The Dhaka Times Desk Although it is not a golden egg, it is an ordinary chicken egg bought from the market for just 6 rupees. That egg is auctioned. And his price has risen to 200,000 Indian rupees! The incident took place in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
How come the price of the egg is only 6 rupees? Why was an egg auctioned? The story begins in a mosque in Mal Mapanpura village in Sopore district of India. The mosque committee decided that on the occasion of Eid, they would go from house to house to collect cash and various items as donations. Someone gave cash, someone donated dishes, chicken or rice.
Nasir Ahmed, a member of the mosque committee, said, "We were collecting donations, while a woman came out from a small house with her head down. He came to me with an egg and asked me to accept his gift.'
What to do with eggs?
Nasir Ahmed said, 'Other things are given to sell. But what can be done with that egg became the cause of my anxiety!'
He said, 'It is a normal egg worth Rs.6. But the very poor woman donated the egg in the name of God with passion, which made that egg priceless.'
After discussing with other members of the committee, it was decided to auction the egg. After 3 days the egg will be taken back, such a decision was also informed.
Nasir Ahmed announced that the egg will be auctioned without revealing the identity of the woman. He himself placed the first bid at Rs.
First rate 10 thousand Indian rupees!
The former Panchayat head of the village, Tariq Ahmed, said, 'There was no big mosque in this village of 250 people. That is why we were starting the work of building a big mosque. However, due to lack of funds, even the roof could not be built and the work could not proceed.
He said that they could not even think that they could collect Rs. 2 lakh by auctioning an egg. The mosque committee decided that the egg would be auctioned for 3 days.
Nasir Ahmed was saying, 'In the first two days, the price went up to 10, 20, 30 and 50 thousand rupees. Each time the egg was taken back.' Then on the last day the auction will continue till 7 pm, such an announcement is also made.
The egg will be tied to the frame
It is also said that the egg will be given to the highest bidder in the end. Sopore businessman Danish Hamid was present on the last day of the auction.
54 thousand Indian rupees were bid twice in the auction. Hamid standing at the very last line bids '70 thousand' for eggs. In this way a total of 2 lakh 26 thousand 350 rupees is accumulated.
Nasir Ahmed said, it is not an ordinary egg anymore. That egg has become symbolic.
Danish Hamid said, 'I am now making a good frame to keep that egg beautifully arranged. It has to be contained.'
She wants the egg to be a reminder to her family, or to those who come to visit, of how a woman gave an egg to God without thinking of the cost. Source: BBC.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
