes & far from animal areas. Municipal authority should check the area before selecting a region for quarantine
