PAM Disease: In recent times, a very dangerous disease has increased the concern in Kerala and now West Bengal. This disease is known as Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), which is colloquially known as ‘brain eating amoeba’. Its cause is a parasite named Naegleria fowleri. It directly attacks the human brain and even after starting treatment, the chances of survival are very low.

How did the disease spread?

According to doctors, this parasite is often found in warm water ponds, rivers and lakes. When a person inhales water through the nose while bathing or swimming, then this amoeba reaches the brain and spreads the infection. This disease does not spread from one person to another, but only through water.

rapidly increasing cases

According to the data given in Parliament on Friday, the situation is very worrying. Union Minister of State for Health Prataprao Jadhav told the Lok Sabha that in 2025, 170 people in Kerala alone would be affected by the disease. Of these, 42 people have died.

This figure is shocking because till September there were a total of 500 cases worldwide, but in just one and a half years, more than 100 cases have been reported in Kerala. According to the minister, 2 cases, 2 deaths in 2023, 39 cases, 9 deaths in 2024 and 170 cases, 42 deaths in 2025. It is clear that this disease has spread rapidly this year.

government action

• Considering the situation as serious, the Health Ministry has taken several steps.
• NCDC of Kozhikode has done a detailed study on this disease.
• ICMR and ICAR are investigating and monitoring it.
• 18 VRDL labs across the country are testing and monitoring this disease.
• State governments have issued warnings asking people to remain alert.

The initial symptoms of Naegleria fowleri infection look like normal fever or cold and cough, so people often ignore it. But this mistake can prove costly. Are you dismissing it as a common disease? Be careful! Has a destructive ‘brain-eating amoeba’ made a home in your body? Therefore, be careful as soon as you see these symptoms.

The Kerala government on Sunday ordered an inquiry into the alleged act of Southern Railways in making school students sing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) songs in the train after the inauguration of the Ernakulam to Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express.

General Education Minister V. Shivankutty has directed the Director of Public Instruction (DPI) to investigate and submit a report in this regard. According to a statement issued by the minister’s office, Shivankutty said that the government is taking the incident extremely seriously.

Kerala Education Minister ordered investigation

He said that politicizing children in government programs and using them to promote the communal agenda of a particular group is a violation of constitutional principles. The minister said, ‘The Director of Public Instruction (DPI) has been directed to immediately conduct an investigation and submit a report.’ He said that further appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the report.

Union Minister Suresh Gopi also reacted

Sivankutty said it is the government’s responsibility to maintain the secular and national values ​​of the country and steps will be taken to ensure that these principles are protected. However, Union Minister Suresh Gopi on Sunday justified the singing of RSS songs by students in the new train. He told reporters in Thrissur that this was part of the innocent celebration of the children.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Tourism said, ‘He felt like singing that song at that time and he sang it. Anyway, this is not an extremist song. A group of school students sang an RSS song in the Vande Bharat Express on Saturday, which triggered a sharp reaction in Kerala.

Kerala CM Vijayan had criticized

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had criticized Southern Railway regarding this. He had said that inclusion of the RSS song, which allegedly continuously spreads communal divisive politics, in the official program of the government is a violation of constitutional principles.

The Chief Minister had said that it was unacceptable for the Sangh Parivar to use the Railways for its alleged communal political propaganda. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly VD Satheesan had also said that making students sing RSS songs at government programs was ‘illegal and undemocratic’.

Railways shared the video of students

Southern Railway had reportedly removed this social media ‘post’ after criticism. Southern Railway re-posted the video of the song sung by the students and its English translation on social media platform ‘X’ on Sunday and wrote, ‘Students of Saraswati Vidyalaya gave a spectacular rendition of their school song during the inauguration of Ernakulam Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express.’

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Southern Railways, making serious allegations. He claims that in the inaugural program of Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express, students were made to sing RSS’ ‘Gana Geet’. Vijayan expressed his strong protest against this, calling it against religious and political impartiality in government programmes.

What did CM Vijayan say?
Pinarayi Vijayan said that it is extremely objectionable for Southern Railways to make students sing RSS songs during the inauguration of Vande Bharat. This is absolutely unacceptable and must be opposed. He said that this song continuously promotes religious hatred and communal politics and its inclusion in the government program is a violation of the principles of the Constitution.

Secular image of government programs damaged – CM Vijayan
CM Vijayan alleged that ‘hardcore Hindutva politics’ was introduced in the programme. According to him, such steps weaken the secularism of government events and ‘narrow political thinking’ is working behind it. Vijayan said that the Sangh Parivar is also using the country’s largest public sector undertaking – the Railways – for its ‘communal political propaganda’. He also alleged that Southern Railways shared the song on social media as a ‘patriotic song’, which is ‘like making fun of the freedom movement’.

Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas also criticized the Railways.
Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas also shared a video, in which children are seen singing RSS songs. He tweeted, ‘Being a part of RSS song at the inauguration of Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Service shows a new low for Railways. Now even the announcement of new services is politically tinged and public representatives are being pushed back.

Vijayan has already criticized RSS
Last month too, Pinarayi Vijayan had compared RSS with Zionist groups in Israel and said that both ‘have similar views on many issues.’ Apart from this, he had also objected to the Central Government’s decision to celebrate the centenary of RSS, saying that issuing a stamp and Rs 100 coin in its name was an ‘insult to the Constitution’.

A special POCSO court in Kerala has sentenced a woman and her male partner to 180 years of imprisonment and a fine of Rs 11.7 lakh for sexually assaulting a minor girl. The court convicted both of them under several provisions of the POCSO Act, Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Juvenile Justice Act.

What is the whole matter?

The 33-year-old man was accused of repeatedly raping his girlfriend’s 12-year-old daughter, while the woman, who is the girl’s mother, was accused of aiding him in the heinous crime and also forcing her daughter to commit the crime.

This harassment continued from December 2020 to October 2021. The court found the woman guilty on the grounds that she encouraged the crime, exerted mental pressure on the child and tried to hide the crime.

other serious allegations

The prosecution also said that the woman showed the girl obscene videos, gave her beer and threatened her by saying that a CCTV camera had been installed in her brain, so that if she told anything to anyone, it would be immediately known.

How did the matter come to light?

The matter came to light when the woman reached Malappuram police station and accused her parents of not giving her Aadhar card and other documents. When the police asked the woman’s parents to provide the certificate and they reached her house, they expressed their desire to see their granddaughter, but the woman refused. Later the neighbors told that the condition of the girl was bad and she was not even being given proper food. After this the family contacted Childline and the girl was sent to Snehita Centre.
