                              Passage-I 
In September 2011, Hindustan times did a study in Delhi and reported that the number of malaria (and dengue) cases at the time were actually thrice as many as revealed by the city authorities. Earlier, in Mumbai, a municipal claim that 145 people died due to malaria in 2010 was exposed a lie after Praja, a city NGO, extracted figures from the municipality  itself. Following an RTI petition, Praja revealed 1190 deaths. This seems to be a habit. A paper in the leading  UK medical journal. The Lancet, published following nationwide interviews undertaken by an international team, reveals that the number of malarial deaths all over India every year may be as high as 205,000, which is many times the World Health Organization’s figure of about 15,000 of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme’s figure of just around 1000.
While The Lancet paper has been disputed, it is clear that there must be gross under-reporting of malarial deaths .Wouldn’t that be one of the big reasons why malaria, which is easily cure4d if properly after timely diagnosis, continues to kill so many Indians?
 
The Hindustan Times found that the number of malaria cases in 2011 was:
  1. A
    Three times the numbers revealed by the authorities
