TIMES NEWS NETWORK Mumbai: Misinterpretation of a communication from the National Institute of Com- municable Diseases ( NICD) in Delhi led Maharashtra’s public health authorities into believing that Mumbai had a close brush with the killer Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus. A report in this paper on Tuesday had quoted the state’s director of health services, Dr Subhash Salunke, as stating that six passengers had boarded a Hong Kong-Vancouver flight which halted in Mumbai on March 6, and were seated close to a Canadian infected with SARS. Salunke had based his as- sumption on a letter from the Delhi-based institute which quoted Cathay Pacific flight (CX 838) as the airline carrier and furnished the names and telephone numbers of the six passengers. Salunke was asked to run a check on them. What has emerged is that the flight did not stop in the city and the six passengers boarded in Hong Kong. How- ever, the airline has acknowledged that a Canadian on board that flight was infected with SARS and Salunke’s office has noted that the Indian passengers seated in close proximity to him were at risk. However, all six Indians have since been declared safe. NICD officials were not available for comment. BJP executive meet to begin today Indore: The Iraq war and the ensuing assembly elections in four states will dominate the BJP’s two-day national executive meet beginning here on April 4. Party general secretary Pramod Mahajan said here on Thursday that the prelim- inary session of the meet will begin with the party’s resolution on Iraq war. Mahajan said the party leadership will devote much of its time to chalk out poll strategies.TNN
