Dengue kills 3 more patients in a day in Bangladesh, all in Dhaka South
The number of dengue patients hospitalised since Jan 1 increased to 2,545 with 21 new cases in the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, according to the Directorate General of Health Services. The new patients include 12 admitted to hospitals in Dhaka, three in Chattogram, five in Barishal and one in Khulna. As many as 136 patients were undergoing treatment for dengue in hospitals across the country. In 2023, Bangladesh recorded 321,179 hospitalisations and 1,705 deaths from the viral disease and the outbreak has continued this year. Experts say dengue may affect Bangladesh throughout the year from now on, not just in monsoon, if the authorities do not move to prevent the disease.

The International Monetary Fund or IMF has also recently recommended economic reforms to reduce incentivesThe government is looking for alternative methods to boost export earnings in specific sectors without relying solely on incentives. The upcoming export policy from the commerce ministry, spanning from 2024 to 2027, will address the possibility of introducing non-incentive-based policy support. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs at the Secretariat approved the draft of the Export Policy (2024-2027) at a meeting on Wednesday. In the budget for the current fiscal year, the government allocated Tk 840 billion for subsidies and Tk 152.25 billion for incentives. However, the International Monetary Fund or IMF has recently recommended economic reforms to reduce incentives.

India's top court bails jailed editor in Chinese funding case
NEW DELHI, May 15, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - India's top court on Wednesday orderedthe release on bail of an editor jailed in connection with a case alleginghis news website received Chinese funding. Prabir Purkayastha was arrested last year after a New York Timesinvestigation alleged his English-language outlet NewsClick had beenfinancially supported by a network pushing Chinese propaganda. The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that Purkayastha's arrest by theEnforcement Directorate, India's financial crimes agency, was illegal sinceit failed to communicate the grounds for detention in writing to him. The court said that its ruling on Purkayastha's confinement was not astatement on the merits of the ongoing case against him.

Govt’s climate actions reduce vulnerability of poor, marginalized people: PM
DHAKA, May 15, 2024 (BSS) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that following her government’s steps to offset the impacts of climate change, the vulnerability of the poor and marginalized community has declined. During the meeting, different issues, including child and mother mortality rates, reproductive health, child marriage and girls education came up for discussion. Turning to women education, Sheikh Hasina said the girl students surpassed boys both in number and academic performance in the school examinations in Bangladesh. Coming in power in 1996, Sheikh Hasina said, her government framed policy to promote girls education in line with her experiences gathered after she returned home in 1981. Besides, now a larger number of girls are coming to schools as employment scopes for girls have widened, she noted.
