In a major development,
Lieutenant Governor of
Delhi Anil Baijal on Monday
overruled the two controversial
orders of the AAP Government
— to reserve Delhi
Government-run and private
hospitals in the national Capital
for only Delhiites, and allowing
Covid-19 test of only sympto-
matic patients — terming that
the City Government order
were in contravention of the
“Right to Life” under Article 21
of the Constitution.
The move may trigger a
confrontation between the
AAP dispensation and the LG
office.
Baijal, who is also
Chairman of Delhi Disaster
Management Authority
(DDMA), said all
Government, private hospitals
and nursing homes and clinics
situated in Delhi have to extend
medical facilities to all Covid-
19 patients coming for moni-
toring and treatment without
any discrimination of being
resident or non-resident of
Delhi. He also cited the
Supreme Court judgements in
this regard.
The LG also directed all
the departments of the Delhi
Government and other
authorities concerned to strict-
ly observe the strategy pre-
scribed by Indian Council of
Medical Research for Covid-
19 testing in India without any
deviation.
“In order to contain the
spread of Covid-19, it is essen-
tial to conduct a thorough
contact tracing of affected per-
sons, especially in contain-
ment zones and as such, the
ICMR strategy for Covid-19
testing should be followed
without any deviation,” said the
order issued by the LG.
Reacting to the LG order,
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal on Monday said the
order overruling AAP
Government’s decision to
reserve State-run and private
hospitals for Delhiites has cre-
ated a major problem and chal-
lenge for the residents of the
city.
“May be God wants us to
serve the people of the whole
country. We will try to provide
treatment to all,” he said.

The unclock India phase on
Monday witnessed malls,
restaurants and religious places
re-opening after 75 days with
utmost caution.
Social distancing, manda-
tory use of sanitizer and pres-
ence of “Arogya setu” app on
mobile phones were some of
the safeguards that were made
mandatory, but these were also
flouted at many places.
While several religious
places refused to open up fear-
ing the impact of crowding.
Some other ran a trial run and
postponed re-opening to two
more days before new norms
are put in place.
Interestingly, while the
Government is trying to unlock
the country, Mizoram Chief
Minister CM Zoramthanga has
ordered a complete lockdown
in the State (with 42 con-
firmed cases) for two weeks
from Monday midnight.
States like Maharashtra has
not given a green signal to tem-
ples, hotels, and restaurants to
reopen. However, the State
Government has allowed pri-
vate offices to resume with 10
per cent of staff. The
Brihanmumbai Electric Supply
and Transport (BEST) have
resumed operations to carry
passengers to their workplaces.
However, only 30 people can sit
and five can stand in a single
bus. Only one passenger will be
allowed per seat.
In Uttarakhand, purohits
advised against the opening of
“Char Dham teerath” in view of
surge in Covid-19 cases in the
State.
The temple authorities
though agreed that business-
men engaged in religious trav-
el tourism were facing eco-
nomic problems, but said there
is no justification for reopen-
ing temples until June 30.

The Union Health Ministry
on Monday asked officials
of 45 civic bodies across 38 dis-
tricts in 10 States, that are wit-
nessing a surge in Covid-19
cases, to focus on house-to-
house surveys, carry out
prompt testing and undertake
active surveillance measures to
contain the infection and
reduce mortality.
Union Health Secretary
Preeti Sudan along with senior
officers of the Health Ministry
held a high level review meet-
ing, via video conference, with
the district collectors, munic-
ipal commissioners, superin-
tendent of district hospitals
and principals of medical col-
leges from 45 municipal cor-
porations.
The 38 districts are from
Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil
Nadu, Rajasthan, Haryana,
Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir,
Karnataka, Uttarakhand and
Madhya Pradesh.
In view of the easing of
lockdown and lifting of curbs,
States were advised to make a
district-wise prospective plan
for the coming months.

After a gap of 24 hours,
Maharashtra was back to
three digits in terms of Covid-
19 fatalities on Monday, as
109 more people succumbed to
coronavirus and 2,553 others
tested positive for the pan-
demic in various parts of the
State.
With fresh deaths and
infections, the total number of
deaths mounted to 3,169 and
the total number of infected
cases rose to 88,528 in the State.
Countrywide, India on
Monday added 9,594 cases
and 273 deaths, which took its
the overall tally of cases to
2,67,096 and death to nearly
7,480.
With 1,562 persons testing
positive for Covid-19 on
Monday, the number of active
coronavirus afflicted patients in
Tamil Nadu reached 15,413.
According to a press release
issued by the Health
Department on Monday, till
date the State has tested 33,229
persons. The day also saw 528
persons cured of the pandem-
ic leaving hospitals for their
homes taking the number of
patients who were cured till
date to 17,527.
But the death toll is a blot
on the Tamil Nadu statistics as
17 persons succumbed to the
pandemic on Monday and the
total fatalities stood at 286.

After facing acute shortage
of labourers, industries and
companies are making all-out
efforts to woo migrant workers
by offering them advance pay-
ments, increased wages, and
confirmed train tickets for
their return. In some cases,
companies are also providing
flight tickets to migrant work-
ers to bring them back from
their home districts.
Farmers in Punjab and
Haryana are also luring
migrant labourers back for
paddy transplantation. They
are also sending buses to vari-
ous destinations in UP and
Bihar. They have offered free
train tickets, free liquor, foods,
mobile recharge to their
labourers back for rice cultiva-
tion during kharif season.
According to Paraminderjit
Singh, a farmer from
Pathankot, he has sent two
buses to Buxar’s Rustampur vil-
lage to bring back 50 farm
labourers.
Labourers were asking for
almost C5,000 per acre for
paddy transplantation. Earlier,
it used to be between C2,200
and C2,700, said another
farmer.
Last week farmers of
Bhatinda and Ludhiana sent
buses to Bihar and eastern UP
to pick up a group of 150 farm
labourers from a cluster of vil-
lages.
Another bus sent by a
Ludhiana farmer had earlier
picked up 30 migrant workers
from Haripur village in the
same district. Paddy trans-
plantation is a labour-intensive
exercise in which nurseries are
transplanted in puddled fields,
for which at least two to three
workers per acre are required.

Coronavirus DNA left on a
hospital bed rail from the
infected patients was traced in
nearly half of all sites sampled
across a ward within 10 hours.
The trace of the contagion
lasted for at least five days.
This alarming finding of a
new study may explain why
high number of hospital health
workers are testing positive or
succumbing to Covid-19.
The study by researchers
from University College,
London (UCL) and Great
Ormond Street Hospital
(GOSH), published as a letter
in the Journal of Hospital
Infection, shows how the virus
may spread across surfaces in
hospitals.
According to a report on
an average 6 per cent of all con-
firmed Covid-19 cases are
among healthcare workers.
The report by the
International Council of Nurses
says that at least 90,000 health-
care workers have been infect-
ed with the coronavirus across
the globe.
Instead of using the SARS-
CoV-2 virus, researchers arti-
ficially replicated a section of
DNA from a plant-infecting
virus, which cannot infect
humans, and added it to a mil-
lilitre of water at the similar
concentration to SARS-CoV-2
copies found in the respirato-
ry samples of infected patients.
The researchers also cau-
tioned that the virus will like-
ly spread within bodily fluid
such as cough droplets, where-
as the study used virus DNA in
water. “More sticky fluid such
as mucus would likely spread
more easily,” warned the
researchers.

Defence Minister Rajnath
Singh on Monday
reviewed the situation on the
Line of Actual Control (LAC)
in Ladakh with Chief of
Defence Staff General Bipin
Rawat and three Services
Chiefs — General M Naravane,
IAF Chief RK Bhadauria and
Admiral Karambir Singh. This
came two days after talks
between senior military com-
manders of India and China to
defuse tension on the border
due to month-long stand-offs
at multiple sites.
Favouring resolution of
the ongoing issues on the LAC
through dialogue after these
talks, the Chinese Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in
Beijing on Monday the situa-
tion all along the border is
“stable and controllable” and
the two sides are ready to
engage in consultation to
“properly solve the relevant
issues.”
Answering questions on
the talks between Lt General
Harinder Singh and Major
General Liu Lin, MFA
spokesperson Hua Chunying
said, “One consensus is that the
two sides need to implement
the understanding reached by
the leaders of the two countries
and make sure that differences
do not escalate into disputes.”
She also said two sides
will work to maintain peace
and tranquility along the bor-
der and create a good atmos-
phere.
The reference to leaders
pertained to the informal sum-
mit meetings between Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and
President Xi Jingping in the last
two years. It was agreed
between the two countries that
boundary disputes will be
resolved through the strategic
direction given by the two
leaders to their armed forces.

Congress president Sonia
Gandhi has successfully
persuaded former Prime
Minister HD Deve Gowda to
contest the June 19 Rajya Sabha
elections from Karnataka.
Gowda will file his nomina-
tions on June 9, his son and
former Chief Minister HD
Kumaraswamy said on
Monday.
Kumaraswamy said the
JD(S) patriarch took the deci-
sion following the request from
the Congress president, sever-
al national leaders, and party
legislators. The JD(S), which
has 34 seats in the Assembly, is
not in a position to win a seat
in Rajya Sabha on its own and
will need support from the
Congress with its surplus votes.
A minimum of 45 votes are
required for candidates to win.
If he wins, this will be the sec-
ond Rajya Sabha entry for 87-
year-old Gowda, the first time
being in 1996 as PM.
Gowda was defeated in
Tumkur by BJP’s GS Basavaraj
by over 13,000 votes in the 2019
Lok Sabha polls.

pening at the India-China bor-
der and he will speak on it in
Parliament. “As the Defence
Minister of the country, I want
to say that whatever I have to
say I will say it inside

Himachal Chief Minister Jai
Ram Thakur on MOnday
said that effective use of social
media should be made for
proper and prompt dissemi-
nation of news, adding that in
the present era of communi-
cation, the role of media was
vital and the PR professionals
should think out of the box for
effective dissemination of poli-
cies and programmes of the
State Government.
Presiding over the meeting
of Officers of Information and
Public Relations Department
here, the Chief Minister He said
that latest technologies must be
used for publicizing the various
developmental schemes,
adding that success stories and
developmental features should
be brought out and provided to
both print and electronic
media.
Thakur said regular publi-
cations of the department's
Giriraj Weekly and Himprastha
monthly magazine could be
effective tools of publicity and
helpful in providing people
factual information regarding
policies and programmes of the
State Government. He said
that more interesting and
research based articles should
be published in Giriraj Weekly,
adding that the contents to be
carried out in the Weekly
should be planned in advance
to make it more readable and
impactful.
The Chief Minister also
asked the officers of the depart-
ment to study other PR depart-
ments of different states so that
some innovations could be
brought out in the depart-
ment. He said that the depart-
ment should act as a bridge
between the government and
common people for which the
PR professionals should main-
tain better liaison not only
with the media persons but also
with the common people and
opinion makers.
Thakur said creativity was
the first prerequisite of effective
public relations, adding that PR
professionals should be more
creative and articulate in mak-
ing their stories more impact-
ful. He said that the officers
should also ensure maximum
use of various social media
platforms like youtube, face-
book, twitters and blog etc.
The Chief Minister said
apart from ensuring optimum
use of modern modes of com-
munications, traditional media
should also be given preference
as it was more effective partic-
ularly in the rural areas, point-
ing out that catchy and attrac-
tive hoardings should also be
erected at strategic locations to
publicise the policies and pro-
grammes of the State
Government.
Chief Secretary Anil
Khachi, Principal Secretary to
Chief Minister J.C. Sharma
were present in the meeting in
which Director Information
and Public Relations Harbans
Singh Brascon made a detailed
presentation regarding vari-
ous activities of the depart-
ment. Senior officers of the

ing.
HIMACHAL CM LAUNCH-
ES PANCHVATI YOJNA FOR
SENIOR CITIZENS
Himachal Chief Minister
Jai Ram Thakur on Monday
launched ‘Panchvati Yojna’ for
senior citizens of rural areas of
the State under which parks
and gardens would be devel-
oped in every Development
block with necessary facilities
under MNREGA Scheme of
Rural Development
Department.
The main objective of
this Yojna was to provide
opportunity to the elderly
people to spend their leisure
time in entertainment and
strolling in these parks and
gardens, he said, adding that
these parks and gardens
would be developed on lev-
eled land of minimum one
bigha with convergence of
MGNREGA, Swachh Bharat
Mission (Grameen) and 14th
Finance Commission to
enhance the life expectancy
keeping in view the health
requirements of the senior cit-
izens.
Thakur said ayurvedic
and medicinal plants would

viding recreational equip-
ment, walking tracks and
other basic amenities for

programmes with special focus
on rural development, the

the focus of the Government
was on rural oriented policies

ment in these areas.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal’s decision to treat
patients only from the nation-
al capital in private and Delhi
Government-affiliated hospi-
tals on Monday attained polit-
ical proportions in Punjab with
the State Government seeking
a review of the decision after
describing it as “completely
wrong”.
Joining in, the Shiromani
Akali Dal (SAD) too con-
demned the “inhuman deci-
sion” to limit treatment to only
Delhi residents in its hospitals,
and demanded to withdraw the
decision immediately.
Notably, Kejriwal, in his
televised address on Sunday,
made it clear that the hospitals
affiliated with Delhi
Government will be reserved
only for the residents of Delhi,
while the Central Government
Hospitals will remain open for
the people who come from
other states to Delhi for treat-
ment.
Reacting strongly, Sidhu
said: “India is one nation.
Punjabis are the residents of
India, and Delhi is a national
capital, and the state shouldn't
matter. We, in Punjab, have not
stopped anyone. We have been
treating people even from other
countries. We have gave quar-
antine facilities to the students
from Jammu and Kashmiri,
kept people from UP and Bihar
in isolation wards.”
“We will write a letter to
the Delhi Government asking
them to review the decision as
it is not correct,” declared the
Minister.
Sidhu pointed out that in
case “there is someone from
Punjab or other states, already
undergoing treatment in Delhi
hospital, they have to complete
it from there, otherwise they
have to start from the begin-
ning.
If someone has undergone
a heart or cancer operation
from there, they have to com-
plete their treatment from that
hospital only. In fact, they
should welcome such patients
with open arms….Delhi is a
national capital…it is com-
mon for all”.
SAD WANT “INHUMAN
DECISION” TO BE WITH-
DRAWN
Condemning Kejriwal for
resorting to “inhuman con-
duct by discriminating
against the people of the
country” by stating that only
Delhi residents would be
treated in State Government
Hospitals, Punjab’s regional
party, Shiromani Akali Dal
(SAD), has demanded the
immediate withdrawal of the
decision.
“It is for the first time in the
history of the country that a
Chief Minister has tried to
discriminate against country-
men by announcing that they
would not be given treatment
in State hospitals,” said SAD
spokesperson and former min-
ister Daljit Singh Cheema.
Stating that the decision
was anti-people, Cheema said
that this was not the first time
that Kejriwal had taken such
draconian decisions. “Earlier,
the Delhi Chief Minister had
forced lakhs of migrants to flee
Delhi after denying them
ration. Now, he is denying
treatment to lakhs of people
who might not have domicile
papers of residence in Delhi
even though they are living
there for work purposes,” he
said.
Asking Kejriwal to with-
draw this inhuman decision
immediately, Cheema said that
the Delhi CM could ask for
Central or even assistance from
other States to ensure no one
was denied prompt treatment
during a time of the pandem-
ic.
KEJRIWAL’S DECISION
A day before, Delhi Chief
Minister Kejriwal made it
clear that the private and
Delhi government-affiliated
hospitals will be reserved only
for the residents of Delhi,
while the Central Government
hospitals will remain open
for the people who come from
other states to Delhi for treat-
ment.
The decision was taken as
the national capital continues
to witness an alarming rise in
the number of COVID-19
cases with over a thousand
fresh infections being reported
daily.
A whopping 1,320 fresh
coronavirus cases were report-
ed on Saturday, while 1,282
fresh infections were reported
on Sunday, taking the COVID-
19 tally in Delhi to 28,936 while
the death toll climbed to 812.

In his last address to the
nation, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi had asked cit-
izens to be 'vocal for local'
encouraging them to use and
produce more local products
which can be helpful to revive
the country's economy in the
current crisis. Talking about it,
several locals shared what
'vocal for local' means to them.
While most of them opined
that it is important to stop
using Chinese products includ-
ing digital applications and
support local businesses, some
said that production of quali-
ty products is also necessary to
ensure the long-term business
of locals.
According to a post grad-
uate student Nirav Tyagi, it is
not feasible to stop using
Chinese products at once but
the least a citizen can do is to
uninstall the Chinese apps like
Tiktok, UC Browser and gam-
ing apps like PUBG. These
apps earn millions of dollars for
China from Indian users. The
coronavirus pandemic is trag-
ic but it has also given several
opportunities to produce and
manufacture products like elec-
tronic items, toys, spare parts
of machineries etc.
The government is also
providing cheap loans to start
small businesses to promote
local products. Any person
with a business idea can utilise
this time to start his own start-
up. I am also thinking about
my own start up with my
friend. At least, we can try. But,
everyone should delete the
Chinese applications from their
mobile phones irrespective of
their take on 'vocal for local'
and avoid buying all the
Chinese products you can
because such products snatch
the livelihood and opportuni-
ties from so many Indians ,
said a local engineer Sanju
Rai.
“The purpose of 'vocal for
local' is same as 'Made in India'
campaign. It is nothing new but
it is easier said than done. One
cannot purchase a product just
because it is local.
A buyer should have
options to try out and select the
best products manufactured
in the local market. I am not
going to buy a trash product
just because it is native. The
production of quality products
is the key to make customers
vocal for the local products,
said Ekta Dwivedy, a local
teacher.0

On receiving a complaint
from the National
Association of Parents and
Student's Rights (NAPSR)
about harassment and molesta-
tion of students in some board-
ing schools of Dehradun, the
chairperson of State
Commission for Protection of
Child Rights (SCPCR) Usha
Negi has directed chief educa-
tion officer of Dehradun to
investigate the matter.
According to the complaint let-
ter written by the president of
NAPSR Arif Khan to the
commission, several cases of
students being harassed in
hostels of residential schools
have come to light in recent
times. While in some cases, the
culprit gets the punishment but
the schools do not face any
consequences for their negli-
gence towards the safety of stu-
dents, as per Khan. He states
that most of such incidents
occur in the hostels of board-
ing schools. According to him,
some schools also try to harass
and pressurise the victims to
maintain the reputation of
their institutes and in some
cases they even help the
accused. He also mentioned a
recent incident in his complaint
letter in which a nine year old
child was allegedly harassed
and molested by the hostel war-
den.
He said that though the
culprit was arrested by police,
the school administration did
not face any charges. He also
mentioned another case in
which a school management
helped an accused to escape.
Considering the complaint,
Negi asked the chief education
officer to investigate the mat-
ter and submit the report to
SCPCR within 15 days. She
also advised the officer to can-
cel the NOC of the schools
found neglecting the protocols
set by administration for the
safety of students.

The Municipal Corporation
of Dehradun (MCD) col-
lected C78,750 on Monday-
the first day after resumption
of property tax collection
after a gap of about three
months.
The municipal tax super-
intendent Vinay Pratap Singh
said that only 25 people were
issued the tokens to deposit the
property tax on the first day
and the remaining were pro-
vided with 25 tokens for the
next day.
The taxpayers who
reached the MCD compound
by 11:30 AM were issued the
tokens and seated in Town
Hall while maintaining the
social distancing among people
and officials inside the hall.
Due to the limited num-
ber of taxpayers allowed per
day, the process of tax submis-
sion was finished in about two
hours.
Moreover, a few locals also
arrived in the corporation after
the said time to deposit the
property tax but the MCD
employees asked them to
return on Tuesday for the
tokens by the given time.
According to Dehradun
municipal commissioner Vinay
Shankar Pandey, the decisions
like setting up the property tax
collection counters and com-
plaint counters for locals in
Town Hall was taken to con-
tinue the work process of MCD
while ensuring the safety of
locals as well as employees
working in the corporation.

The Mahakumbh to be held
in Haridwar in 2021 will be
held on schedule. Dispelling
the doubts about Kumbh's pos-
sible postponement as baseless,
Acharya Mahamandaleshwar
Avadheshanand Giri of Juna
Akhada, has said that this time
the period of Kumbh Mela after
a gap of 11 years has occurred
after a long time, so there is no
question of postponement of
the Kumbh. The Swami said
that after many years the pace
of Guru (Jupiter) has increased,
due to which the Kumbh Mela
is being held 11 years after the
previous Kumbh Mela instead
of the traditional 12-year gap.
He said that the Kumbh Mela
2021 will be held as scheduled
and the first Shahi Snan will
take place on March 11.
Due to the Covid-19 pan-
demic, it was being speculated
by some that the Kumbh in
Haridwar would be postponed
by one year. It was being stat-
ed that this was possible
because the last Kumbh Mela
in Haridwar was held during
2010 and if it is postponed by
a year, it will be held after a gap
of 12 years in 2022.
However, Avadheshanand
Giri believes that if the condi-
tions do not improve at the
time of Kumbh, then there
would be a symbolic Kumbh
bath, but the Kumbh Mela
would not be postponed at any
cost.

With the Governor Baby
Rani Maurya giving her
assent to the declaration of
Bharadisain (Gairsain) in
Chamoli district as the summer
capital of Uttarakhand, a noti-
fication to this effect was issued
on Monday. Expressing happi-
ness at this development, the
Chief Minister Trivendra Singh
Rawat said that Bharadisain
will be developed as an ideal
mountainous capital. In the
coming times, Bharadisain will
establish its identity as one of
the most beautiful capitals, he
said.
The Chief Minister said,
“We had announced on March
4 earlier this year that
Bharadisain would be made the
summer capital of
Uttarakhand. That was hon-
ouring the sentiments of 1.25
crore Uttarakhandis. Now that
the notification has been
issued, Bharadisain (Gairsain)
is officially the summer capital
of the state.”
The CM further said that
making Gairsain the summer
capital of the state was promi-
nently mentioned in the 2017
vision document of the
Bharatiya Janata Party.
Work plan is being pre-
pared for facilitating basic
infrastructure in the area with
inputs from planners and
experts. Necessary infrastruc-
ture in accordance with the
capital status of Bharadisain
(Gairsain) is also being devel-
oped.
To avoid taking a large
quantity of files, work is also
being undertake to develop it
as an e-Vidhan Sabha. This will
encourage paperless culture.
Further, for proper supply of
drinking water, Chairda lake is
being built on the Ramganga
river.After the formation of
this lake, gravity based water
supply will be enabled in
Bharadisain, Gairsain and near-
by areas.
Rawat further said, “We are
also working on Gairsain’s con-
nectivity. Roads connecting
Bharadisain, Gairsain will be
widened as per the require-
ment. In addition to this, work
is underway at a brisk pace on
the Rishikesh-Karnprayag rail
project. After the completion of
this project, the rail will reach
quite close to Gairsain,” said the
chief minister.

Reacting to the State
Government’s notification
on granting summer capital
status to Gairsain in Chamoli
district, the Uttarakhand
Congress party has termed it
as an effort to divert attention
from Covid-19 pandemic.
The vice president of
Uttarakhand Congress, Surya
Kant Dhasmana said that the
State Government has failed
miserably in controlling the
contagion of Covid-19 and in
such a situation it has retort-
ed to gimmick of notification
on Gairsain.
He said that the Pradesh
Congress Committee (PCC)
President Pritam Singh has
already cleared the stand of the
Congress party on the issue.
Dhasmana said that the
State Government should clar-
ify as to what is the permanent
capital of Uttarakhand and
then explain the rationale
behind having two temporary
capitals of the state.
The Congress leader said
that aspirations of people of all
three regions of state, Garhwal,
Kumaon and Tarai are deeply
associated with Gairsain and it
was the symbol of unity and
consensus during the state-
hood movement.
He said that keeping the
aspirations of people and
importance of Gairsain in
mind, the Congress govern-
ment organised a cabinet
meeting in tents in Gairsain in
the year 2012 and followed it
up with an assembly session
there. “It was the Congress
party which started work on
construction of Vidhan Sabha
building and secretariat,
The BJP government
should tell people of
Uttarakhand- whether a single
brick was placed in Gairsain
during three years of its rule?
The behaviour of BJP is child-
ish in staking its claim on
works of Congress. It was the
Congress party which initiat-
ed the process on Gairsain and
the task would be accom-
plished by the Congress alone,’’
he said.

The State Minister for high-

Rawat has said that strict action
would be taken against the offi-

execution of infrastructure pro-
jects in the universities in the
state.
The Minister said this
while undertaking a review
meeting of the higher educa-
tion at his Vidhan Sabha office
on Monday.

expressed his displeasure at
slow pace of construction
works in the projects taken
under Rashtriya Uchchatar
Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)-
phase I. On a stern note he said
that action would be initiated
against the officials responsible
if the works are not completed
on time.
He said that a sum of C87.43
Crore was provided under
phase I of RUSA in the finan-
cial year 2019-20 for infra-
structural development of uni-
versities but many have failed
to spend the budget.
In the meeting the progress
of the works of Doon
University, Kumaon University,
Sridev Suman University and
Uttarakhand Sanskrit
University was reviewed.
Senior officials of higher edu-
cation department and Vice

ulation is 3,169, the mortality
rate is about one per cent com-
pared to the national mortali-
ty rate of 2.78 per cent.
Addressing the media here
on Monday, the chief secretary
reiterated that though there has
been an increase in Covid-19
cases recently, this is no cause
for being afraid. The State has
considerably enhanced its
health facilities. Currently, the
state has about 20,000 beds for
Covid-19 patients while 243
ICU beds and 126 ventilators
are also available. Singh said
that special stress is being laid
on contact tracing with 6,294
contacts of 1,380 Covid-19
positive patients being traced
so far. The health of these
contacts is monitored and nec-
essary action is
taken based on
their risk profile.
Currently, there
are about 1.30
lakh people
under quarantine
in the state. Most
of these are
under home
q u a r a n t i n e .
Further, 55 con-
tainment zones
have been estab-
lished in the state
where necessary
measures are
being implemented strictly.
Citing weekly data, Singh
said that from May 25 to 31, the
doubling rate was 4.58 days and
sample positivity rate was 8.83
per cent. However, from June
1 to 7, the doubling rate rose to
about 16 days while the sam-
ple positivity rate is about 6.16
per cent. Similarly, from May
25 to 31 970 samples were test-
ed while the number of beds
was 8,375 whereas from June
1 to 7, the number of samples
tested was 1,053 and the num-
ber of beds is 18,234.
The chief secretary further
informed that strict action is
being taken against those vio-
lating the rules.
So far about 29,737 people
have been arrested, 7,977 vehi-
cles have been seized and C 3.35
crore has been collected in
penalty. Referring to guidelines
for hotels, shopping malls and
religious places, he said that
physical distancing, sanitisation
and wearing of mask is manda-
tory in such places. If discipline
is maintained and rules are
observed, facilities could be
enhanced in the future, he
added.

In an objective of keeping
an eye on suspected
patients of Covid-19, the
state government has asked
the chemist shops to keep a
record of the patients of cold,
cough and fever taking med-
icines from them.
The chemists have also
been directed not to give
medicines without the pre-
scription of doctors.
In an order the
Commissioner Food safety
and drug administration,
Pankaj Kumar Pandey said
that drug inspectors would
conduct surprise checks of
the medical stores to ensure
that the directives regarding
the cough, cold and fever
patients are strictly fol-
lowed.

Due to the Covid-19 lock-
down, the delivery of two
VVIP aircraft including, Air
India One for the Prime
Minister, will be delayed.
According to officials, the
manufacturer Boeing informed
Indian authorities that the
delivery of these two custom-
made aircraft will be in
September instead of the ear-
lier promised delivery by July.
Boeing will supply the custom-
made B777 planes for VVIP
travel to Air India.
In October last year, gov-
ernment officials had said that
the delivery of these two planes,
which are earmarked for
VVIP travel only, would be
done by July.
“There has been some
delay, primarily because of
Covid-19. The two planes are
likely to be delivered by
September,” the officials said
on Monday.
The two B777 aircraft
worth C810 crore will be oper-
ated by pilots of the Indian Air
Force and not of Air India.
However, the new wide-
body planes will be maintained
by the Air India Engineering
Services Limited (AIESL),
which is a subsidiary of the
Indian national carrier, the
officials said. Currently, the
Prime minister, the President
and the Vice President
fly on Air India’s B747 planes,
which have the call sign ‘Air
India One’.
The new planes will be
used for travel of the
dignitaries only.
These two aircrafts were
part of Air India’s commercial
fleet for a few months in 2018
before they were sent back to
Boeing for retrofitting them for
VVIP travel.
The B777 planes will have
state-of-the-art missile defence
systems called Large Aircraft
Infrared Countermeasures
(LAIRCM) and Self-Protection
Suites (SPS).
In February, the US agreed
to sell the two defence systems
to India at a cost of USD 190
million for these two aircrafts.

The Centre has mandated a one-cm
green sticker, providing registration
details, in all BS-VI compliant motor
vehicles. The order will come into
force from October 1, 2020.
“Vehicles complying with BS-VI
emission norms shall have 1 cm green
strip at the top in the third registration
plate,” as per a notification issued by the
Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways. The order was issued amend-
ing the Motor Vehicles (High Security
Registration Plates) order, 2018.
Earlier, the Government has said
that from April 1, 2019, all motor vehi-
cles will be fitted with tamper-proof,
high security registration plates (HSRP).
This HSRP or third number plate
will be fitted on the inside of the wind-
shield of each new manufactured vehi-
cle by the manufacturers.
Under the HSRP, a chromium-
based hologram is applied by hot stamp-
ing on the top left corner of the number
plates both at the front and back besides
laser-branding of a permanent identifi-
cation number with a minimum of 10
digits into the reflective sheeting on the
bottom left of the registration plate.
The third number plate will also
have colour coding for the fuel used in
the vehicle. The colour coding is done
in order to detect polluting vehicles
from the non-polluting ones.
A Road Transport and Highways
Ministry official said it has been
brought-forth that the BS-VI emission
standards, which have been mandated
from April 1, 2020, provide for strict
emission norms, and requests were to
made to have distinct identification for
such vehicles as is being made in other
countries.
“Accordingly, a feature in form of a
unique strip of green colour of 1 cm
wide on top of the existing third regis-
tration sticker for the purpose of BS-VI
vehicles of any fuel type i.e. — for petrol
or CNG, which have a light blue colour
sticker and a diesel vehicle which is of
orange colour sticker — will have a
green strip of 1 CM on top has been
mandated,” he said.

The World Meteorological
Organisation (WMO) has
lauded the India
Meteorological Department
(IMD) for its “accurate predic-
tion” of Cyclone Amphan.
In a letter, dated June 2,
addressed to IMD Director
General Mrutunjay Mohapatra,
WMO Secretary General E
Manaenkova said the cyclone
advisories were provided to the
WMO and in particular
Bangladesh which was also
affected by the storm.
“The accurate prediction of
the genesis, track, intensity,
landfall point and time as well
as associated weather like storm
surge, rainfall and wind by
IMD/RSMC New Delhi with a
lead period of more than three
days has immensely helped in
their early response and
actions,” the letter said. “WMO
secretary general used the
information from the bulletins
to communicate with the UN
secretary general about
Amphan. Those bulletins were
also well-utilised by the WMO
officer in New York to daily
brief the relevant entities of the
United Nations at its head-
quarters on the status and
potential impact of Cyclone
Amphan,” the letter added.
WMO had earlier appreci-
ated IMD for prediction of
cyclone Fani in Odisha in 2019.
Amphan intensified into a
super cyclonic storm. It hit the
Sunderbans and West Bengal
coast as an extremely severe
cyclonic storm on May 20.
The Regional Specialised
Meteorological Centre for
Tropical Cyclones over the
North Indian Ocean is based in
Delhi. Through it, the IMD
provides cyclone-related infor-
mation to all the related
countries in the North Indian
Ocean, Arabian Sea and |
Bay of Bengal.
The services provided by
the IMD have been showcased
as an “excellent lesson” and best
practices in tropical cyclone
forecasting and warning ser-
vices and response actions
leading to sufficient prepared-
ness for mitigation of losses and
damages.

The Supreme Court Monday
sought response from the
Centre and the National
Disaster Management
Authority (NDMA) on a plea
by an NGO seeking framing of
a policy to prevent child traf-
ficking which has allegedly
seen a sudden rise during the
Covid-19 lockdown.
A bench headed by Chief
Justice S A Bobde, hearing the
PIL filed by the NGO —
‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’, run
by Nobel laureate Kailash
Satayathi — issued notices to
the NDMA, Ministries of
Home Affairs and Labour and
Empowerment and nine states.
The bench, also compris-
ing Justices AS Bopanna and
Hrisheksh Roy, took note of the
submissions of senior advocate
HS Phoolka on behalf of the
NGO and asked him to find
and suggest “some way” to
ensure that children are not
“exploited”.

Former Prime Minister HD
Deve Gowda has decided to
contest the June 19 Rajya Sabha
elections from Karnataka, and
will be filing his nominations
on June 9, his son and former
Chief Minister HD
Kumaraswamy said on
Monday.
He said the JD(S) patriarch
made his decision following the
request of Congress president
Sonia Gandhi, several nation-
al leaders and party legislators,
and it was not an easy task to
“persuade” him to enter the
Rajya Sabha. He is going to file
his nominations tomorrow.
“Thanks to Sri DeveGowda
for agreeing to everyone’s con-
sensus…From the people, for-
mer Prime Minister
DeveGowda has seen success
and defeat. By the people, he has
acquired higher positions. It was
not an easy task to persuade
DeveGowda to enter the Rajya
Sabha,” Kumaraswamy tweeted.
The JD(S), which has 34
seats in the A`ssembly, is not in
a position to win a seat in Rajya
Sabha on its own and will need
support from the Congress
with its surplus votes. A min-
imum of 45 votes are required
for candidates to win. If he wins,
this will be the second Rajya
Sabha entry for 87-year-old
Gowda, the first time being in
1996 as Prime Minister.
Gowda was defeated in
Tumkur constituency by BJP’s
GS Basavaraj by over 13,000
votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha
polls. As joint candidate of the
then ruling Congress-JD(S)
coalition, Gowda had chosen to
contest from Tumkur at the last
minuteaftervacatingHassan-his
home turf, to grandson Prajwal
Revanna (a current MP).
Election is scheduled on
June 19 to fill four Rajya Sabha
seats from Karnataka repre-
sented by Rajeev Gowda and
BK Hariprasad of the Congress,
Prabhakar Kore of the BJP
and D Kupendra Reddy of the
JD(S) that will fall vacant on
June 25, with their retirement.
June 9 is the last date for filing
nominations.
Responding to a question
about Kumaraswamy’s tweet
that Gowda is contesting on the
request of Sonia Gandhi and
whether the State Congress
was kept in the loop, KPCC
chief DK Shivakumar said what
has been discussed internally,
cannot be shared outside.
Stating that the State lead-
ership cannot interfere in the
decision taken by the high
command, he said, “Things
have been discussed with us...
Whoever is authorised to talk
on a matter, only they have to
talk about it. I cannot talk on
a matter related to the former
PM…It is a national issue,
national leadership has decid-
ed something to send a mes-
sage to the country, we will
abide by it.”
“It is his (Kumaraswamy)
greatness that he has made a
reference to our leader. I will
leave it to him,” Shivakumar
said and asserted that the State
unit would abide by the nation-
al leadership’s decision.
According to JD(S)
sources, Gowda was not keen
on contesting the Rajya Sabha
polls, and there was a feeling
that taking support from the
Congress will make it difficult
for JD(S) prospects in the old
Mysuru region, where the
Congress is its traditional rival,
as it happened during the 2019
Lok Sabha polls, which both
parties fought in alliance. After
the alliance faced a rout in the
polls, dissidence sprung up
within, which eventually led to
the collapse of the Congress-
JD(S) coalition Government
headed by Kumaraswamy.

In a reform that can bring a
big cheer to prisoners and
their loved ones, the Centre is
considering a digital interface
meeting of jail inmates with
their kin, to be enabled
through a Government digital
portal like Common Service
Centres (CSC).
After the prototype success
of e-Mulakat of such a platform
in Jharkhand, sources in the
Ministry of Information and
Technology said the same can
be replicated across the States
but this has to be in agreement
with the Centre and States.
Jharkhand Government’s
recently launched e-Mulakat
has enabled around 300 such
meetings between the jail
inmates and their relatives.
“The family member has to pay
C30 for such facility to the CSC
operator for a maximum of 15
minutes interaction. It is esti-
mated that this service has
reduced administrative and
security overhead of jails by
more than 60 per cent. Issues of
unhealthy practices as some-
times reported from jails/pris-
ons regarding such a meeting is
now negligible,” said a
Jharkhand Government official.
In normal cases, the fami-
ly member has to travel a long
distance to go and meet the per-
son in the jail incurring costs
and inconvenience. Besides,
the jail authority has to put in
a lot of efforts and formalities
to enable it and then there is of
course the risk of items being
smuggled to the jail in such
physical contacts between the
inmate and an outsider. But
through the digital platform,
first a request is sent to the con-
cerned jail authority online
and after the request is accept-
ed the interaction is allowed.
“Today the technology is
available and what is required
is a push at the administrative
levels. It is a fact that life of
common citizen can be sim-
plified through such reforms
and Covid 19 has provided the
desired opportunity to unleash
the same across the country,”
said CSC CEO Dr Dinesh
Tyagi, when his comments
were sought on e-Mulakat.
If the system of all jails is
centrally integrated with CSC, it
islikelythatapersonofoneState,
sayBihar,stayinginMaharashtra

and do a Video Conference

needs to ask all the State gov-
ernmentstoimplementinalljails
acrossthecountry.Howlongwe
willgiveparoles.Thisisthesafest
method and an accepted norm
for both the inmates and his rel-
atives,” said the official.
Presently, the Central
Government’s digital arm —
CSC — has presence in almost
all panchayats across the coun-
try giving access and services
to most government related
work, issues and solutions
which include banking ser-
vices to even examinations,
tele-law, tele-medicine, and e-
pashu for animals.

The Congress on Monday
attacked the Centre over its
ineffectiveness towards the
International border problem
and in tackling the migrants’
issue within the country during
thecoronapandemiclockdown.
Former party chief Rahul
Gandhi also took a swipe at
Home Minister Amit Shah for
his remarks that India is strong
in protecting its borders saying
everyoneknowstherealityofthe
situationatthecountry’sborders.
Rahul has been attacking
the Government and the Prime
Minister on the border stand-
off with China in Ladakh and
has been asking the
Government to come clean on
the situation there.
“Everyone knows the real-
ity of the ‘borders’, but the
thought is good to keep one’s
heart happy,” he said in a tweet
in Hindi. Rahul Gandhi
tweaked a couplet from noted
Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib to take
a dig at the Home Minister.
Shah had on Sunday said India’s
defence policy has gained glob-
al acceptance and the world
agrees that after the US and
Israel, if there is any other
country that is able to protect
its borders, it is India.
Asking the Prime Minister
not to view Centre’s “reliance on
the Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee
Act (MGNREGA) as the victo-
ry of the scheme or of BJP’s
political adversaries”, Congress
spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi
said the Government should
look at the scale of benefits the
scheme will provide tomigrants.
The Congress asked the
Government to expand the
scope of MGNREGA to meet
the growing work demand of 8
crore migrants expected to
relocate in villages in the wake
of the coronavirus pandemic.
He said Covid-19 has demon-
strated the “unmatched value of
a people-centric scheme like
the MGNREGA with a hum-
bled Modi Government being
constrained to commit an addi-
tional C40,000 crore to it”.
Singhvi said the scheme
was a Congress brainchild and
it has proved to be the world’s
largest social welfare scheme
and “clearly the most efficacious
government scheme”. He said
since the PM is “compelled to
fall back on a UPA scheme”, it
is only appropriate that the
Congress provides him with
additional guidance for the next
steps. The Congress leader said
the Government has rightly
given C40,000 crore extra, but it
must remember that the scale of
the disaster of Covid-19 will
require its further expansion.
With 8 crore migrants
expected to relocate due to
Covid-19, the Congress leader
urged the Government to
increase the number of guar-
anteed days of employment to
200 from the current 100 under
the scheme. Congress president
Sonia Gandhi, in an article, has
also said this is not about BJP
vs Congress, but MGNREGA
should be used to help people
of India.

Abortion access to around
1.85 million women was
compromised at all points of
care, including public and pri-
vatesectorfacilitiesandchemist
outlets due to the triggered
restrictions,accordingtoastudy
conductedbyIpasDevelopment
Foundation (IDF).
Vinoj Manning, CEO, IDF
said, “As majority of public
healthfacilitiesandtheirstaffare
nowfocusedonCovid-19treat-
ments and closures of private
health facilities, access to safe
abortions have been affected,
which is a time-sensitive proce-
dure. The study assesses the
near-term impact of contagion
on abortion access in India in
thefirstthreemonthsfollowing
thecommencementofthelock-
down beginning March 25.
Dr Sushanta Kumar
Banerjee from the Foundation
explained that telephonic sur-
veys was conducted and con-
sulted with several experts
from FOGSI and social mar-
keting organisations like PSI
India Private Limited.
Following analysis of the
data, “we have concluded that
of the 3.9 million abortions that
would have taken place in 3
months, access to around 1.85
million was compromised due
to the pandemic restrictions.”
The study estimates that
access to abortion was highly
compromised during lock-
down between March 25 and
May 3, 2020, in which around
59 per cent of women seeking
an abortion could not access
the services.
However, with the un-lock
phase, the situation is expect-
ed to improve — with 33 per
cent abortions being compro-
mised in 24 days.
To meet the needs of these
deprived women, the
Foundation has recommended
rapid mapping of facilities for
first and second trimester abor-
tions, assessing facilities’ pre-
paredness especially for second-
trimester abortions, improving
referral linkage and spread the
word about the availability of
the service, streamlining the
supply chain for medical abor-
tion drugs, and lastly including
mechanisms to offset addi-
tional travel and out of pocket
expenditures.
“Many of these 1.85 mil-
lion women will be coming
into public and private hospi-
tals seeking second trimester
abortions and we should not
be turning them away a second
time,” Manning said.

The HRD Ministry on Monday
started consultations with States
about the reopening of schools in
the country which along with other
academic institutions and collages
has remained shut across from
March 22 onwards due to the Covid-
19 pandemic related lockdown.
HRD Minister Ramesh
Pokhriyal Nishank, a couple of days
ago, had indicated that the
Government is planning to reopen
schools across the country after
August 15.
The opinions and suggestions
from the State Governments will
now be forwarded to the Union
Health Ministry for the necessary
coordination and prepare plan of
action and the Standard Operating
Procedure (SoP).
HRD Ministry sources said
School Education Secretary Anita
Karwal spoke to her counterparts in
States and took their opinion on the
opening of schools in the coming
months, and online and digital edu-
cation. “She discussed with State edu-
cation secretaries about the pre-
paredness for the opening of schools,
and what kind of arrangements will
be made by the administration for
the health and safety of students, and
the hygiene measures in schools,”
Ministry sources said. Karwal earli-
er this month indicated that the pan-
demic has put the focus on the qual-
ity of digital education.
A senior HRD Ministry official
said the States education secre-
taries have updated the HRD
Ministry about the opening of
schools and informed that every-
thing will depend on the situation
of Covid -19 pandemic in the State
during the coming days.
“Process for opening of schools
has begun but it takes more than two
months to open schools, depending
on Covid-19 pandemic situation,”
said the official.
Earlier in the day, the HRD
Minister tweeted, “I have directed
Anita Karwal, the Secretary of School
Education and Literacy department,
MHRD is taking a meeting of all state
educationsecretariestodiscusshealth
and safety of students, hygiene mea-
sures in schools and issues regarding
online/digitallearningintheirStates.”
Pokhriyal directed officials to
focus on online and digital educa-
tion as much as possible. He cleared
that no schools and colleges will
open without SoP issued from
Home Ministry for the opening of
schools and all schools and colleges
will have to follow the guidelines of
Home Ministry as well as Health
Ministry.
After the meeting sources said,
“MHRD is taking all precautionary
measures before the opening of
schools and colleges, and ensuring
that Covid-19 pandemic could not
impact students in any part of the
country.”
“HRD Ministry doesn’t want to
take any risk regarding the health
and security of students so HRD
Minister has advised officials not to
take any hurried decision for quick
opening of schools that may spread
Covid-19,” he added.
As per the schedule announced
last month by HRD Ministry, from
July 1 to 15, there will be exams and
the schools will open after the exam
and therafter all the pending
entrance examinations like JEE-IIT
NEET etc will be conducted.

The Union Health Ministry
on Monday asked officials
of 45 high-Covid-19-caseload
civic bodies across 38 districts
in 10 States to focus on house-
to-house surveys, carry out
prompt testing and undertake
active surveillance measures to
contain the infection and
reduce mortality.
The 38 districts are from
Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil
Nadu, Rajasthan, Haryana,
Gujarat, Jammu Kashmir,
Karnataka, Uttarakhand and
Madhya Pradesh.
“In view of easing of lock-
down and lifting of curbs, States
were advised to make a district-
wise prospective plan for the
coming months,” said Union
Health Secretary Preeti Sudan in
a high-level review meeting, via
video conference, with district
collectors, municipal commis-
sioners, superintendent of dis-
trict hospitals and principals of
medical colleges from 45
municipal corporations.
To reduce the case fatality
rate, the officials were briefed
on measures that include pri-
oritising high-risk and vulner-
able segments like elderly peo-
ple and people with comor-
bidities like diabetes while con-
tact-tracing to prevent deaths.
During the meeting, issues
discussed include widespread
infection in densely populated
urban areas, with areas that
shared public amenities, impor-
tance of house-to-house sur-
veys, prompt testing, clinical
management of cases and con-
tainment strategy which needs
to be implemented, it said.
“The State officials were
advised on the measures to be
taken in the containment zones
for case management and
buffer zones surveillance activ-
ities and promotion of Covid
appropriate behaviour,” the
Ministry said.
They were also asked to
focus on active surveillance
measures, adequate testing and
promoting health seeking
behaviour for timely detection
of cases.
In terms of infrastructure
and human resource manage-
ment for containment of
Covid-19, the Health Ministry
said proper planning for health
infrastructure should be taken
up, adequate number of sur-
veillance teams should be pro-
vided and a system should be
put in place for bed availabili-
ty management.
The Ministry also high-
lighted that along with Covid-
19 management efforts, care
needs to be given to regular and
essential health services that are
also available for the citizens.
Officialswereaskedtofocus
on areas like active house-to-
house survey for timely detec-
tion, augmentation of the sur-
vey teams, efficient ambulance
management, efficient triaging
of patients at the hospitals and
bed management, clinical man-
agement of the hospitalised
cases through rotational 24x7
teams to ensure reduction in the
fatality rates, the Ministry said
in the statement.
