The public health department of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) may soon appeal to the United Kingdom-based financiers of NGO Praja Foundation to stop funding the group. Since May this year, the NGO has released papers on malnutrition, tuberculosis, malaria and dengue based on statistics accessed through Right To Information queries which according to BMC the collection of data has been done from different sources of BMC and thus there is a massive duplication. BMC officials claim the methodology used to collate the information and interpretation of data was unscientific and against World Health Organisation and national disease control guidelines. BMC said the NGO has been attempting to malign the public body.  NYOOOZ TV Videos - Dedicated to bringing you the latest and best in politics, sports, current affairs and entertainment world.
