A US doctor who was exposed to the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone has been admitted to a hospital at the National Institutes of Health near Washington, AP said.

PRESS RELEASE
In an effort to unite the disintegrated Janata Dal parivar, it has been decided by Janata Dal (U) and Indian National Lok Dal ( INLD) to go together in the ensuing Assembly elections in the State of Haryana.
