The statement says that the State Government has decided to declare ‘Kala Azar’ as a notifiable disease under the Epidemics Act. This means that family members or neighbours of the patient are liable to be punished in case they did not inform the State authorities.

Course of action I says that efforts should be made to effectively implement the Act. This is a valid course of action because it will help to ensure that the Act is properly implemented and that those who are responsible for not informing the State authorities are punished.

Course of action II says that the cases of punishment should be propagated through mass media so that more people become aware of the stern actions. This is also a valid course of action because it will help to deter people from not informing the State authorities and it will also help to raise awareness of the disease.

Therefore, both I and II follow.
