Coronavirus on scientific background

Corona has impacted life especially in Metros, with Mumbai and Delhi bearing most of the brunt. While Mumbai is the worst-affected Metro, Delhi is also not far behind. There is no green zone in Delhi. Nine out of 11 districts in the capital are red zones, which means they have a high Covid-19 load, according to the Union health ministry, while two others qualify as orange zones, which means they are getting two to three cases daily. Union health minister Harsh Vardhan, who held a meeting to review the situation in Delhi, has voiced his concern in this regard.

A district categorised as a red zone is moved to orange if it doesn’t see a single new case for 14 days and green if there are no cases for another 14 days. A Delhi government official alleged that delay in testing results is the biggest challenge we are facing. It is taking more than a week for the labs to send results, which is affecting containment measures. Delhi is the third-most-affected state in the country after Maharashtra and Gujarat.

With corona cases on the rise in the national capital Delhi, Haryana has decided to seal all borders with Delhi, including those in Gurugram and Faridabad.  Gurugram district authorities announced that they were restricting entry into the district from Delhi, after Health Minister Anil Vij announced he was considering the measure to stop the spread of coronavirus. Gurugram Police has deployed additional forces at the border and has stepping up frisking. Gurugram Health Department officials said those entering or leaving the district will be screened thoroughly.

Anybody who crosses the border will be screened each time the person gets back to the district, no matter how many times in a day that happens. So far, 18 cases have come to notice where visiting Delhi government employees have been the source of infection in Haryana.  Along with these cases, three family members of a COVID positive Delhi cop and a pharmacist employed in a hospital in Delhi tested positive in Jhajjar district on Tuesday. The pharmacist used to travel to his workplace from Bahadurgarh daily. In Faridabad, an officer of a health institute in Delhi tested positive. He used to travel to Delhi daily.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government after Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission aspirants’ protest continued for the fourth consecutive day outside the commission’s office in Prayagraj, saying the BJP has crossed all the limits of arrogance.

Yadav claimed that the UP Police took away the crutches of the disabled student protesting at the site in Allahabad, adding that he said this shows how cruel and insensitive the BJP government is.

“Such a government has no right to continue. BJP has crossed all the limits of arrogance. The higher a government rises, the lower and faster it falls. Today disabled students say they don’t want BJP!” the SP chief said in Hindi on X.

In another post, Yadav said if the arrogant BJP thinks that by removing the protesting candidates from outside commission’s office in “Prayagraj”, will put an end to the democratic protest of the youth fighting for their rights, then it has been mistaken.

“Movements are fought with the mind, not the body, and so far the world has not developed such a power that can take the mind under custody,” he added.

Continuing his attack on the BJP, Yadav said if the saffron party only understands the maths of elections, then it should know that if other competitive students like PCS/RO/ARO/LOWER SUBORDINATE and their family members are included, then this number is almost one crore.

“If we divide this ‘big number’ by about 400 Assembly seats, then BJP will lose about 25,000 votes in every Assembly seat, which means BJP will be reduced to double digits,” he added.

“It is hoped that by understanding this mathematics, today itself the heartless BJP government will stop the atrocities and fulfill the democratic legitimate demands of the protesting youth,” the former Chief Minister said.

He said: “BJP has developed a habit; fearing public anger, it is finally forced to concede, but only when all its violent methods fail and its negative anti-job politics fails completely. BJP is going to end forever.”

According to reports, the aspirants are demanding that the upcoming PCS and RO/ARO exams be conducted in a single shift, as was previously done. They believe this will make the process fairer and more manageable.

Maharashtra election: Constitution for PM Modi is blank as he never read it, says Rahul Gandhi

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi felt the red book of the Constitution which the Congress leader carries was blank as he never read it.  He was addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar.

Rahul Gandhi stated that the Constitution contains the soul of India and the principles envisaged by national icons like Birsa Munda, Dr B R Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. He claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi says that the Constitution which he shows in public meetings is empty because the Prime Minister has never read it.

Mentioning that BJP often says that he shows the red coloured Constitution, Rahul Gandhi said that the colour doesn’t matter to them, but what is written inside it. He added that they are ready to sacrifice their lives to protect it. He echoed that Congress wants adivasis, Dalits and backward classes to get representation in decision-making.

Reportedly, several BJP leaders in their campaign for the November 20 Maharashtra assembly election, have sought to link the red book displayed by Gandhi to urban Naxalism. Referring to the same, the Leader of Opposition alleged that PM Modi and the BJP were insulting the national icons by making such comments. He also charged that the BJP and RSS insult tribals by referring to them as vanvasi instead of adivasi.

He stressed that Adivasis are the first owners of the country and have the first right on water, forest and land. However, the BJP wants adivasis to remain in the jungle without any rights, he claimed.

Emphasizing on the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi’s (MVA) manifesto, the Congress leader said women, farmers and youth will be protected with provisions like Rs 3,000 monthly assistance and free bus travel, farm loan waiver up to Rs 3 lakh and Rs 4,000 per month assistance for unemployed youth.

Additionally, he also stressed on the demand for a caste census, underlining that it will help to ascertain the number of adivasis, Dalits and backward classes in Maharashtra and how much is their share in resources. He claimed that at present out of the eight per cent tribal population, their share in decision-making is only one per cent.

The Maharashtra Assembly Elections will be held on November 20. The counting of votes will take place on November 23.
