Contradiction Erupts Over Delhi Rabies Deaths: RTI Claims 18 Fatalities vs. Government's Zero Report

Imagine the government said that in Delhi, nobody died from rabies for two years, like a big zero.

But then, someone asked for information using a special process, and they found out that a hospital actually recorded 18 people who died from rabies during that same time.

This is confusing because it means the numbers don't match up.

It makes people wonder if the way we count sicknesses and deaths is working right.

Rabies is a very dangerous sickness that can be stopped if people get help right away after being bitten by an animal, like a dog.

But once someone gets sick with rabies, it's usually deadly.

The government has a plan to stop rabies by vaccinating dogs and making sure people can get free medicine if they are bitten.

This situation shows there might be problems in how all the information is collected and shared.
