‘Aarogya Setu a tool to help curb Corona’
New Delhi: Aarogya
Setu, the government’s
mobile application devel-
oped to track COVID-19
patients, has emerged as
a powerful tool to curb
the spread of coronavi-
rus COVID-19 as it helped
alert authorities about
more than 650 hotspots
across the country and
over 300 “emerging hot-
spots” which could have
been missed otherwise.
Since its launch on
April 2 this year, over 96
million people have regis-
tered with the Aarogya
Setu health care applica-
tion, which has become
the fastest mobile app to
reach 50 million users
globally and will be one
of the fastest entrant to
the 100 million club.
The Aarogya Setu has
helped the government
with its twin objective --
“whom to test” and
“where to test more” in its
battle against COVID-19.
Speaking to ANI, Niti
Ayog CEO Amitabh Kant
said: “For instance, in Ma-
harashtra,theengineiden-
tified over 60 hotspots
across 18 districts. Across
the nation, the engine pre-
dictedabout130hotspotsat
the sub-post office level be-
tween April 13 to April 20.
Later, these forecasted hot-
spotsweredeclaredas‘real
hotspots’ by the Union
Health Ministry some 3 to
17 days after being alerted
by Aarogya Setu. Turn on P6
AMIT SHAH
CLARIFIES ON
RUMOURS
I AM PERFECTLY
HEALTHY, DO NOT
HAVE ANY DISEASE
HOME MINISTER AMIT SHAH SAID FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS THERE HAVE BEEN RUMOURS ABOUT
HIS HEALTH ON SOCIAL MEDIA. “SOME EVEN TWEETED PRAYING FOR MY DEATH,” HE SAID
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: Nixing all
rumours circulating
around his health, Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah on Satur-
day, took to Twitter,
while assuring all that
he is healthy and has
been working as the
country fights corona-
virus crisis.
“I am completely
healthy and am not suf-
fering from any disease,”
Shah tweeted in Hindi. In
his post, the Home Minis-
ter said that he had no-
ticed that over the past
few days some people on
social media had spread
rumours about his
health. So much so, he
said, that some had even
tweeted praying for his
death.
“The country is right
now fighting a global
epidemic like corona
and as the home minis-
ter of the country I
keep busy and did not
pay attention to all of
this. When this came
to my notice, I thought
let all these people en-
joy their imaginary
thoughts and this is
why I did not give any
clarification,” Shah
elaborated.
If anything, Shah has
been maintaining a strict
workoutanddietregimen
and sources reveal that
the BJP stalwart has lost
a few pounds due to a step
he has consciously taken
for a more healthy life-
style. Fruits and vegeta-
bles form the basic of his
diet, giving enough time
to the physical well being
as well through yoga and
other practices.
Over last few days,
rumours had started
doing rounds on social
media that the Union
Home Minister had
not been keeping well,
even as the 55-year-old
leader had been updat-
ing his Twitter handle
with various pictures
showing him attend-
ing meetings wearing
face masks and main-
taining social distance
amid coronavirus pan-
demic. Turn on P8

ment and continuous
effort of Rajasthan
Government that Ra-

a major role in bring-
ing people from Ra-

mitted to develop the
language and get it

Talking to members
of the community from

hlot said that global cri-
sis has come in the past
too but the Corona pan-
demic has shocked the
world. “Rajasthanis liv-
ing in nations across the
world have helped the
state and nation, a lot.
For this all of them are
to be lauded,” Gehlot
said, assuring the peo-
ple that any relative of
theirs living in Ra-
jasthan will be provided
instant help amid Coro-
na crisis if informed at
any level.
Informing about the
steps taken by state
and union govern-
ment to fight Corona,
Gehlot said, “better
work has been done in
India as compared to
other nations. That is
why the situation is
under control in the
country. As compared
to other states, Ra-
jasthan took several
steps within time as a
result the infection
rate here is less and
recovery percent is
more.” Turn on P6

RAJASTHAN GOVT WILL BEAR FULL
RAIL FARE FOR MIGRANT WORKERSKashiram Choudhary
Jaipur: Only two Shra-
mik trains have taken
migrant workers from
Jaipur railway station
to their home state in
the last nine days. Dur-
ing the same period,
three trains have
brought migrant Ra-
jasthani labourers
home from other states.
After several days of
staying in limbo, the
central government
had decided to allow
migrant workers to re-
turn to their home
states. The government
announced special
trains to ferry them
back on May 1.
Since then two trains
department from
Jaipur to Patna and
Katihar in Bihar taking
around 2300 labourers
on May 1 and 5, respec-
tively. On the other
hand, three trains
brought around 3700
migrant Rajasthani
workers from Maha-
rashtra and Karnataka.
Two trains arrived
from Maharashtra on
the 5th and one from
Karnataka on the 6th.
According to sourc-
es, a dispute over who
should bear the train
fare was the reason for
not many trains operat-
ing. The central gov-
ernment denied allega-
tions that it was charg-
ing an excess fare and
claimed that it was giv-
ing 85% concession on
the total fare.
The stats, on the oth-
er hand, charged it of
collecting full fare from
them. It also came to
light that the railway
was selling tickets
through district admin-
istration instead of
selling directly and
complete money was
being charged from la-
bourers.
Meanwhile, the Ge-
hlot government an-
nounced that it would
bear total fare and
would not charge a sin-
gle penny from the
workers. The state gov-
ernment has been pay-
ing the fare for workers
now. However, sources
said that because of the
dispute over fare, there
was little chance of
more trains operating
in the near future.

Jaipur: The state gov-
ernment is likely to in-
crease parole time for
prisoners. This period
could be from four to six
months. The state gov-
ernment has so far re-
leased 200 inmates on
parole as per the Su-
preme Court order.
The state govt had re-
leased 148 prisoners for
four weeks on special
parole. Among them, 56
were released on per-
manent parole.
They were released
immediately after the
lockdown and parole
tenure of most is com-
ing to end, which would
pose a risk of contagion
in the jails. Therefore,
state govt is contem-
plating changes in pa-
role rules to increase
the parole period of
those released earlier.

Jaipur: As COVID-19
has crippled the world’s
movement, lakhs of mi-
grant labourers have
found themselves stuck
in several parts of the
country. With no one fo-
cusing on them in the
beginning, thousands
of them walked miles to
reach their village
which also resulted in
law & order situation
across India.
From plying buses in
the early stages to initi-
ating the demand of
trains across the coun-
try, the Ashok Gehlot led
govt has left no stone un-
turned to ease the trans-
portation process of la-
bourers. As soon as the
nod of railway transpor-
tation was received,
state govt began evacuat-
ing labourers as well as
students stuck in Kota.
The panel under the
leadership of Addl CS
Subodh Agrawal, is
keeping a tab on the
movements and is con-
stantly in touch with
other states to ensure
the ease of travel for
stranded labourers.
“We are in touch with
states for the to & fro of
our labourers. This is
the time we make sure
that every citizen is fed,
and reaches home with-
out any trouble. We are
monitoring the move-
ments and every day,
several rescue trains
deployed are transfer-
ring labourers. CM Ge-
hlot is keeping a check
personally and has
strictly directed that no
one should sleep hun-
gry,” he said.
Till now, nearly 96,000
migrant labourers have
been transported to sev-
eral home states and

and lakhs of workers
have started for state
borders on either foot or

data 1 lakh workers
wanttocomebacktoRa-
jasthan while 8 lakh
wanttogotootherstates
from Rajasthan. He al-
leged that the state govt
had reduced the online
registration. And the
condition to take per-
mission from ACS
(Home) apart from im-
practical conditions like
NOC from state of ori-
gin has led to mass con-
fusion. He demanded
adhoc BPL status for all
incoming workers along
with special ration pro-
visions and Rs 5000.
Meanwhile, BJP na-

BENGAL-CENTRE
IN FACE-OFF
OVER MIGRANTS
political adversary should be giv-
en no breather. Between Union
Home Minister Amit Shah and
West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee who believes in
this more than the other is difficult to say
but New Delhi and Kolkata both throwing
love punches at one another even in these
times of pandemic. Clearly, there’s more to
their bout than the spread of novel corona-
virus. Relations between Bengal and the
Centre have never been cordial but at pre-
sent they are under severe strain.
The latest round has been triggered by a letter
from Amit Shah saying that by not allowing Sh-
ramik specials Mamata Banerjee was doing an
“injustice” to workers wanting to return to the
state. The BJP government in Gujarat has not
yet solved the issue of stranded migrants want-
ing to leave Surat, however, the Centre has said
that more than two lakh workers have been fa-
cilitated to reach their homes. “But we are not
getting expected support from West Bengal. The
state government of West Bengal is not allowing
trains reaching to West Bengal. This is injustice
with West Bengal migrant labourers. This will
create further hardships for them,” Shah said
in the letter.
West Bengal hit back by accusing the
Home Minister of untruths and holding the
Centre directly responsible for the tragedy
in which 16 migrant labourers were run
over by a goods train. Trinamool Congress
MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar was quoted as
asking, “The Centre is lying. Eight trains
are ready to ferry passengers from Bengal
from different states. It is not right to say
CM Mamata Banerjee is not allowing mi-
grants to come back. Sixteen migrants died
on your watch, will rail minister take re-
sponsibility.”
A stronger riposte to Shah’s letter came from
Mamata’s nephew and senior party leader Ab-
hishek Banerjee who tweeted, “A HM failing to
discharge his duties during this crisis speaks
after weeks of silence, only to mislead people
with bundle of lies! Ironically he’s talking of the
very ppl who’ve been literally left to fate by his
own Govt. Mr @AmitShah prove your fake al-
legations or apologise.”
The Centre can still claim to be driven by
the desire to protect the minorities from
hardships, though the migrants homecom-
ing issue has been such that it has backfired
on the BJP after Sonia firing her salvo of
Congress bearing the expense of the mi-
grants travel. One, however, cannot deny
the fact that there is also a strong political
angle to the face-off because Shah is not
alone in attacking Mamata government.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Congress Party’s
Leader in the LS, also accused the TMC gov-
ernment of not being keen on bringing back
its labourers stranded in other states.
A row was earlier triggered over the sending
of inter-ministerial teams to some West Bengal
districts allegedly without the state being taken
into confidence. On both the occasions Mama-
ta’s retreat averted a political crisis.
IN-DEPTH
A
ince the SARS-
CoV-2 virus
spread from
China to most
of the world in
February and March, we
have all gradually become
participants in textbook
ethical dilemmas. Above
all, the COVID-19 pandem-
ic has presented overload-
ed health systems with the
huge question of how to
continue caring for pa-
tients in a secure, fair, and
effective way. And, worry-
ingly, the crisis has high-
lighted not only the unpre-
paredness of politicians
and health-care systems,
but also our failure to de-
velop relevant ethical
norms.
As the pandemic spread,
many governments hastily
implemented medical and
social-distancing protocols
that mirrored the Chinese
authorities’ draconian re-
sponse. Until early this
year, richer countries had
been discussing access to
new health-care tools such
as robotics and artificial
intelligence, or how the
state might finance artifi-
cial reproductive technolo-
gies. But in the blink of an
eye, their health systems
surprisingly and unhesi-
tatingly accepted utilitari-
an ethics – not only by per-
forming drastic triage in
intensive-careunits(ICUs),
but also by refusing to offer
a range of other much-
needed medical services.
Ethics textbooks contain
numerous philosophical
dilemmas that call into
question the morality of
always applying a utilitar-
ian calculus to human
lives. One of the most wide-
ly known was devised by
the British philosopher
Philippa Foot, and involves
a runaway trolley rushing
toward five people tied to a
train track. By pulling a
switch, you can divert the
trolley to another track
and save those five lives,
but the trolley will then
kill one person on that
track. What should you do?
Based solely on the
mathematical outcome of
the choice, many will like-
ly consider it right to inter-
vene and sacrifice one hu-
man life in order to save
five others. But in both this
dilemma and in real life,
should we not take other
values into account, too?
After all, the COVID-19
pandemic is presenting
health workers with tragic
situations they have never
experienced before. And if
there are not enough health
workers, ventilators, or
hospital beds, then patients
often will need to be catego-
rized and prioritized to de-
termine who receives (or
does not receive) which
care, and where.
In mid-March, the Ital-
ian Society of Anesthesia,
Analgesia, Resuscitation,
andIntensiveCare(SIAAR-
TI) issued recommenda-
tions for allocating inten-
sive-care treatment of
COVID-19 patients. These
include adhering to the
“first come, first served”
principle in the worst-case
scenario that no more ICU
resources are available.
And in April, the Hungar-
ian Medical Chamber re-
leased a series of mostly
utilitarian triage guide-
lines that focus on saving
more lives and giving pri-
ority to patients with a
higher chance of survival.
Our existing ethical
frameworks were not de-
vised for a pandemic – and
it shows. Over the last few
decades, bioethics has fo-
cused on new technologies,
such as genetic interven-
tion, biobanks, gene-edit-
ing, and artificial reproduc-
tion. Indeed, Europe’s most
comprehensive and legally
binding set of bioethical
norms, the 1997 Oviedo
Convention,prescribesthat
“The interests and welfare
of the human being shall
prevail over the sole inter-
est of society or science.”

spread of the virus.
resident Franklin D.
Roosevelt, in his inaugural
address in 1933, said the
only thing to fear was fear
itself. The coronavirus has
health, economic, social, ad-
ministrative, etc. aspects.
There is also the fear aspect.
That is not confined to the
present only. Fear is very
much in the minds of peo-
ple, including doctors, fear
of the pandemic making a
re-appearance after six
months or more. Neither
World War 1 or World War II
had the reach, the coronavi-
rus has.
These wars deadly and hor-
rific did not involve South
America and large parts of Af-
rica. The coronavirus respects
no national boundaries is in-
visible and so unbearable so
far. No fear is worse than the
fear of the unknown, the fear
of nature’s forces which man
can neither channel nor com-
prehend. Overnight it has be-
come intensified and magni-
fied. It is filling our minds with
primordial apprehensions.
Humankind is groping in
the dark in fear. Parents fear
for their children, immi-
grants for the livelihood, the
fear of galloping unemploy-
ment is all too visible in
America, Europe, and other
parts of the globe. Where a
man can find no answer, he
will find fear.
I am 91 years of age, so I do
not fear. But I do for my wife,
my son, my grandsons and my
friends. Will fear be the new
normal. Has a new age being
born. Has medicine failed?
The newspapers devote
most of their pages to the
damage the coronavirus is
inflicting on men, women,
and children. TV is a mixed
blessing. It informs, it also
produces fear in our minds.
What will tomorrow bring?
More fear or hope. Hope for
whom? To those who are living
in a controlled panic. Don’t
panic is the mantra of the med-
icos. But doctors and nurses
are dying of the virus. Is hope
the hope. Does any of us have
an answer?
The lockdown will end af-
ter eight days. Gone will be
social distancing. How will
educational institutions ac-
commodate students when
each has to sit six feet from
the other. Where will space
come for those in the same
class? The same applies to
travel. The air industry the
world over has gone bust. If
it revives, then will passen-
gers sit six feet apart. Take
liquor shops. We saw the
bedlam in Delhi the other
day. When these booze shops
re-open, no one will follow
the six feet rule. Hence, we
are living in a coronavirus
pressure cooker. Damned if
you uncover it, damned if
you don’t.
What about political public
meetings. I have no answer, ex-
cept posing questions. Like eve-
ryone else I eagerly and impa-
tiently await the invention of
the magic vaccine, which will
be available by early next year.
One hundred laboratories are
working night and day to pro-
duce one. I am not a religious
person, but I do believe in Auto
de fe: Belief in fate. Neither
pessimism nor optimism is the
need of the hour. Both are mat-
ters of temperament.
Satish Gujral’s death last
month did not attract the no-
tice it should have. I knew
him for almost forty-five
years. He was among the
great painters of the 20th
century. He was also a gifted
architect. The Belgian Em-
bassy in Chankyapuri is his
creation. He was stone deaf
for the better part of his life.
Then a miraculous opera-
tion restored his hearing. He
was great fun to be with. The
art world has lost a genius.
His wife Kiran is a most re-
markable lady.
I never met Irfan Khan or Ri-
shi Kapoor. The latter’s father
I met several times. He was not
only a superb actor, but he was
also an artist, creative, origi-
nal, who stirred both heart and
mind.
Irfan Khan and Rishi Ka-
poor were both beloved of
cinema audiences. If I re-
member correctly I saw him
in Slumdog Millionaire. He
stole the shows. To my re-
gret, I did not see any of Ri-
shi Kapoor’s films. Both he
and Irfan were men of cour-
age and died like heroes.
In the 1960s Dev Anand pro-
duced and acted in Prem Pu-
jari. I was then working in the
Indira Gandhi office. Dev
Anand came to see me. I had
met him earlier in New York.
He said he wanted the P.M to
see the film. I took him to P.M.

COVID-19 UPDATE INDIA’S FATALITY RATE CONTINUED TO BE AROUND 3.3%, UNION HEALTH MINISTER DR HARSH VARDHAN SAID
New Delhi: Amid the
coronavirus outbreak
in the country, the Un-
ion Health Minister Dr
Harsh Vardhan said In-
dia does not anticipate
a very worst type of
situations like the de-
veloped nations. How-
ever, he assured that
the Central govern-
ment is prepared for
the worst scenario.
The coronavirus cas-
es in India inched to-
wards 60,000- mark to-
day. The states added
over 3,000 fresh corona-
virus cases for the third
straight day. As India
witnessed a huge spike
in COVID-19 count this
week, the doubling rate
worsens. On Tuesday,
the health ministry re-
ported a doubling rate
of 12 days. The doubling
rate of the novel coro-
navirus infections in
India has reduced to 9.9
days in last one week,
health minister said.
India’s fatality rate
continued to be around
3.3%, he added. As
many as 1,981 people
died due to coronavi-
rus infection in India
since outbreak. West
Bengal recorded the
worst fatality rate in
the country. Out of
1,678 coronavirus pa-
tients, 160 succumbed
to death in the state.
On a brighter side, In-
dia improved its recov-
ery rate. Around 29.9%
of total cases, 17,847 peo-

TS POLICE TO ROLL OUT AI-BASED
SYSTEM TO TRACK VIOLATERS
Hyderabad: After the govt
of Telangana decided to
slap a fine of Rs 1,000
for not wearing masks at
public places, the police
of Hyderabad City, Cyber-
abad, are all set to track
the violators with the help
of artificial intelligence
(AI). “The enforcement
of the norm through
AI-driven system will
initially be implemented in
Hyderabad City, Cyber-
abad, and Rachakonda
area within the next two
to three days. It will later
be extended to entire Tel-
angana,” Anil Kumar, ACP
said. He said that lever-

BENEFITS OF
LOCKDOWN
midst all sorts of
speculations go-
ing around that
India’s economy
is on a downslide
because of the COVID-19
lockdown amounting to huge
economic losses, is there any
way through which it can be
said that the lockdown has
also resulted in some bene-
fits? The answer is yes, and
‘Shadow Benefits’ are one
among them. Economists
have this strange but yet very
powerful way of looking at
things from the lens of oppor-
tunity cost and Shadow ben-
efits. Opportunity cost is
based on the concept of ben-
efits foregone while looking
at the cost of undertaking an
activity. For example, while
the benefits of lockdown lie
in the number of COVID-19
cases being averted which
could have been there other-
wise, and consequently re-
sulting into the proportionate
cost on health care, including
extremity from the number
of deaths, the cost of lock-
down is estimated in terms of
economic activities lost and
hardships caused to the poor.
The Shadow benefits arise
from those activities which
are not directly transacted in
the market and hence their
valuation is not easy to ascer-
tain. However, Shadow bene-
fits are generally of tremen-
dous value and they form the
core of what we do and expect
to achieve. For example, in
the absence of our perception
of large ecological benefits
(which are not so easily meas-
urable), very few trees will be
planted. Most often such
goods generate ‘shared value’
and tend to define the quality
of living in present and how
we are likely to live in the fu-
ture. The failure of GDP
(gross domestic product) to
capture all such Shadow ben-
efits makes it an insufficient
and inappropriate measure
of growth, rather measures
that did not include Shadow
benefits tended to create more
problems for humanity. A lot
has been written about GDP
as an insufficient measure of
growth, so much so that a
country like Bhutan has re-
placed GDP with a more holis-
tic measure of growth called
Gross National Happiness
(GNH). Indeed, happiness is
one such ‘Shadow Benefit’
which growth must produce.
Obviously, amidst this lock-
down, the Indian economy
has come to a halt. The indus-
tries have stopped produc-
tion, the movement of goods
and services has hampered
which eventually has put a
detrimental impact on India’s
economic growth. While the
whole world is talking about
the negative side of lock-
down, there is also a positive
side to it. These non-quantifi-
able positive benefits have
been classified as ‘Shadow
Benefits of Lockdown’, as ex-
plained below:
INDIA’S ECONOMY IS ON A DOWNSLIDE BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWN AMOUNTING TO HUGE ECONOMIC LOSSES, IS
THERE ANY WAY THROUGH WHICH IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE LOCKDOWN HAS ALSO RESULTED IN SOME BENEFITS?

During normal times, all
the industrial hubs op-
erating in India were con-
tributing to a hazardous
air-pollution level which
was impacting every
citizen’s health. Added to
this, was the high move-
ment of vehicles that peo-
ple would use daily to go
to their workplaces. Now,
because of this lockdown,
the pollution levels have
come down drastically
as production in local in-
dustries has gone down.
Further, almost the whole
of the service industry
in India is working from
home which means no
movement of vehicles
on the streets. This has
also lead to reducing the
pollution levels across
all major cities of India.
As per certain reports,
the Real-Time Air Quality
Index is now classified as
‘good’ in many metro-
politan cities of India,
meaning that air quality
is satisfactory and poses
little or no risk. Reduced
pollution and better air
quality augur well for the
physical as well as mental
health and well-being of
India’s population.
During this lockdown
period, another posi-
tive impact is the reduc-
tion in corruption and
crime in India. Because
of restricted movement,
there is hardly any
scope that exists for any
sort of corruption and
crime.
BENEFITS
Better air quality has con-
siderable economic im-
pacts in terms of reduced
medical costs, increasing
workers’ productivity, and
fewer chances of damage
to soil, crops, forests,
lakes, and rivers. Overall,
the ecological balance
improves, and most
importantly the reduced
carbon emissions help to
tackle the bigger issue of
climate change. One of
the recent studies showed
that the earth’s ozone
layer is healing because
of the overall fall in the
global pollution levels. As
per OECD’s estimation of
outdoor pollution cost, it
may range up to 1% of
global GDP. It looks like
that a 10% reduction in
concentrations of par-
ticulate matter (PM 2.5)
and ground-level ozone
will result in tremendous
welfare gain, which
otherwise could have cost
several millions of dollars
to achieve.
BENEFITS
Fall in corruption and
crime is yet another very
strong Shadow benefit of
lockdown. Studies have
confirmed that the causal-
ity between corruption,
crime, and GDP is highly
negative. Tentatively
speaking, the gain in
GDP due to steep fall
in corruption and crime
could be in several million
dollars. The cost saved
which may have been
required to reduce cor-
ruption and crime to such
a low level would have
really been very large.
Overall, from a holistic
view, all these factors
point to the fact that yes
there is a positive side
too to this lockdown and
all the above discussed
Shadow benefits need to
be considered while the
economic trajectory of
the Indian economy is
being forecasted. Obvi-
ously, being optimistic
and taking into account
the economic value of the
above mentioned Shadow
benefits of this lockdown,
the concerns about a pos-
sible recession should be
discarded. Once the lock-
down period ends, there is
absolutely surety that each
and every citizen of India
shall resume services with
full zeal and compassion,
which shall ultimately lead
to the rebound of the In-
dian economy and result-
ing economic growth. Any
shortfall in GDP percent
growth due to lockdown
will have to be looked
at from GDP + Shadow
Benefits which has the
potentiality of making our
nation much more livable
and lovable.
BENEFITS
Because of social
distancing, people are
spending more time at
home with their respec-
tive families. This is
leading to more affinity
among families, hence
moving towards stronger
‘emotional bonding’, and
the creation of stronger
‘social capital’. The emo-
tional affinity helps to
improve the mental well-
being of citizens and they
tend to be happier. Social
capital as reflected in a
combination of cognitive
and structural factors
such as interpersonal
trust of citizens, good
governance, etc, tends to
affect GDP positively and
reduce inequality.
The feeling of national
solidarity and brother-
hood has been revamped
and this augurs well for
the future of our nation.
Once the lockdown
will be over and the
situation will be back to
normal, then every one
of us would go back
fully charged into our
jobs and add value to
the maximum of our
abilities. The economic
productivity of India is
surely going to get a
major boost at that time.
BENEFITS
Explaining the effect of video
calling on participants, some
researchers found out that
people tend to experience
higher happiness levels after
they see each other. These
studies have been found
quoting that “As soon as it
goes down to just voice, peo-
ple aren’t unhappy, but they
talk for slightly less time, they
laugh less, they are slightly
less happy afterward”. This
shows that happiness levels
increase immensely when
people are working from
home through video calling.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT LESS CORRUPTION AND CRIMEDuring these times of
lockdown, ‘Social
distancing’ is being
promoted in order to
stop the chain of virus
spread. Social dis-
tancing, or physical
distancing, is a set of
non-pharmaceutical
interventions or meas-
ures taken to prevent
the spread of this
contagious disease by
maintaining a physi-
cal distance between
people and reducing the
number of times people
come into close contact
with each other. By
reducing the probability
that a given uninfected
person will come into
physical contact with
an infected person, the
disease transmission
can be suppressed, re-
sulting in fewer deaths.
For this coronavirus
pandemic, the World
Health Organization
(WHO) suggested the
reference to “physi-
cal” as an alternative to
“social”, in keeping with
the notion that it is a
physical distance which
prevents transmission;
people can remain
socially connected via
technology.
Due to the lockdown,
almost everyone
in the service industry
is working from home
(WFH). During WFH,
video calling becomes
one important element
that can’t be ignored.
Each and every one of
us has to communicate
with peers and that is
where video calling and
face to face interaction
through various ap-
plications come into the
picture.

A
CABINET
EXPANSION
BEFORE MONSOON
Rumors are rife by
sources close to
PMOthatbeforethenext
monsoon session of the
Parliament, PM Modi
could provide a few new
faces to his cabinet. A
major change in bureau-
cracy in the last week of
April is point in this di-
rection. If sources are to

ously pressurising Cen-
tre to include JDU in

tionsarescheduledtooc-
cur at the end of the cur-
rent year and Nitish is
thus hoping to get his
men in the central gov-
ernment. On the other
hand, the recent bureau-
cratic shuffle has also
givenanindicationtothe
ministers that were fly-
ing high. PM Modi has
further increased the
height of the political
sky. For example, more
than Health Minister Dr
Harshvardhan its minis-
try spokesperson Luv
Agarwal and Secretary
PritiSudanwhoareseen
as compared to the min-
ister. Sudan has been
given a three month ex-
tension as well so that
when the new Secretary
takes over, they are pro-
vided a clean slate and
any ‘wrong doing’ re-
garding Corona can be
attributed to former offi-
cial. It is being said that
RajeshBhushan,serving
as OSD in Health and
FamilyWelfareMinistry,
could take Sudan’s spot.
The transfer of Arvind
Kumar Sharma, from
PMO to Secretary
MSME, is touted to be a
move to balance Gadka-
ri’s popularity. Similarly
another IAS - Giridhar
Aramane - for whom it is
said that he does only
what he feels right and
doesnotlistentoanyone,
has been posted in an-
other ministry handled
by Gadkari. Those who
are hoping to become a

gaged in ‘Shirshasana’

on riding the waves
of news. He is the only
ministerof Modigovern-
ment who stays in the
news on his own will,
mends the news and
when needed also gives
‘sustenance’ to ‘new
seeds’. During the past
few days, social media
went viral with news re-
lated to Amit Shah’s
health, however putting
an end to all these ru-
mours, Shah was seen
chairing an important
meetingondisasterman-
agement related to Vizag
Gas leak. If sources are
to be believed, Shah has
full knowledge of his po-
litical weight, so these
days he has been in-
volved in bringing his
body weight down.
Sources reveal that he is
exercising for three
hours in this time of
lockdown and has only
fruits and vegetables to
eat. Hence he has lost
weight too. Along with
keeping an eye on Coro-
na, he has focused his
gaze on Rajasthan and
Maharashtratoo.Rumor
mills are rife about
SachinPilotinRajasthan
and Shah has already
played a hand with Raj
Thackeray who is busy
devising a plan to bifur-
cate Shiv Sena. It is be-
lievedthatVivekTankha
from Madhya Pradesh is
also in contact with him
as is Milind Deora from
Maharashtra. Since due
to lockdown, Shah has
notbeenabletogettohis
home in Ahmedabad for
a long time, so he wel-
comed a new member to
his family in the form of
recently born grand-
daughter through video
calling. Interestingly on
Saturday, four muslim
men were arrested by
Ahmedabad police for
spreading a photo-
shopped tweet of Shah
claiming that he was suf-
fering from bone cancer.
Shah took to Twitter to
removeanydoubtsabout
his health and said that
he was hale and hearty.

Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot has said
that workers trapped
due to lockdown should
not leave for their place
of residence on foot. Ge-
hlot stressed that the
state government is
making proper ar-
rangements to take
them to their respec-
tive places through
buses and trains. He
instructedtheofficersto
make arrangements of
camps and food for the
workerswhohavelefton
foot for their respective
homes. “In this hour of
crisis, protecting eve-
ry person’s life and
sharing their sorrows,
is our top priority,”
Gehlot said, during a
high level meeting to re-
view the movement of
migrants at CMR.
“Those migrants and
workers who have got
themselves registered
fortravel,shouldnotface
any troubles for issuing
e-pass to them and for
this it is needed that the
e-pas system is upgrad-
ed. Those migrants that
have been issued a pass,
they should be informed
about departure of train
so that they can reach
station according to
schedule,” Gehlot said.
CM also stated that
in case of medical
emergency, death or
other important work,
the process should be
simplified and passes
should be issued with-
out any delay. “If it be-
comes extremely impor-
tant process of offline
pass should also be initi-
ated in addition to on-
line pass. These offline
passes could be issued
by concerned police sta-
tion and SDM office and
itshouldalsobeensured
that people do not have
to travel to SDM office
of local police station
but get these passes on
phone,” he said
Gehlot asked offi-
cials to coordinate
with officials of Indi-
an Railways to in-
crease the number of
trains from Rajasthan
and into the state as
well. “it is important
that migrants and work-
ers reach their homes
but there should be no
lacunae in their screen-
ing and quarantine fa-
cilities. Home or institu-
tional quarantine of
every person who comes
from outside should be
ensured,” Gehlot said.
From P1
Meanwhile, con-
demning rumours
about the ill-health
of Shah, several BJP
workers, including
party president JP
Nadda, on Saturday,
took to Twitter to ex-
press their displeas-
ure over people who
spread such rumours
about Shah. Mean-
while, they also sup-
ported their Twitter
posts with ‘#HumareP-
yareAmitBhai’ to ex-
press their love for the
Home Minister.
Shah while taking
to Twitter said,
“Lakhs of workers
from my party and
my well-wishers have
expressed their deep
concerns regarding
my health over the
last two days. I can-
not ignore their con-
cern for me. This is
why I want to clarify
today that I am per-
fectly healthy and I
do not have any dis-
ease.”
Shah even said ac-
cording to the Hindu
belief, rumours about
one’s health could
strengthen the person
further. “So, I would re-
quest every such per-
son to give up this
meaningless talks and
let me do my job and
they may go ahead do-
ing theirs,” Shah
wrote.
Thanking his well-
wishers and BJP
workers for enquir-
ing about his health,
he said that he has
“no hatred towards
those who spread the
rumours”.
He also urged people
to not spread or believe
in such rumours.

ON HEALTH RUMOURS

Kartikey Dev Singh
Jaipur: There was time
in Rajasthan, not too
long ago, when feudal
lords warred against
each other on every lit-
tle issue. The history
of the desert state is
replete with instanc-
es of battles being
carried out by almost
anyone who has had a
fair share in the ‘pow-
er-pie’. and all this to
assert their own su-
premacy. While things
ebbed a little during the
Raj, but the tussles for
power continued and
have remained so even
after seven decades of
Independence.
The recent ‘battle’ is
between two IAS ACS
Rajeshwar Singh and
Principal Secretary
Arushi Malik, which
has been ongoing for
past sometime but now
it has crossed the ‘lax-
man-rekha’ and en-
tered into the media
foray. Word is that the
fight between senior
and junior is on every-
one tongues and even
CM Ashok Gehlot,
Deputy CM Sachin Pi-
lot and Chief Secre-
tary DB Gupta know
about it. But hat actu-
ally ‘ignited’ this ‘fire’?
Well, anyone who knows
bureaucracy, knows
what is seeks most : Re-
spect. And in this case
Rajeshwar found him-
self on the opposite end!
Sources reveal that
when the work for Ran-
chayat reorganization
was being carried out, a
meeting had ben called
and minister Harish
Choudharyhadreached
Amit Dhaka’s cabin fol-
lowed by Rajeshwar
Singh and Arushi Ma-
lik. During the discus-
sion, Choudhary took
Dhaka to a separate va-
cant room and after
sometime, Aarushi was
also called in, thus leav-
ing Rajeshwar - a senior
bureaucrat- alone in
Dhaka’s room. It is said
thatthisincidentmiffed
Rajeshwar and caused
this ongoing ‘battle’.
But even Arushi has
not gone an extra mile to
quell the ‘feud’ rather
added ‘ghee’ to fire. Ma-
lik, who has good politi-
cal contacts, hailing
from a political family, is
known for her alleged
harsh attitude and way-
wardhandlingof issues.
Comingtoofficelateand
leaving early is one of
the favourite acts the
Principal Secretary
pullsoutatregularinter-
vals.Interestingly,sourc-
es reveal that few days
backtheCMhadcalleda
meeting and ACS asked
Arushitocompileallthe
details related to Pan-
chayats, however mere
formality was carried
out in this and on this
the duo fought a ‘verbal-
battle’ before half a doz-
en officials which deep-
ened the divide. Then
there is the issue of pro-
motion of engineers for
which a three member
committee was formed.
The file was approved by
DOP, Finance depart-
ment and Chief Secre-
tarygaveordersforDPC.
Pilot had already given
his permission for it. A
joint secretary in the de-
partment - Prem Singh
Charan - sent the file to
finance department
through Arushi without
ACS’s approval and the
finance department ob-
served objection over
this. When the file fell in
Rajeshwar’s lap, he was
taken aback. He then
shot a letter to CS re-
questing him to transfer
Arushi to other depart-
ment, and this was six
months back.
But now it seems a
culmination of the
battle is in the offing.
Principal Secretary
to CM Gehlot, Kul-
deep Ranka has been
informed about the
entire episode and
both the versions to
the ‘story’ has been
presented to him. Al-
though CS has not seen
the file however he has
taken a verbal feedback
over the issue and it is
believed that discipli-
nary action will be tak-
en in the matter/ as a
result either of them
could be made APO or
transferred and CM Ge-
hlot will take the final
call in the matter.

emember the famous
dialogue of Shashi
Kapoor from ‘Dee-
war’ movie? Yes, the
one where he said
“Mere paas maa
hai”, which ultimate-
ly embodies the significant
meaning of a mother’s exist-
ence in one’s life. The portray-
al of mothers has always been
prominent in Bollywood films
and despite an extra pinch of
drama, Bollywood has more
or less been a part of our lives
and has shaped the way we
express our emotions in real-
ity. Mothers are portrayed in
many roles by Bollywood,
from the emotionally con-
cerned and stressed mother to
the housewife who aptly looks
after the children and home
as her main priorities; how-
ever, over the past decade,
Bollywood’s depiction of a
‘mother’ has seen tremendous
change in terms of the por-
trayal of characters, behav-
ioural perception and the ul-
timate notion of what moth-
ers really are. This, of course,
is a welcoming change be-
cause a mom, in films, is no
longer the person standing at
the doorstep with a ‘puja ki
thali’, waiting endlessly for
her child. They have gone
from long-suffering martyrs
to flawed yet sassy women
who know what they want.
While the essence of love
and affection remain the
same, the tears have lessened
andfriendlinesshasincreased
in the characters of Bolly-
wood mothers. This Mother’s
Day, let’s rewind a little bit
from where it started and how
far we’ve come with the differ-
ent shades of mothers!
The crying and majboor
mother: The image of a sob-
bing Nirupa Roy, clad in white
sari, was a trademark for dec-
ades. The impression is so
deep that her look is remem-
bered even today by all gen-
erations.
The Courageous Moth-
er: Nargis Dutt’s character in
Mother India, where she be-
comes an epitome of strength
when her husband leaves the
house and she is left alone to
take care of her children. An-
other was that of Kirron Kher
in Dostana, who although
with a heavy heart, was ready
to accept her son’s boyfriend.
The Friendly Mother: Then
came Reema Lagoo, with all
the bindi and sindoor, as a
mother in Maine Pyar
Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain
Kaun, Hum Saath
Saath Hain. She
played the charac-
ter of mother-
cum-friend to
her children.
The Ulti-
mate Mom:
Gauri Shin-
de’s ‘Eng-
lish Ving-
lish’, where
Shashi’s char-
acter strives to
learn English to ‘fit
in’ in her teenage
daughter’s world. She
triumphs in the end, sub-
tly underlining important
life lessons.
With films like Mom,
Secret Superstar, Ra. one,
Jazbaa, Helicopter Eela, Paa,
and Dostana, the evolution of
mothers in Bollywood
has certainly been an inter-
esting one and now a mother
is no longer blindly wor-
shipped, but loved and
respected.

o you like films
that are so wildly
overstuffed with
characters and
subplots that the
finale requires a
child’s life-threat-
ening asthma attack, a ka-
raoke-related injury and a
recalcitrant vending ma-
chine to bring two charac-
ters together at last? Are
you okay with movies that
feature characters who are
unabashedly racist, so long
as they are wacky racists?
Have you lain awake late at
night wondering what Ju-
lia Roberts might look like
if she happened to be sport-
ing Moe Howard’s hairdo?
If so, then “Mother’s Day”
may just be the movie for
you. If not, you should give
the widest berth possible to
this staggeringly incompe-
tent blend of silliness and
schmaltz—a film so awful
that if one were to put up a
list of the great films cele-
brating motherhood, it
would rank considerably
lower than the Gus van
Santversionof “Psycho.”
The characters in-
clude Sandy (Jennifer
Aniston), whose pic-
ture-perfect divorce is
threatened when her for-
mer husband (Timothy
Olyphant) unexpectedly
marries his much-younger
girlfriend Tina (Shay
Mitchell) and tries
to include her in
the lives of
their two
young sons.
She is
friends with
Jessie (Kate
H u d s o n )
and Gabi
(Sarah Chal-
ke), who
have both moved far away
from their trailer trash
parents (Margo Martin-
dale and Robert Pine) and
are both keeping secrets
from them—Jessie is mar-
ried to an Indian man
named Russell (Aasif Man-
dvi) and has a son with him
(named Tanner, yuk yuk
yuk) and Gabi is married
to a woman (Cameron Es-
posito) and has a son with
her as well. Bradley (Jason
Sudeikis) is the hapless fa-
ther to two daughters who
is still reeling from the
death of his wife nearly a
year earlier. Meanwhile,
Kristin (Britt Robertson) is
a young mother who
doesn’t want to marry her
long-time boyfriend (Jack
Whitehall), not because he
is a bad stand-up comedian
but because she has aban-
donment issues stemming
from having been adopted.
Finally, Miranda (Julia
Roberts) is a host of a home
shopping show who has no
family to speak of because
of her career goals, so
there is obviously no way
that she could be connected
with any of the previously
mentioned characters, so
put that thought out of
your mind right now.
In the past, it has been
suggested that Garry Mar-
shall does not make film
for the supposedly refined
palates of critics—he spe-
cializes in broad entertain-
ment for mass audiences
who are not necessarily in
the mood for subtlety and
introspection. This is not
necessarily true—besides
“Valentine’s Day,” He and
the four screenwriters
(three of them newcomers
and the other the scribe of
the deathless “Monster-in-
Law”) have put their heads
together to concoct a script
that juggles far too many
characters and plot lines.
They neglect to include
any moments of genuine
insight about motherhood,
or much of anything else
for that matter.
Instead, we get the usual
hacky jokes (ranging from
the Sudeikis character be-
ing embarrassed when the
tampons he is buying for
his daughter require a
price check, to a fat guy
nicknamed Tiny) and
equally contrived heart-to-
heart moments so sitcom-y
that you’ll be unconscious-
ly reaching for the remote.
These jokes are occasion-
ally interrupted by bits so
insane that you cannot im-
agine what the writers
were thinking when they
were added to the script.
Why would so many
good actors sign up for a
script this dopey? My
guess is that they look
upon these things as the
equivalent of parties
where they can make an
appearance, have some fun
without doing much in the
way of heavy lifting and
get paid a lot of money in
the process. Trust me, they
would have been better
served if Marshall had
just forgone the film en-
tirely and filmed the cast
party. None of the actors
are able to find a way to
rise above the material,
instead just plowing
through in the broadest
manner possible while try-
ing not to look too obvi-
ously embarrassed.

Since its launch on April 2 this year, over 96 million people have regis- tered with the Aarogya Setu health care applica- tion, which has become the fastest mobile app to reach 50 million users globally and will be one of the fastest entrant to the 100 million club. The Aarogya Setu has helped the government with its twin objective -- “whom to test” and “where to test more” in its battle against COVID-19. Speaking to ANI, Niti Ayog CEO Amitabh Kant said: “For instance, in Ma- harashtra,theengineiden- tified over 60 hotspots across 18 districts. Across the nation, the engine pre- dictedabout130hotspotsat the sub-post office level be- tween April 13 to April 20. Later, these forecasted hot- spotsweredeclaredas‘real hotspots’ by the Union Health Ministry some 3 to 17 days after being alerted by Aarogya Setu. Turn on P6 AMIT SHAH CLARIFIES ON RUMOURS I AM PERFECTLY HEALTHY, DO NOT HAVE ANY DISEASE HOME MINISTER AMIT SHAH SAID FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS THERE HAVE BEEN RUMOURS ABOUT HIS HEALTH ON SOCIAL MEDIA. “SOME EVEN TWEETED PRAYING FOR MY DEATH,” HE SAID Aditi Nagar New Delhi: Nixing all rumours circulating around his health, Un- ion Home Minister Amit Shah on Satur- day, took to Twitter, while assuring all that he is healthy and has been working as the country fights corona- virus crisis. “I am completely healthy and am not suf- fering from any disease,” Shah tweeted in Hindi. In his post, the Home Minis- ter said that he had no- ticed that over the past few days some people on social media had spread rumours about his health. So much so, he said, that some had even tweeted praying for his death. “The country is right now fighting a global epidemic like corona and as the home minis- ter of the country I keep busy and did not pay attention to all of this. When this came to my notice, I thought let all these people en- joy their imaginary thoughts and this is why I did not give any clarification,” Shah elaborated. If anything, Shah has been maintaining a strict workoutanddietregimen and sources reveal that the BJP stalwart has lost a few pounds due to a step he has consciously taken for a more healthy life- style. Fruits and vegeta- bles form the basic of his diet, giving enough time to the physical well being as well through yoga and other practices. Over last few days, rumours had started doing rounds on social media that the Union Home Minister had not been keeping well, even as the 55-year-old leader had been updat- ing his Twitter handle with various pictures showing him attend- ing meetings wearing face masks and main- taining social distance amid coronavirus pan- demic. Turn on P8 4 DETAINED OVER FAKE TWEET ON HM’S HEALTH First India News New Delhi/Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Saturday detained four persons in connection with a fake tweet that claimed Union Home Minister Amit Shah was in ill health. A screenshot of the sup- posed tweet, which was widely shared on social media platforms such as WhatsApp on Friday night, shocked many, especially those close to the minister. Hours later, it was confirmed that the image was fake and that Shah had not, in fact, tweeted about his health on his personal twitter handle. Special Commissioner Ajay Tomar on Saturday said that the cyber cell of the Ahmedabad Crime Branch—which has been keeping a close watch on social media platforms for rumor mongers—dis- covered that someone with the mobile number 9824257461 had cre- ated the fake image and shared it on WhatsApp. The Crime Branch has detained four persons for questioning—two each from Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar.

Stressing that Ra- jasthani language has a major role in bring- ing people from Ra- jasthan together in in foreign land, Gehlot assured that the state government is com- mitted to develop the language and get it recognised. Talking to members of the community from over fifty countries, Ge- hlot said that global cri- sis has come in the past too but the Corona pan- demic has shocked the world. “Rajasthanis liv- ing in nations across the world have helped the state and nation, a lot. For this all of them are to be lauded,” Gehlot said, assuring the peo- ple that any relative of theirs living in Ra- jasthan will be provided instant help amid Coro- na crisis if informed at any level. Informing about the steps taken by state and union govern- ment to fight Corona, Gehlot said, “better work has been done in India as compared to other nations. That is why the situation is under control in the country. As compared to other states, Ra- jasthan took several steps within time as a result the infection rate here is less and recovery percent is more.” Turn on P6  CM holds VC with Rajasthanis from fifty nations across world  Migrants laud state government’s efforts, offer help for jobs, education and village development MITTI KI KHUSHBOO Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during a video conference on Saturday where Health Minister Dr Raghu Sharma, DB Gupta, Kuldeep Ranka, Subodh Agarwal, Rohit K Singh, Amit Dhaka were present.

Dur- ing the same period, three trains have brought migrant Ra- jasthani labourers home from other states. After several days of staying in limbo, the central government had decided to allow migrant workers to re- turn to their home states. The government announced special trains to ferry them back on May 1. Since then two trains department from Jaipur to Patna and Katihar in Bihar taking around 2300 labourers on May 1 and 5, respec- tively. On the other hand, three trains brought around 3700 migrant Rajasthani workers from Maha- rashtra and Karnataka. Two trains arrived from Maharashtra on the 5th and one from Karnataka on the 6th. According to sourc- es, a dispute over who should bear the train fare was the reason for not many trains operat- ing. The central gov- ernment denied allega- tions that it was charg- ing an excess fare and claimed that it was giv- ing 85% concession on the total fare. The stats, on the oth- er hand, charged it of collecting full fare from them. It also came to light that the railway was selling tickets through district admin- istration instead of selling directly and complete money was being charged from la- bourers. Meanwhile, the Ge- hlot government an- nounced that it would bear total fare and would not charge a sin- gle penny from the workers. The state gov- ernment has been pay- ing the fare for workers now. However, sources said that because of the dispute over fare, there was little chance of more trains operating in the near future.

The three new areas are Dadi ka Phatak Vi- kas Nagar C colony un- der Muralipura police station, Riddhi Siddhi Nagar in Nangal Jaisa Bohra under Kardhani police station and Anita Colony under Muhana Mandi police station. Besides, the police have seized 61 vehicles and arrested 35 people for violating curfew. So far, the police have arrested 932 persons and seized 16314 vehi- cles during the lock- down. Full and partial curfew is in force in 35 police station areas in the commissionerate. Blockades have been put up 448 places during the day 118 in the night. First India News Bharatpur: Deeg Po- lice arrested 4 cattle smugglers and confis- cated a large number of bovine from them. SHO Prem Singh Bhaskar working under the in- structions from SP Haider Ali Zaidi set a barricade at Nagla Mehraniya in the wee hours of Saturday with two police teams & QRT and intercepted the smugglers. The smugglers carry- ing bovine for slaughter opened fire on police on the sight. They were ar- rested after a brief en- counter with firing from both sides. Police confis- cated 66 bovine, 6 vehi- cles, and 60 ltrs of hand- made liquor. Some smug- glers escaped taking benefit of scarce light. Police surrounded the whole cavalcade and made the arrests. Police seized 5 Tata 407 & one Eicher canter loading trucks in the action. The belt is infamous for cat- tle smuggling through- out the year but during the month of Ramzan smugglers particularly smuggle bovine into neighboring Haryana where most slaughter- houses are located. Cops solve Gopalpura bypass murder mystery State likely to increase parole time for prisoners Man commits suicide after killing wife, minor son First India News Bikaner: A family of three was found dead in Bilniyasar village in Bi- kaner district on Satur- day. Nurse Suman and her son were lying in a pool of blood while the husband was hanging from the ceiling fan. Addl SP (Rural) Sunil Kumar and Jasrasar SHO Udaybhan reached the village after receiv- ing the info. Primary information suggested that nurse Suman was ANM in the sub-health centre of the village and used to live with her 11-year-old son in the government quar- ter in the center. Her husband Suresh lived in Jhunjhunu. A few days ago he had come to the village. Late night, a fight en- sued between him and his wife. He believed to have killed both wife and son before ending his own life. The police have been investigating the mat- ter to find the reasons behind the incident. First India News Jaipur: Mahesh Nagar police have solved the murder mystery of the person found dead on the Gopalpura bypass on May 6. Deceased Bal- ram Meena hailed from Kota and was a desti- tute living under Trive- ni over the bridge. He was mistakenly hit by arrested accused duo Kamal and Jeetu alias Lala. Both the ac- cused live under the Triveni bridge and had a dispute over the dis- tribution of money ac- crued out the sale of a cannabis plant. Balram was hit by Kamal and Jeetu while they were trying to hit Prem whom they ac- cused of being unfair in money distribution re- ceived from the canna- bis plant sale. First India News Jaipur: The state gov- ernment is likely to in- crease parole time for prisoners. This period could be from four to six months. The state gov- ernment has so far re- leased 200 inmates on parole as per the Su- preme Court order. The state govt had re- leased 148 prisoners for four weeks on special parole. Among them, 56 were released on per- manent parole. They were released immediately after the lockdown and parole tenure of most is com- ing to end, which would pose a risk of contagion in the jails. Therefore, state govt is contem- plating changes in pa- role rules to increase the parole period of those released earlier. —Pic for representational purpose only —Pic for representational purpose only First India News Jaipur: As COVID-19 has crippled the world’s movement, lakhs of mi- grant labourers have found themselves stuck in several parts of the country. With no one fo- cusing on them in the beginning, thousands of them walked miles to reach their village which also resulted in law & order situation across India. From plying buses in the early stages to initi- ating the demand of trains across the coun- try, the Ashok Gehlot led govt has left no stone un- turned to ease the trans- portation process of la- bourers. As soon as the nod of railway transpor- tation was received, state govt began evacuat- ing labourers as well as students stuck in Kota. The panel under the leadership of Addl CS Subodh Agrawal, is keeping a tab on the movements and is con- stantly in touch with other states to ensure the ease of travel for stranded labourers. “We are in touch with states for the to & fro of our labourers. This is the time we make sure that every citizen is fed, and reaches home with- out any trouble. We are monitoring the move- ments and every day, several rescue trains deployed are transfer- ring labourers. CM Ge- hlot is keeping a check personally and has strictly directed that no one should sleep hun- gry,” he said. Till now, nearly 96,000 migrant labourers have been transported to sev- eral home states and daily trains are de- ployed for travel. The transportation of la- bourers is being taken care by state govern- ment along with the fa- cilities of meals, masks, sanitizers. Raj Govt’s efforts help lakhs of labourers reach Home Migrant labourers maintaining social distance while waiting for their turn. THE STATE-WISE TRANSFER OF LABOURERS IS AS FOLLOWS

Abhishek Srivastava Jaipur: Jaipur Develop- ment Authority (JDA) has resumed working on the projects which were stalled due to lock- down. However, it has released a standard op- erating procedure (SOP) so that work can con- tinue without threat of contagion to workers. JDA halted work on March 22. Now that the modified lockdown has provided opportunity to start work, it has start- ed work on Jhotwara elevated road, Sitapura Dantli and Jahota over- bridges. Soon, work on Sodala elevated road will also begin. However, they re- leased a SOP for protec- tion of workers which states that only those workers who were working prior to lock- downwouldbeengaged. Workers from outside should be employed as per state government directives. If a driver or opera- tor from outside is re- quired than permission must be taken from ex- ecutive engineer. Also, there should be sepa- rate accommodation for these workers. All work- ers must download Aar- ogya Setu app and fill self-declaration form. Thermal scanning of every person coming to work would be manda- tory. Record of those coming to the worksite must be kept. Work plan should be prepared in a way that minimum workers are required on a worksite. They should follow social dis- tancing. Mobile, clothes and wallet must not be shared. The staff will have to provide residentail in- formation and declare or whether they came in contact with any in- fected or visited a hot- spot. They will be given training about identify- ing corona symptoms, preventive measures and dos and don’ts dur- ing the pandemic. Before and after the work, all equipments would be sanitized.

Editor: Jagdeesh Chandra, responsible for selection of news under the PRB Act BENGAL-CENTRE IN FACE-OFF OVER MIGRANTS political adversary should be giv- en no breather. Between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who believes in this more than the other is difficult to say but New Delhi and Kolkata both throwing love punches at one another even in these times of pandemic. Clearly, there’s more to their bout than the spread of novel corona- virus. Relations between Bengal and the Centre have never been cordial but at pre- sent they are under severe strain. The latest round has been triggered by a letter from Amit Shah saying that by not allowing Sh- ramik specials Mamata Banerjee was doing an “injustice” to workers wanting to return to the state. The BJP government in Gujarat has not yet solved the issue of stranded migrants want- ing to leave Surat, however, the Centre has said that more than two lakh workers have been fa- cilitated to reach their homes. “But we are not getting expected support from West Bengal. The state government of West Bengal is not allowing trains reaching to West Bengal. This is injustice with West Bengal migrant labourers. This will create further hardships for them,” Shah said in the letter. West Bengal hit back by accusing the Home Minister of untruths and holding the Centre directly responsible for the tragedy in which 16 migrant labourers were run over by a goods train. Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar was quoted as asking, “The Centre is lying. Eight trains are ready to ferry passengers from Bengal from different states. It is not right to say CM Mamata Banerjee is not allowing mi- grants to come back. Sixteen migrants died on your watch, will rail minister take re- sponsibility.” A stronger riposte to Shah’s letter came from Mamata’s nephew and senior party leader Ab- hishek Banerjee who tweeted, “A HM failing to discharge his duties during this crisis speaks after weeks of silence, only to mislead people with bundle of lies! Ironically he’s talking of the very ppl who’ve been literally left to fate by his own Govt. Mr @AmitShah prove your fake al- legations or apologise.” The Centre can still claim to be driven by the desire to protect the minorities from hardships, though the migrants homecom- ing issue has been such that it has backfired on the BJP after Sonia firing her salvo of Congress bearing the expense of the mi- grants travel. One, however, cannot deny the fact that there is also a strong political angle to the face-off because Shah is not alone in attacking Mamata government. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Congress Party’s Leader in the LS, also accused the TMC gov- ernment of not being keen on bringing back its labourers stranded in other states. A row was earlier triggered over the sending of inter-ministerial teams to some West Bengal districts allegedly without the state being taken into confidence. On both the occasions Mama- ta’s retreat averted a political crisis. IN-DEPTH A ince the SARS- CoV-2 virus spread from China to most of the world in February and March, we have all gradually become participants in textbook ethical dilemmas. Above all, the COVID-19 pandem- ic has presented overload- ed health systems with the huge question of how to continue caring for pa- tients in a secure, fair, and effective way. And, worry- ingly, the crisis has high- lighted not only the unpre- paredness of politicians and health-care systems, but also our failure to de- velop relevant ethical norms. As the pandemic spread, many governments hastily implemented medical and social-distancing protocols that mirrored the Chinese authorities’ draconian re- sponse. Until early this year, richer countries had been discussing access to new health-care tools such as robotics and artificial intelligence, or how the state might finance artifi- cial reproductive technolo- gies. But in the blink of an eye, their health systems surprisingly and unhesi- tatingly accepted utilitari- an ethics – not only by per- forming drastic triage in intensive-careunits(ICUs), but also by refusing to offer a range of other much- needed medical services. Ethics textbooks contain numerous philosophical dilemmas that call into question the morality of always applying a utilitar- ian calculus to human lives. One of the most wide- ly known was devised by the British philosopher Philippa Foot, and involves a runaway trolley rushing toward five people tied to a train track. By pulling a switch, you can divert the trolley to another track and save those five lives, but the trolley will then kill one person on that track. What should you do? Based solely on the mathematical outcome of the choice, many will like- ly consider it right to inter- vene and sacrifice one hu- man life in order to save five others. But in both this dilemma and in real life, should we not take other values into account, too? After all, the COVID-19 pandemic is presenting health workers with tragic situations they have never experienced before. And if there are not enough health workers, ventilators, or hospital beds, then patients often will need to be catego- rized and prioritized to de- termine who receives (or does not receive) which care, and where. In mid-March, the Ital- ian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation, andIntensiveCare(SIAAR- TI) issued recommenda- tions for allocating inten- sive-care treatment of COVID-19 patients. These include adhering to the “first come, first served” principle in the worst-case scenario that no more ICU resources are available. And in April, the Hungar- ian Medical Chamber re- leased a series of mostly utilitarian triage guide- lines that focus on saving more lives and giving pri- ority to patients with a higher chance of survival. Our existing ethical frameworks were not de- vised for a pandemic – and it shows. Over the last few decades, bioethics has fo- cused on new technologies, such as genetic interven- tion, biobanks, gene-edit- ing, and artificial reproduc- tion. Indeed, Europe’s most comprehensive and legally binding set of bioethical norms, the 1997 Oviedo Convention,prescribesthat “The interests and welfare of the human being shall prevail over the sole inter- est of society or science.” FOR FULL REPORT LOG ON TO WWW.PROJECTSYNDICATE.COM Bioethics for the coronavirus pandemic S As the pandemic spread, many governments hastily implemented medical and social- distancing protocols that mirrored the Chinese authorities’ draconian response Top TWEET Prakash Javadekar @PrakashJavdekar We fought & offered Satyagrah for media freedom.I was in jail for 13 mnths for removal of press censorship.

Roosevelt, in his inaugural address in 1933, said the only thing to fear was fear itself. The coronavirus has health, economic, social, ad- ministrative, etc. aspects. There is also the fear aspect. That is not confined to the present only. Fear is very much in the minds of peo- ple, including doctors, fear of the pandemic making a re-appearance after six months or more. Neither World War 1 or World War II had the reach, the coronavi- rus has. These wars deadly and hor- rific did not involve South America and large parts of Af- rica. The coronavirus respects no national boundaries is in- visible and so unbearable so far. No fear is worse than the fear of the unknown, the fear of nature’s forces which man can neither channel nor com- prehend. Overnight it has be- come intensified and magni- fied. It is filling our minds with primordial apprehensions. Humankind is groping in the dark in fear. Parents fear for their children, immi- grants for the livelihood, the fear of galloping unemploy- ment is all too visible in America, Europe, and other parts of the globe. Where a man can find no answer, he will find fear. I am 91 years of age, so I do not fear. But I do for my wife, my son, my grandsons and my friends. Will fear be the new normal. Has a new age being born. Has medicine failed? The newspapers devote most of their pages to the damage the coronavirus is inflicting on men, women, and children. TV is a mixed blessing. It informs, it also produces fear in our minds. What will tomorrow bring? More fear or hope. Hope for whom? To those who are living in a controlled panic. Don’t panic is the mantra of the med- icos. But doctors and nurses are dying of the virus. Is hope the hope. Does any of us have an answer? The lockdown will end af- ter eight days. Gone will be social distancing. How will educational institutions ac- commodate students when each has to sit six feet from the other. Where will space come for those in the same class? The same applies to travel. The air industry the world over has gone bust. If it revives, then will passen- gers sit six feet apart. Take liquor shops. We saw the bedlam in Delhi the other day. When these booze shops re-open, no one will follow the six feet rule. Hence, we are living in a coronavirus pressure cooker. Damned if you uncover it, damned if you don’t. What about political public meetings. I have no answer, ex- cept posing questions. Like eve- ryone else I eagerly and impa- tiently await the invention of the magic vaccine, which will be available by early next year.

India’s fatality rate continued to be around 3.3%, he added. As many as 1,981 people died due to coronavi- rus infection in India since outbreak. West Bengal recorded the worst fatality rate in the country. Out of 1,678 coronavirus pa- tients, 160 succumbed to death in the state. On a brighter side, In- dia improved its recov- ery rate.

This way, the engine helped the government with “whom to test” and “where to test more” againstthecoronavirus.” “The Aarogya Setu App alerted the govern- ment about more than 650 hotspots across the country and over 300 emerginghotspotswhich could have been missed otherwise. It gives accu- rate forecast of hotspots and it is also preventing the origin of newer hotspots. The engine has generated incredible in- sights and impact with precise projections of lo- cality, direction and ve- locity of the spread of infection,” he said. The Niti Ayog chief informed that so far around69millionpeople have taken the self-as- sessment test, an adop- tionrateof morethan71 per cent, out of which, over 3.4 million people have self-declared them- selves as unwell since they were showing one or more than three symptoms. With this, a dedicated team of over 70 healthcare workers have reached to people who displayed two or more than two symp- toms of COVID-19. “This is how a dedi- cated team of more than 70 healthcare workers have reached out to about650,000peoplewho showed two or more symptoms. More than 16,000 people have been administered follow-up tele-consultation by doc- tors,” he said. At least 12,500 users, who down- loaded the Aarogya Setu, have detected posi- tive for COVID-19 so far. The Bluetooth based in- teraction data has led to around 60,000 people be- ing assessed and alerted at various degrees of risk which include self-isolation, quaran- tine and testing. About 8,500 people have tested from the set of people assessed as high-risk and of which more than 23 per cent have tested COVID-19 positive so far giving an extraordinarytestingac- curacy. The efficacy of testingrecommendedby Aarogya Setu is much higher than any testing protocolanywhereinthe world and it manifolds higher than the current overall efficacy of test- ing in India, Kant said.

  • 7. TALKING POINTJAIPUR | SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2020 07www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia BENEFITS OF LOCKDOWN midst all sorts of speculations go- ing around that India’s economy is on a downslide because of the COVID-19 lockdown amounting to huge economic losses, is there any way through which it can be said that the lockdown has also resulted in some bene- fits? The answer is yes, and ‘Shadow Benefits’ are one among them. Economists have this strange but yet very powerful way of looking at things from the lens of oppor- tunity cost and Shadow ben- efits. Opportunity cost is based on the concept of ben- efits foregone while looking at the cost of undertaking an activity. For example, while the benefits of lockdown lie in the number of COVID-19 cases being averted which could have been there other- wise, and consequently re- sulting into the proportionate cost on health care, including extremity from the number of deaths, the cost of lock- down is estimated in terms of economic activities lost and hardships caused to the poor. The Shadow benefits arise from those activities which are not directly transacted in the market and hence their valuation is not easy to ascer- tain. However, Shadow bene- fits are generally of tremen- dous value and they form the core of what we do and expect to achieve. For example, in the absence of our perception of large ecological benefits (which are not so easily meas- urable), very few trees will be planted. Most often such goods generate ‘shared value’ and tend to define the quality of living in present and how we are likely to live in the fu- ture. The failure of GDP (gross domestic product) to capture all such Shadow ben- efits makes it an insufficient and inappropriate measure of growth, rather measures that did not include Shadow benefits tended to create more problems for humanity. A lot has been written about GDP as an insufficient measure of growth, so much so that a country like Bhutan has re- placed GDP with a more holis- tic measure of growth called Gross National Happiness (GNH). Indeed, happiness is one such ‘Shadow Benefit’ which growth must produce. Obviously, amidst this lock- down, the Indian economy has come to a halt. The indus- tries have stopped produc- tion, the movement of goods and services has hampered which eventually has put a detrimental impact on India’s economic growth. While the whole world is talking about the negative side of lock- down, there is also a positive side to it. These non-quantifi- able positive benefits have been classified as ‘Shadow Benefits of Lockdown’, as ex- plained below: INDIA’S ECONOMY IS ON A DOWNSLIDE BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWN AMOUNTING TO HUGE ECONOMIC LOSSES, IS THERE ANY WAY THROUGH WHICH IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE LOCKDOWN HAS ALSO RESULTED IN SOME BENEFITS? DR PRABHAT PANKAJ Director, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur DR VARUN CHOTIA Faculty, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur During normal times, all the industrial hubs op- erating in India were con- tributing to a hazardous air-pollution level which was impacting every citizen’s health. Added to this, was the high move- ment of vehicles that peo- ple would use daily to go to their workplaces. Now, because of this lockdown, the pollution levels have come down drastically as production in local in- dustries has gone down. Further, almost the whole of the service industry in India is working from home which means no movement of vehicles on the streets. This has also lead to reducing the pollution levels across all major cities of India. As per certain reports, the Real-Time Air Quality Index is now classified as ‘good’ in many metro- politan cities of India, meaning that air quality is satisfactory and poses little or no risk. Reduced pollution and better air quality augur well for the physical as well as mental health and well-being of India’s population. During this lockdown period, another posi- tive impact is the reduc- tion in corruption and crime in India. Because of restricted movement, there is hardly any scope that exists for any sort of corruption and crime. BENEFITS Better air quality has con- siderable economic im- pacts in terms of reduced medical costs, increasing workers’ productivity, and fewer chances of damage to soil, crops, forests, lakes, and rivers. Overall, the ecological balance improves, and most importantly the reduced carbon emissions help to tackle the bigger issue of climate change. One of the recent studies showed that the earth’s ozone layer is healing because of the overall fall in the global pollution levels. As per OECD’s estimation of outdoor pollution cost, it may range up to 1% of global GDP. It looks like that a 10% reduction in concentrations of par- ticulate matter (PM 2.5) and ground-level ozone will result in tremendous welfare gain, which otherwise could have cost several millions of dollars to achieve. BENEFITS Fall in corruption and crime is yet another very strong Shadow benefit of lockdown. Studies have confirmed that the causal- ity between corruption, crime, and GDP is highly negative. Tentatively speaking, the gain in GDP due to steep fall in corruption and crime could be in several million dollars. The cost saved which may have been required to reduce cor- ruption and crime to such a low level would have really been very large. Overall, from a holistic view, all these factors point to the fact that yes there is a positive side too to this lockdown and all the above discussed Shadow benefits need to be considered while the economic trajectory of the Indian economy is being forecasted. Obvi- ously, being optimistic and taking into account the economic value of the above mentioned Shadow benefits of this lockdown, the concerns about a pos- sible recession should be discarded. Once the lock- down period ends, there is absolutely surety that each and every citizen of India shall resume services with full zeal and compassion, which shall ultimately lead to the rebound of the In- dian economy and result- ing economic growth. Any shortfall in GDP percent growth due to lockdown will have to be looked at from GDP + Shadow Benefits which has the potentiality of making our nation much more livable and lovable. BENEFITS Because of social distancing, people are spending more time at home with their respec- tive families. This is leading to more affinity among families, hence moving towards stronger ‘emotional bonding’, and the creation of stronger ‘social capital’. The emo- tional affinity helps to improve the mental well- being of citizens and they tend to be happier. Social capital as reflected in a combination of cognitive and structural factors such as interpersonal trust of citizens, good governance, etc, tends to affect GDP positively and reduce inequality. The feeling of national solidarity and brother- hood has been revamped and this augurs well for the future of our nation. Once the lockdown will be over and the situation will be back to normal, then every one of us would go back fully charged into our jobs and add value to the maximum of our abilities. The economic productivity of India is surely going to get a major boost at that time. BENEFITS Explaining the effect of video calling on participants, some researchers found out that people tend to experience higher happiness levels after they see each other. These studies have been found quoting that “As soon as it goes down to just voice, peo- ple aren’t unhappy, but they talk for slightly less time, they laugh less, they are slightly less happy afterward”. This shows that happiness levels increase immensely when people are working from home through video calling. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT LESS CORRUPTION AND CRIMEDuring these times of lockdown, ‘Social distancing’ is being promoted in order to stop the chain of virus spread. Social dis- tancing, or physical distancing, is a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions or meas- ures taken to prevent the spread of this contagious disease by maintaining a physi- cal distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other. By reducing the probability that a given uninfected person will come into physical contact with an infected person, the disease transmission can be suppressed, re- sulting in fewer deaths. For this coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested the reference to “physi- cal” as an alternative to “social”, in keeping with the notion that it is a physical distance which prevents transmission; people can remain socially connected via technology. Due to the lockdown, almost everyone in the service industry is working from home (WFH). During WFH, video calling becomes one important element that can’t be ignored. Each and every one of us has to communicate with peers and that is where video calling and face to face interaction through various ap- plications come into the picture.

A major change in bureau- cracy in the last week of April is point in this di- rection. If sources are to be believed, Bihar CM NitishKumariscontinu- ously pressurising Cen- tre to include JDU in cabinet. Assembly elec- tionsarescheduledtooc- cur at the end of the cur- rent year and Nitish is thus hoping to get his men in the central gov- ernment. On the other hand, the recent bureau- cratic shuffle has also givenanindicationtothe ministers that were fly- ing high. PM Modi has further increased the height of the political sky. For example, more than Health Minister Dr Harshvardhan its minis- try spokesperson Luv Agarwal and Secretary PritiSudanwhoareseen as compared to the min- ister. Sudan has been given a three month ex- tension as well so that when the new Secretary takes over, they are pro- vided a clean slate and any ‘wrong doing’ re- garding Corona can be attributed to former offi- cial. It is being said that RajeshBhushan,serving as OSD in Health and FamilyWelfareMinistry, could take Sudan’s spot. The transfer of Arvind Kumar Sharma, from PMO to Secretary MSME, is touted to be a move to balance Gadka- ri’s popularity. Similarly another IAS - Giridhar Aramane - for whom it is said that he does only what he feels right and doesnotlistentoanyone, has been posted in an- other ministry handled by Gadkari. Those who are hoping to become a minister have been en- gaged in ‘Shirshasana’ before the saffron high command. Jyotiraditya Scindia, who has been brought into BJP’s fold and has been sent to RS, has good chances of be- comingaminister.Young Congress leaders like Sachin Pilot and Milind Deora are being lured in. Rajya Sabha MP from Madhya Pradesh and lawyer Vivek Tankha is also known to have good relations with BJP. Even Abhishek Manu Singhvi has tried to open a route for himself in BJP by claiming Madhav Rao Scindia to be his mentor. All in all, Modi cabinet’s nextexpansioncouldsee faces whose names are nowhere to be heard. WHERE IS BJP’S ‘CHANAKYA’? Hehasaspecialtalent on riding the waves of news. He is the only ministerof Modigovern- ment who stays in the news on his own will, mends the news and when needed also gives ‘sustenance’ to ‘new seeds’. During the past few days, social media went viral with news re- lated to Amit Shah’s health, however putting an end to all these ru- mours, Shah was seen chairing an important meetingondisasterman- agement related to Vizag Gas leak. If sources are to be believed, Shah has full knowledge of his po- litical weight, so these days he has been in- volved in bringing his body weight down. Sources reveal that he is exercising for three hours in this time of lockdown and has only fruits and vegetables to eat. Hence he has lost weight too. Along with keeping an eye on Coro- na, he has focused his gaze on Rajasthan and Maharashtratoo.Rumor mills are rife about SachinPilotinRajasthan and Shah has already played a hand with Raj Thackeray who is busy devising a plan to bifur- cate Shiv Sena. It is be- lievedthatVivekTankha from Madhya Pradesh is also in contact with him as is Milind Deora from Maharashtra. Since due to lockdown, Shah has notbeenabletogettohis home in Ahmedabad for a long time, so he wel- comed a new member to his family in the form of recently born grand- daughter through video calling. Interestingly on Saturday, four muslim men were arrested by Ahmedabad police for spreading a photo- shopped tweet of Shah claiming that he was suf- fering from bone cancer. Shah took to Twitter to removeanydoubtsabout his health and said that he was hale and hearty. WILL INDIA BE A HUB FOR MANUFACTURING? There is no one like Moditohittheballat the opportune moment. OnUSPrez’srequest,the manner in which India supplied Paracetamol and HCQ tablets with open arms, has changed America’s approach. Sourcesclaimmorethan 1,000companiesinvolved in textiles, medical, food processing, IT, Agro- productsandmobilesare seen leaning towards In- dia. Several big Europe- an and Japanese compa- nies, who have been dis- traught with China, are looking towards India. The Indian Missions sit- uated in several nations is also working to make this into a positive devel- opment by contacting major corporate heads. India has contested that after China, it is biggest market in South-East Asia hence those compa- nies who manufacture goods in India, can get them consumed here. Govt has also asked CMs to work on the lines to lure in foreign compa- nies. States likes Maha- rashtraandGujarathave alsobeengivensignalsin this regard and Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani have also signaled that he has reserved 1,000 hectare landforthosecompanies that want to shift their manufacturing from China to India. But the rampantredtapeism,tax policy, power tarrif and labour policy is what is keeping the companies suspicious and hence In- dia’s ambition is being challenged by smaller countries like Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand. Few days back compa- nies like Google and Mi- crosoft shifted their mo- bilemanufacturingunits from China to Vietnam since there is no red ta- peism. The companies investing in Vietnam are askedjusttwoquestions, first how much are they investing and secondly how many jobs will they becreating?Ontheother hand the Bhartiya Maz- door Sangh has said in a statement that it will not let India become a hub for cheap labour.

Those migrants that have been issued a pass, they should be informed about departure of train so that they can reach station according to schedule,” Gehlot said. CM also stated that in case of medical emergency, death or other important work, the process should be simplified and passes should be issued with- out any delay. “If it be- comes extremely impor- tant process of offline pass should also be initi- ated in addition to on- line pass.

From P1 Meanwhile, con- demning rumours about the ill-health of Shah, several BJP workers, including party president JP Nadda, on Saturday, took to Twitter to ex- press their displeas- ure over people who spread such rumours about Shah. Mean- while, they also sup- ported their Twitter posts with ‘#HumareP- yareAmitBhai’ to ex- press their love for the Home Minister. Shah while taking to Twitter said, “Lakhs of workers from my party and my well-wishers have expressed their deep concerns regarding my health over the last two days. I can- not ignore their con- cern for me. This is why I want to clarify today that I am per- fectly healthy and I do not have any dis- ease.” Shah even said ac- cording to the Hindu belief, rumours about one’s health could strengthen the person further. “So, I would re- quest every such per- son to give up this meaningless talks and let me do my job and they may go ahead do- ing theirs,” Shah wrote. Thanking his well- wishers and BJP workers for enquir- ing about his health, he said that he has “no hatred towards those who spread the rumours”. He also urged people to not spread or believe in such rumours.

Home Minister Amit Shah —FILE PHOTO Kartikey Dev Singh Jaipur: There was time in Rajasthan, not too long ago, when feudal lords warred against each other on every lit- tle issue. The history of the desert state is replete with instanc- es of battles being carried out by almost anyone who has had a fair share in the ‘pow- er-pie’. and all this to assert their own su- premacy. While things ebbed a little during the Raj, but the tussles for power continued and have remained so even after seven decades of Independence. The recent ‘battle’ is between two IAS ACS Rajeshwar Singh and Principal Secretary Arushi Malik, which has been ongoing for past sometime but now it has crossed the ‘lax- man-rekha’ and en- tered into the media foray. Word is that the fight between senior and junior is on every- one tongues and even CM Ashok Gehlot, Deputy CM Sachin Pi- lot and Chief Secre- tary DB Gupta know about it. But hat actu- ally ‘ignited’ this ‘fire’? Well, anyone who knows bureaucracy, knows what is seeks most : Re- spect. And in this case Rajeshwar found him- self on the opposite end! Sources reveal that when the work for Ran- chayat reorganization was being carried out, a meeting had ben called and minister Harish Choudharyhadreached Amit Dhaka’s cabin fol- lowed by Rajeshwar Singh and Arushi Ma- lik. During the discus- sion, Choudhary took Dhaka to a separate va- cant room and after sometime, Aarushi was also called in, thus leav- ing Rajeshwar - a senior bureaucrat- alone in Dhaka’s room. It is said thatthisincidentmiffed Rajeshwar and caused this ongoing ‘battle’. But even Arushi has not gone an extra mile to quell the ‘feud’ rather added ‘ghee’ to fire. Ma- lik, who has good politi- cal contacts, hailing from a political family, is known for her alleged harsh attitude and way- wardhandlingof issues. Comingtoofficelateand leaving early is one of the favourite acts the Principal Secretary pullsoutatregularinter- vals.Interestingly,sourc- es reveal that few days backtheCMhadcalleda meeting and ACS asked Arushitocompileallthe details related to Pan- chayats, however mere formality was carried out in this and on this the duo fought a ‘verbal- battle’ before half a doz- en officials which deep- ened the divide. Then there is the issue of pro- motion of engineers for which a three member committee was formed. The file was approved by DOP, Finance depart- ment and Chief Secre- tarygaveordersforDPC. Pilot had already given his permission for it. A joint secretary in the de- partment - Prem Singh Charan - sent the file to finance department through Arushi without ACS’s approval and the finance department ob- served objection over this. When the file fell in Rajeshwar’s lap, he was taken aback. He then shot a letter to CS re- questing him to transfer Arushi to other depart- ment, and this was six months back. But now it seems a culmination of the battle is in the offing. Principal Secretary to CM Gehlot, Kul- deep Ranka has been informed about the entire episode and both the versions to the ‘story’ has been presented to him. Al- though CS has not seen the file however he has taken a verbal feedback over the issue and it is believed that discipli- nary action will be tak- en in the matter/ as a result either of them could be made APO or transferred and CM Ge- hlot will take the final call in the matter.

Yes, the one where he said “Mere paas maa hai”, which ultimate- ly embodies the significant meaning of a mother’s exist- ence in one’s life. The portray- al of mothers has always been prominent in Bollywood films and despite an extra pinch of drama, Bollywood has more or less been a part of our lives and has shaped the way we express our emotions in real- ity. Mothers are portrayed in many roles by Bollywood, from the emotionally con- cerned and stressed mother to the housewife who aptly looks after the children and home as her main priorities; how- ever, over the past decade, Bollywood’s depiction of a ‘mother’ has seen tremendous change in terms of the por- trayal of characters, behav- ioural perception and the ul- timate notion of what moth- ers really are. This, of course, is a welcoming change be- cause a mom, in films, is no longer the person standing at the doorstep with a ‘puja ki thali’, waiting endlessly for her child. They have gone from long-suffering martyrs to flawed yet sassy women who know what they want. While the essence of love and affection remain the same, the tears have lessened andfriendlinesshasincreased in the characters of Bolly- wood mothers. This Mother’s Day, let’s rewind a little bit from where it started and how far we’ve come with the differ- ent shades of mothers! The crying and majboor mother: The image of a sob- bing Nirupa Roy, clad in white sari, was a trademark for dec- ades. The impression is so deep that her look is remem- bered even today by all gen- erations. The Courageous Moth- er: Nargis Dutt’s character in Mother India, where she be- comes an epitome of strength when her husband leaves the house and she is left alone to take care of her children. An- other was that of Kirron Kher in Dostana, who although with a heavy heart, was ready to accept her son’s boyfriend. The Friendly Mother: Then came Reema Lagoo, with all the bindi and sindoor, as a mother in Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hain. She played the charac- ter of mother- cum-friend to her children. The Ulti- mate Mom: Gauri Shin- de’s ‘Eng- lish Ving- lish’, where Shashi’s char- acter strives to learn English to ‘fit in’ in her teenage daughter’s world. She triumphs in the end, sub- tly underlining important life lessons. With films like Mom, Secret Superstar, Ra. one, Jazbaa, Helicopter Eela, Paa, and Dostana, the evolution of mothers in Bollywood has certainly been an inter- esting one and now a mother is no longer blindly wor- shipped, but loved and respected.

Are you okay with movies that feature characters who are unabashedly racist, so long as they are wacky racists? Have you lain awake late at night wondering what Ju- lia Roberts might look like if she happened to be sport- ing Moe Howard’s hairdo? If so, then “Mother’s Day” may just be the movie for you. If not, you should give the widest berth possible to this staggeringly incompe- tent blend of silliness and schmaltz—a film so awful that if one were to put up a list of the great films cele- brating motherhood, it would rank considerably lower than the Gus van Santversionof “Psycho.” The characters in- clude Sandy (Jennifer Aniston), whose pic- ture-perfect divorce is threatened when her for- mer husband (Timothy Olyphant) unexpectedly marries his much-younger girlfriend Tina (Shay Mitchell) and tries to include her in the lives of their two young sons. She is friends with Jessie (Kate H u d s o n ) and Gabi (Sarah Chal- ke), who have both moved far away from their trailer trash parents (Margo Martin- dale and Robert Pine) and are both keeping secrets from them—Jessie is mar- ried to an Indian man named Russell (Aasif Man- dvi) and has a son with him (named Tanner, yuk yuk yuk) and Gabi is married to a woman (Cameron Es- posito) and has a son with her as well. Bradley (Jason Sudeikis) is the hapless fa- ther to two daughters who is still reeling from the death of his wife nearly a year earlier. Meanwhile, Kristin (Britt Robertson) is a young mother who doesn’t want to marry her long-time boyfriend (Jack Whitehall), not because he is a bad stand-up comedian but because she has aban- donment issues stemming from having been adopted. Finally, Miranda (Julia Roberts) is a host of a home shopping show who has no family to speak of because of her career goals, so there is obviously no way that she could be connected with any of the previously mentioned characters, so put that thought out of your mind right now. In the past, it has been suggested that Garry Mar- shall does not make film for the supposedly refined palates of critics—he spe- cializes in broad entertain- ment for mass audiences who are not necessarily in the mood for subtlety and introspection. This is not necessarily true—besides “Valentine’s Day,” He and the four screenwriters (three of them newcomers and the other the scribe of the deathless “Monster-in- Law”) have put their heads together to concoct a script that juggles far too many characters and plot lines. They neglect to include any moments of genuine insight about motherhood, or much of anything else for that matter. Instead, we get the usual hacky jokes (ranging from the Sudeikis character be- ing embarrassed when the tampons he is buying for his daughter require a price check, to a fat guy nicknamed Tiny) and equally contrived heart-to- heart moments so sitcom-y that you’ll be unconscious- ly reaching for the remote. These jokes are occasion- ally interrupted by bits so insane that you cannot im- agine what the writers were thinking when they were added to the script. Why would so many good actors sign up for a script this dopey? My guess is that they look upon these things as the equivalent of parties where they can make an appearance, have some fun without doing much in the way of heavy lifting and get paid a lot of money in the process. Trust me, they would have been better served if Marshall had just forgone the film en- tirely and filmed the cast party. None of the actors are able to find a way to rise above the material, instead just plowing through in the broadest manner possible while try- ing not to look too obvi- ously embarrassed.
