HYDERABAD: The University of
Hyderabad (UoH) on Friday reeled
under panic as the authorities
scrambled to distribute preventive
medicines to curb the spread of
swine flu after post-doctoral fellow
Sudha Nirmala, succumbed to the
infection.
"When we heard that someone on
campus had died, we really panicked
and decided to take masks from the
camp, being organised in the
university," says Gaurav Tiku, a post-
graduate student, referring to the
drive by a student union, where
5,000 masks were given to staffers
and students. The camp was
organised for two days in association
with a private hospital. Set up in
the university shopping complex, the
sheer number of people who came in
to collect the medicines reflects the
atmosphere of fear prevalent at the
varsity.
 
PATNA: The RJD, which has 24
members in Bihar assembly, on
Sunday reaffirmed its support to JD
(U) legislature party leader Nitish
Kumar and said he would succeed in
taking further the RJD chief Lalu
Prasad's agenda of strengthening
secular forces in Bihar.
"We in RJD firmly believe that Nitish
Kumar will be successful in
extending further Lalu Prasad's
attempts to strengthen and unite
secular forces in the state. Kumar
will also ensure all-round
development of the state, besides
implementing special welfare
schemes for the progress of dalits,
Mahadalits, backwards and
minorities as part of social justice
scheme of the grand alliance," RJD
spokesperson Ejaz Ahmad said.
Earlier in the day, dozens of RJD
functionaries, led by its state
president Ram Chandra Purbey,
called on Kumar at the latter's
residence here to congratulate him
on being elected as JD (U) LP leader.
Purbey also handed over a bouquet
to Kumar on behalf of the RJD.
Purbey said Nitish Kumar being a
very experienced politician, would
not only thwart the BJP's bid to
create political instability in Bihar
but also push the state to achieve
new heights on the development
front.
