Amid Covid third wave warning, there have been overcrowding incidents such as hill stations, markets, malls and long lines for liquor are aiding the spread of the virus at an alarming rate.

After more than 3 crore Covid-19 cases and above four lakh deaths, experts warned that the third wave could hit India in six to eight weeks if Covid-appropriate behaviour is not followed..

The recent hill stations overcrowding incidents have been witnessed after the Covid second wave drop-down the health infrastructure to its knees with massive shortages of key medicines, hospital beds and oxygen supplies.

There was public outrage after the traffic crowd visuals surfaced on social media on the way to famous hill stations like Manali. Large numbers of people, some maskless, were seen visiting shopping districts with no social distancing.

Warning the tourists, the authority of Mussorie’s famous Kempty falls in Uttarakhand have allowed only 50 tourists with a maximum permissible time limit of 30 minutes. The authority also said a check-post will be set up to monitor the tourists. This development comes after videos, circulated widely on social media, showed a large number of tourists bathing at the falls without maintaining social distancing norms.

Apart from the crowding hill stations, there was heavy crowd in many liquor shops across the country while the fliers in flights are also dramatically increased in the past few weeks. Over the past few days, several passengers have accused that norms such as wearing masks and keeping social distancing are being overlooked.

However, what was shocking to see was the flouting of rules at local markets in Delhi, where people were seen maskless. Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) notified shop owners in the Laxmi Nagar market to briefly close their businesses for alleged negligence to adhere to social distancing and Covid-19 regulations.

At least three more major markets – Kamla Nagar, Sadar Bazar, and Sarojini Nagar – in Delhi have been given notices and advised for similar purposes either by the police or district administration in the last ten days.

Journalist files police complaint against Rahul Gandhi over push allegation

Journalist Richa Parashar has filed a criminal complaint against Rahul Gandhi and others, alleging that she was pushed while covering the Opposition’s march to the Supreme Court. The Congress has denied the allegation.

Journalist Richa Parashar has filed a police complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over an alleged incident during the INDIA bloc’s march to the Supreme Court in New Delhi on October 12. She has sought the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Gandhi and others, alleging that she was pushed while covering the protest.

Parashar submitted her complaint to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), New Delhi district, on Friday, seeking immediate action. She has said she was three months pregnant at the time of the alleged incident and accused those involved of mistreatment, threats and the use of force.

What Richa Parashar alleged in her complaint

Parashar alleged that she was reporting on the Opposition’s march when the incident occurred. According to her earlier account, she was waiting near a gate on the Supreme Court premises to seek a response from Gandhi when he allegedly grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. She further alleged that his security personnel pushed her away, causing her to fall on the Supreme Court steps.

In her complaint, Parashar said she asked Gandhi questions before he allegedly pushed her towards a gate. She claimed that the force caused her to lose her balance and fall, and that her repeated requests not to be pushed were ignored.

Parashar has sought legal action against Gandhi and others whom she alleges were involved. The complaint reportedly seeks action under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, including Sections 74, 115(2), 131, 125 and 3(5). These provisions concern alleged assault or criminal force against a woman, voluntarily causing hurt, assault or criminal force, acts endangering human life or personal safety, and joint liability for acts committed with common intention.

The allegations and the sections cited in the complaint do not, by themselves, establish criminal liability.

Congress disputes the allegation

The Congress has challenged Parashar’s account of the incident. According to report, the party said a video released by the journalist did not show the sequence of events she described.

Congress leader Alka Lamba also questioned the circumstances surrounding the incident and accused those raising the issue of attempting to manufacture propaganda.

The allegations remain disputed. The complaint and the competing accounts should not be treated as an established finding of wrongdoing.

Incident took place during Opposition’s Supreme Court march

The alleged incident occurred on October 12, when Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders marched to the Supreme Court to submit a petition concerning alleged irregularities in the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The Opposition has raised concerns about the voter-list revision process and alleged irregularities.

Parashar’s police complaint adds a legal dimension to the controversy surrounding the march. Any further action will depend on the police process and the relevant legal proceedings.
