Government employees working efficiently is always a pleasant surprise

Good news is rare when it comes to the functioning of our government departments. Corruption, sloth, misuse of power, muscle-flexing , delays, unresponsiveness and red tape are the typical things that we encounter every time we deal with our bureaucratic machinery.

This is unfortunate. But more unfortunate is that even when we occasionally witness a polite, functioning and efficient segment of the machinery, it goes unnoticed and unapplauded. A few years ago, one could have said (and one did in these columns), for instance, that our post and telegraph department was one of the better functioning ones, with their ubiquitous postmen doing more honest work than most other government servants.

Sunstroke: Prevention and Prevalence

Don’t fall prey to the unrelenting Indian summer heat. Take these precautions and keep yourself and your loved ones safe from sunstroke.

What is sunstroke?

Sunstroke is a severe form of heat stroke, which if not treated quickly, can endanger life. It occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature due to exposure to excessive heat. Much like a thermostat, our body has a mechanism to control the temperature. This heat regulating system helps the body stay cool in summer and warm in winters. The body perspires in summers to stay cool.

Dehydration can lead to sunstroke. The body loses water to excessive perspiration and if this is not replenished the body takes up water from the blood stream. This has an impact on the heart and brain. Sunstroke has to be treated as a medical emergency. Dehydration can also lead to other complications like difficulty in passing urine, burning sensation and urinary tract infections.
