With a population so big; poor living standards, cleanliness and sanitation, this could lead to disastrous consequences. Serious intervention required from Government before problem of TB gets out of hand.

[@RJ-wc4nn]

Awesome presentation and great art of taking limelight by opposing Modi the way everyone does these day. Totally agree we need funds for this but this is not new disease and same could have been asked for earlier to other governments without dramatizing bullet train comments. That way we don't need airplanes and airports for domestic. Travel by train always. Careful don't travel by the one Modi has provided but by the previous government. Can you. That's a challenge. Take it.
