Devise ways to tackle locust crisis: Gehlot instructs ministers, babus
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: In order to
bring relief to the farm-
ers battling locust out-
burst and to save their
crops from further dam-
age, the Gehlot govern-
ment will soon pur-
chase 100 fire fighting
vehicles. These vehi-
cles, purchased from
the State Disaster Re-
lief Fund (SDRF), will
be useful in locust con-
trol as well as disaster
relief.
An amount of Rs1.47
crore has been made
available to the district
collectors from SDRF
with which they can
hire local vehicles and
water tankers includ-
ing tractor mounted
sprayers for locust con-
trol and to make neces-
sary arrangements for
insecticides immedi-
ately. Along with this,
the recruitment process
of 290 assistant agricul-
tural officers and 1,900
agricultural supervi-
sors in the Agriculture
Department will also be
completed soon.
On the instructions
of Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot, the ongo-
ing locust crisis in the
state was reviewed in a
video conference held
at CMR on Wednesday.
In the video conference,
Agriculture Minister
Lalchand Kataria and
Revenue Minister Har-
ish Chaudhary said
that there is no short-
age of money and re-
sources to control lo-
custs. They stressed
that a large number of
locusts are breeding in
African countries and
their swarms are ex-
pected to reach Ra-
jasthan. “In this way, we
have to work on district-
wise strategy for which
along with the efforts of
Locust Warning Organ-
ization and state gov-
ernment, cooperation
of local farmers should
also be sought,” the
ministers said.
MoS Agriculture
Bhajan Lal Jatav said
that monsoon season
will start soon and with
this, farmers will start
sowing. “If this prob-
lem is not controlled on
time, then the possibil-
ity of damage to crops
cannot be ruled out.
MoS Forest and Envi-
ronment Sukhram
Vishnoi said that last
year, “We had succeed-
ed in overcoming the
locust outbreak due to
collective efforts. This
time too, we can effec-
tively control them by
destroying them at
night when they settle
down.”
Meanwhile, Chief
Secretary DB Gupta
said financial and hu-
man resources are be-
ing made available to
district collectors as per
the need for locust con-
trol. The Agriculture
Department is engaged
in this challenging
work with the Locust
Warning Organisation.
“Till now locust control
has been done in about
95,000 hectare area. Co-
operation with BSF is
also being taken to get
concrete information
about the arrival of lo-
custs in the border dis-
tricts, said, Naresh Pal

RS polls: Cong to issue whip to MLAs in Raj
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: As the clock for
upper house elections
ticks Congress has start-
ed unfolding its strategy
beginning with the deci-
sion to issue a whip to all
party MLAs to maintain
voting discipline. It is
noteworthy that veteran
leader Ahmed Patel
could only win when
two-party MLAs were
brought under the Public
Representation Act.
The state will be hold-
ing elections to three va-
cant seats for which both
Congress and BJP have
fielded two candidates
each. Congress will is-
sue a whip to all its 107
legislators which will be
binding on them. Al-
though there seems to be
no chance of cross-vot-
ing by CLP, but nobody is
in the mood to take
chances.
Whip typically is a tool
under the Anti-Defection
Law which is binding on
the party members and
any infringement can at-
tract disqualification
from the house. There
are three types of whips.
One line, two lines, and
three lines. The last one
being the most stringent
and is used on crucial is-
sues like debate and vot-
ing on no-confidence mo-
tion with the provision
of disqualification of
house membership if
anymembergoesagainst
the party whip.
According to whip, the
voting for Rajya Sabha is
done under an open bal-
lot system where every
MLA votes only after
showing the ballot to the
authorized party agent
else the vote becomes in-
valid. The provision of
whip originates from a
court verdict to uphold
constitutional traditions
to stop cross-voting, curb
horse-trading, and keep
legislators disciplined.
Congress has fielded
KC Venugopal and
Neeraj Dangi in the fray
and the party expects
votes of 13 independent
MLAs apart from 2 BTP,
1 RLD, and 107 Congress
MLAs.
The state will be holding elections to 3 vacant seats for which both Cong & BJP have fielded 2 candidates each
RS polls for three seats of Rajasthan will be held on June 19.

HARBINGER OF HOPE
The effect of western
disturbance active in
the state remained in 20
districts on Wednesday
and there were rains
with strong winds. The
pre-monsoon activities
have started in the
state. As per the MeT
Department, Rajasthan is
not directly affected by
the Nisarga cyclone, but
the disturbance is getting
moisture from it. In such
a situation, there is a
possibility of more rain.

More domestic flights to operate from Jaipur airport
Kashiram Chaudhary
Jaipur: Mission ‘Vande
Bharat’ launched to
bring back Rajasthanis
stuck abroad would end
on Thursday. It is now
expected that more do-
mestic flights would be
operational.
Since the number of
passengers has also be-
gun to increase in do-
mestic flights; some im-
portant changes are
likely to take place.
Meanwhile, nine flights
were cancelled on
Wednesday.
At present, domestic
as well as international
flights are operational
from Jaipur Airport.
However, the operation
of international flights
would be closed from
Thursday. These flights
had started as part of
the ‘Vande Bharat’ mis-
sion from May 22. Un-
der this mission, 21
flights have arrived till
date. The last flight will
arrive from Dubai, to-
day at 5 PM.
Altogether, these
flights would bring 3000
passengers. The old ar-
rival hall was used for
‘Vande Bharat’ mission
flights and the new ar-
rival hall for passengers
of domestic flights.
However, as the number
of domestic passengers
is increasing these pas-
sengers can also pass
through the old arrival
hall.
Also, for the first
time, the new departure
hall will be used. Nearly
half a dozen flights op-
erate between 10 am
and 1 pm. There is only
one gate for the depar-
ture resulting in too
much crowd at the air-
portduringthesehours.
Airport director Jai-
deep Singh Balhara
said that due to heavy
rush, more departure
gates would be opened
soon. He also said that
to maintain social dis-
tancing, a new depar-
ture hall will also be
operational soon.

Jaipur: While corona-
virus has hit the cities
hard, it is rural Ra-
jasthan which has done
better as citizens living
in towns have been
more aware and alert
about ongoing global
pandemic, believes ad-
ditional chief secre-
tary (ACS) Veenu Gup-
ta.
In an exclusive inter-
view to First India, the
ACS elaborated on the
steps taken by Ra-
jasthan government to
fight the pandemic,
saying that 17 lakh peo-
ple - mostly the mi-
grants who returned
home - had been quar-
antined so far in six
thousand quarantine
centres .
With such a large
population returning
post the lockdown be-
ing lifted, it could have
been chaos but the gov-
ernment went into an
overdrive mode to cre-
ate awareness and edu-
cate the masses about
the pandemic. This is
where, according to
Gupta, rural Rajasthan
put it’s hand up by
strict adherence to
guidelines.
According to her, vil-
lagers are quite alert
about coronavirus.
When movement of mi-
grants began everyone
was worried but excep-
tional work happened
in rural areas, which
became possible with
help of public repre-
sentatives.
Gupta’s experience
in then health depart-
ment also came in
handy. She had headed
the state health depart-
ment when the state
was facing problems
with another virus,
zika. Her department’s
successful handling of
the disease meant that
she was made in-charge
of the quarantine cen-
tres across the state
when corona spread.
“It was difficult.
Sometimes there were
as many as 22,000 peo-
ple in a quarantine cen-
tre. We had to ensure
that they get food and
other essential sup-
plies. Plus, there were
people in home quaran-
tine and we had to
make sure that they fol-
lowed it strictly. Here
district administration
and information tech-
nology helped. We had
contact details of each
and every individual
who was quaran-
tined. We had to
be strict,” Gup-
ta pointed out.
She also
cautioned that
there was still
the need to
stay alert as
the cases in
the state had
not stopped.

comed Modi govt’s ini-
tiative of increasing the
MSP of 14 main crops by
50 to 83% on recommen-
dation of Commission
of Agricultural Costs &
Prices (CACP).
Rathore called CM
Gehlot’s timid response
to this step as expres-
sion of his narrow &
anti farmer mentality.
He said that central govt
is resolute to double
farmer’s income. He
called the step unprece-
dented as no Congress

had ever increased MSP
following the CACP rec-
ommendations.

NISARGA SPARES
MUMBAI AND
COVID PATIENTS
ven as the country’s east coast is
still recovering from the havoc
wreaked by Cyclone Ampham, the
poetic sounding Nisarga (Nature)
made landfall in Mumbai on
Wednesday afternoon. Although it was the
worst cyclone to hit the east coast, thankfully
it was not even half as destructive as Am-
pham. Mercifully, it spared Mumbai, where it
was expected to cause maximum damage and
also Gujarat. With a wind speed of 110 kilo-
metres per hour, the cyclone battered Alibag
before lashing Raigad district. Mumbai,
which is 100 km away from Alibag, was expe-
riencing heavy rains. The airport was closed
for operations till 7 pm. Bandra-Worli sea link
has been shut for traffic. For Mumbaikars,
however, the day was a page from a bad mon-
soon which they are used to facing every year.
For a state reeling under the Covid-19 pandem-
ic with the highest number of cases and fatalities
in the country, the approaching cyclone was like
a nightmare as Mumbai waited for landfall with
bated breath. With cyclone moving towards
Raigad uprooting some trees and poles, moderate
to heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds
was predicted by the Met department.
At the end of the day, Mumbai could heave
a sigh of relief that the cyclone had passed
without causing much damage. But the disrup-
tion it caused in the State’s campaign against
Covid-19 was huge. Maharashtra accounts for
more than one-third of India’s total Covid-19
cases. Ways were devised to shift positive pa-
tients to safer places. Maintaining social dis-
tanceduringsevereweatherdisturbanceposed
another big challenge but the government ap-
peared to be ready for the exigency.
The cyclone posed a threat to the 1000-bed open-
air hospital for Covid-19 patients at Bandra-Kurla
Complex (BKC) and another 200-bed hospital at
Nature Park in Dharavi. The open-air hospital,
the first of its kind in the country, set up by the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Au-
thority has a 200-bed intensive care unit as well.
Earlier, MMRDA said in a statement, “The
impending threat of Cyclone Nisarga is
upon Mumbai. The hospital can sustain
winds of up to 80-100 km per hour. However,
with human lives at stake, as a precaution-
ary measure, all the patients (about 150) are
being shifted by Brihanmumbai Municipal
Corporation (BMC).” The government man-
aged to shift the patients from the makeshift
BKC hospital to hospitals in Sion and Worli
on Tuesday.
In the case of Dharavi hospital, the BMC said
that the patients did not require shifting. Unlike
Ampham in West Bengal, which rendered thou-
sands homeless and made the social distancing
norm impractical, Mumbai had it easy.
The cyclone came and went but the pan-
demic is still there. What the government
forgot was a group of migrant workers
stranded under an over bridge near the
Lokmanya Tilak terminus in Mumbai. Re-
ports said they were hungry and exposed to
the cyclonic storm and the pandemic until
they found a Good Samaritan.
IN-DEPTH
E
he post-pan-
demic world
e c o n o m y
seems likely to
be a far less
globalized economy, with
political leaders and
publics rejecting open-
ness in a manner unlike
anything seen since the
tariff wars and competi-
tive devaluations of the
1930s. And the byprod-
uct will be not just slow-
er growth, but a signifi-
cant fall in national in-
comes for all but perhaps
the largest and most di-
versified economies.
In his prescient 2001
book The End of Globaliza-
tion, the Princeton eco-
nomic historian Harold
James showed how an ear-
lier era of global economic
and financial integration
collapsed under the pres-
sures of unexpected events
during the Great Depres-
sion of the 1930s, culminat-
ing in World War II. Today,
the COVID-19 pandemic
appears to be accelerating
another withdrawal from
globalization.
The current retreat be-
gan with Donald Trump’s
victory in the 2016 US
presidential election,
which led to tariff wars
between the United States
and China. The pandemic
will likely have an even
larger negative long-
term impact on trade,
partly because govern-
ments increasingly rec-
ognize that they need to
regard public-health ca-
pacity as a national-secu-
rity imperative.
The risk today of a de-
bilitating 1930s-style over-
shoot in deglobalization is
massive, particularly if the
US-China relationship con-
tinues to fray. And it is folly
to think that a chaotic,
crisis-driven retreat from
globalization will not in-
troduce more – and vastly
more serious – problems.
Even the US, with its
highly diversified econo-
my, world-leading tech-
nology, and strong natu-
ral-resource base, could
suffer a significant de-
cline in real GDP as a
result of deglobaliza-
tion. For smaller econo-
mies and developing
countries that are una-
ble to reach critical mass
in many sectors and of-
ten lack natural resourc-
es, a breakdown in trade
would reverse many dec-
ades of growth. And that
is before considering the
long-lasting impact of
social-distancing and
quarantine measures.
The late economist Al-
berto Alesina, a towering
figure in the field of politi-
cal economy, argued that
for a well-governed coun-
try in the age of globaliza-
tion, small can be beauti-
ful. But today, small coun-
tries that lack a close eco-
nomic alliance with a large
state or union face huge
economic risks.
True, globalization has
fueled economic inequal-
ities among the approxi-
mately one billion people
who live in advanced
economies. Trade compe-
tition has hammered low-
wage workers in some
sectors, even while mak-
ing goods less expensive
for everyone. Financial
globalization has argua-
bly had an even larger ef-
fect by increasing the
profits of multinational
corporations and offer-
ing new high-return for-
eign-investment instru-
ments for the wealthy,
especially since 1980.
To be sure, the current
model of globalization
needs adjusting, particu-
larly by greatly strengthen-
ing the social safety net in
advanced economies and –
to the extent possible – in
emerging markets, too. But
building resilience does
not mean tearing down the
entire system and starting
over again.

Held a meeting with stakeholders
from Real Estate & Construction
Industry, one of India’s mega job
creating sectors and a key driver
of the economy. Discussed various
measures to give a boost to affordable
‘Housing for All’ and providing relief
to homebuyers & developers.
orona pandemic has put a pall
of gloom over the human race,
threatening it’s very exist-
ence. The all mighty humans,
armed with latest technologies,
weapon systems, super com-
puters having artificial intel-
ligence, diagnostic tools, ad-
vance medication and abun-
dance of resources have never
felt so helpless against a tiny
virus called COVID-19.
Human race has existed for
millions of years and survived
many such catastrophes. Just
highlighting only two such pan-
demics. The Bubonic plague
(Black Death) in the 14th cen-
tury AD reduced the world’s
population by over 100 million
from 475 million at that time. It
brought the Mongol Empire to
its knees and it cut China off
from Europe for centuries. Sim-
ilarly, Spanish flu shook the
world I 1918-20. Almost 50 mil-
lion people perished in the
world. After every such catas-
trophe, human race has come
out stronger and more resilient
to live for another day. Howev-
er, the world has never been the
same, as before.
Turbulent times like present
one invariably change the exist-
ing geo-strategic trends. The
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
has unleashed similar fury of
nature.Theworldwillsooneror
latergetoverthisPandemic,the
geo political realignment that it
will cause, will have much larg-
er ramifications and will result
into a new world order that will
emerge post corona times.
The key indicators of the
present world order, in disar-
ray, are as follows-
	z UNO - The UNO being the
largest international forum,
could have played a key role
in containing the pandemic
through its extensive humani-
tarian aid network but unfortu-
nately it was found wanting.
	z USA no longer the only super
power - Corona crisis seri-
ously diminishes America’s
credibility, globally. The loss of
America’s superpower status
will accentuate the transition
to a Multi-polar World, post
Corona.
	z China’s image takes a beat-
ing - China is being portrayed
as villain instrumental in
spread of corona virus. The
world has started social dis-
tancing itself from China.
	z Europe no longer in relevance
- In a cruel twist of fate, the
Europe is the hardest hit by
corona virus. The failure to
mobilize a pan-European re-
sponse to the has dealt a blow
to the EU.
	z Globalisation redefined - At a
general level, more and more
people are blaming globaliza-
tion. All countries are busy
fighting the corona within own
resources since, Globalization
has taken a back seat. A new
edition of globalization will
emerge in the post corona era.
	z Non-reliance on regional
alliances - The regional alli-
ances are by and large defunct
or cosmetic in joint battles
against corona. All the bon-
homie of jointness soon got on
backburner and each country
is fighting their own battle.
But one thing is certainly
predictable that the history of
COVID-19 and new geopolitics
will be scripted by the Victors
on the global level and they will
lead the world in the emerging
New World Order. Though it’s
very difficult to crystal gaze
the post corona world, however,
certain pointers are as follows:-
	z The concept of superpowers
will be over for some time and
a multipolar diffused world
order will emerge. USA and
China dominance in world af-
fairs will recede.
	z A new template of globalization
based on fairness, equality and
humanity will emerge.
	z COVID-19 will undermine the
basic tenets of global manufac-
turing. Companies will now re-
think and shrink the multistep,
multi-country supply chains.
	z The pandemic will strengthen
the nationalism. The nations
will become more and more
self-reliant (atmanirbhar). Lo-
cal will be preferred.
	z International travel for tourism,
business, cultural exchanges,
pilgrimages, education, knowl-
edge sharing and geopolitics
will take a major beating.
	z Large scale migrations across
national frontiers and intra
state will also reduce consider-
ably.
	z These trends may trigger
realignments where blocks of
interdependency. Therefore,
need based mutually interde-
pendent regional alliance may
come up.
	z Working norms for the indus-
try may change. Work from
home and digital linking will be
predominant. This will reduce
pressure on metro towns.
	z Social distancing will be the
new norm with events and
ceremonies confined to near
and dears. Eating out will have
to redefine itself.
	z Health and Hygiene will be the
primary focus of nation states
and considerable expenditure
will be incurred to strengthen
the same.
	z Economic recession will be a
stark reality. Unemployment,
poverty and social unrest over
limited resources will follow.
Opportunities don’t happen,
you have to create them. The
world perceives that China is
responsible for this global trag-
edy of immeasurable propor-
tions. After the virus spread
across the globe, the Chinese
now face ‘social distancing’ by
the international community.
Fromageopoliticalperspective,
this crisis has given India an op-
portunity to position itself as
an alternative manufacturing
destination for global compa-
nies after the corona times. To-
day, we are in a position to nego-
tiate as equal partners with the
US, EU or Japan. India will play
a pivotal role in the Emerging
World Order with strong leader-
ship and mature democratic
credentials highlighted during
Corona crisis, when high and
mighty struggled. India can
catapult itself to the centre
stage of Emerging New World,
post Corona, if it leverages Co-
rona threat to it’s advantages.
21-century belongs to India.

New Delhi: Former
Congress Chief Rahul
Gandhi once again
questioned the Naren-
dra Modi-led BJP gov-
ernment at the Centre
over the military stand-
off with China and
asked if the govern-
ment could confirm
that no Chinese soldiers
entered India.
In a tweet, Rahul
Gandhi said, “Can Gov-
ernment of India please
confirm that no Chi-
nese soldiers have en-
tered India?” He also
attached a news report
that said that India-Chi-
na will hold top-level
military meeting on
June 6 in a bid to re-
solve the troop confron-
tation in eastern
Ladakh, quoting De-
fence Minister Rajnath
Singh, where he also
admitted that Chinese
soldiers were present in
a sizeable number in
the high altitude.
Earlier, Rahul Gan-
dhi slammed Centre on
May 29 & during his
press conference in last
week of May. In a tweet
on May 29, Gandhi said,
“The government’s si-
lence about the border
situation with China is
fuelling massive specu-
lation and uncertainty
at a time of crisis. Gov-
ernment of India must
come clean and tell In-
dia exactly what’’s hap-
pening.”
On May 26, during
his fourth address to
media through vc, the
former Congress chief
had said, “The details
of what happened along
the border, the govern-
ment should share with
the people.”
He said what hap-
pened with Nepal and
why, what is happening
in Ladakh should be
made clear. “I cannot
see transparency. The
issue of Ladakh and
China is a live issue.
Transparency is re-
quired,” he said.
He was responding to
a question on the face-
off on the LAC that was
triggered after the Chi-
nese objected to road

opment of infrastruc-
ture by India within the

New Delhi: Hearing a
petition seeking direc-

amend the Constitu-
tion and change the
name of the country
from India to Bharat,
Chief Justice of India
S A Bobde told the peti-
tioner that India is al-
ready called Bharat in
the Constitution.
While declining to en-
tertain the plea, the
Supreme Court said
the petition could be
considered as a repre-
sentation to the gov-
ernment.
A bench headed by
CJI and comprising
Justices A S Bopanna
and Hrishikesh Roy
asked the petitioner’s
counsel, “Why have
you come here? India is
already called Bharat
in the Constitution.”
Advocate Ashwin
Vaish, appearing for
the Delhi-based peti-
tioner, argued that the
plea seeked amend-
ment to Article 1 of the
Constitution. Towhich,
the CJI replied, “We
can’t do that.”
He reiterated that In-
dia is already called
Bharat in the Constitu-
tion. Vaish argued that
the English name India
did not represent the
culture and tradition
of the country; instead,
its origin is Greek, and
it is derived from the
word ‘Indica’.
Vaish said that there
are many examples
where ‘Bharat Mata ki
Jai’ was used, urged

to make a representa-
tion before appropriate

New Delhi: Supreme
Court sought reply
from journalist Upen-
dra Rai, accused in a
money laundering case
related to alleged extor-
tion and dubious finan-
cial transactions, on a
plea of Enforcement
Directorate challeng-
ing grant of bail to him.
A bench of Chief
Justice S A Bobde and
Justices A S Bopanna
and Hrishikesh Roy is-
sued notice to Rai and
sought his response.
The Enforcement Di-
rectorate has chal-
lenged the July 9, last
year order of the Delhi
High Court by which it
had granted bail to Rai,
who had spent 13
months in jail till then.
The high court had

after he secured bail in
a Central Bureau of In-

ed to alleged extortion
and dubious financial
transactions. The CBI
had arrested him on
May 3, 2018. ED had in
HC opposed Rai’s bail
plea saying that mere-

been granted to him in
two predicate offences
investigated by CBI
could not be the sole
criteria to grant him
relief in the money
laundering case. —PTI

election (is) scheduled
for June 19 in MP. (There
are) three seats and four
candidates. The victory
and defeat depend on the
process of the election.
As per the election law ex-
perts, big legal mistakes

New Delhi: After being
informed about the
plight of Odias strand-
ed abroad, BJP’s top
leader from Odisha and
Union Minister, Dhar-
mendra Pradhan has
requested the Centre to
make arrangements to
bring back the people.
Pradhan has requested
that direct flights to
Bhubaneswar from the
gulf countries, UK and
Sri Lanka be operated
to bring back the people
stranded there due to
the COVID-19 crisis.
Shooting separate let-
ters to his colleagues-
External Affairs MInis-
ter, S Jaishankar and
Civil Aviation Minister,
Hardeep Singh Puri -
Pradhan sought the
government’s interven-
tion for arranging
flights from these coun-
tries to bring back the
stranded Odias.
Commending the
work of Civil Aviation
Ministry, Pradhan said
he received a represen-
tation from Odia people
living abroad request-
ing to be brought back
to Bhubaneswar.
Since they are in
good numbers in these
countries, direct flights
may be arranged from
cities such as Dubai,
Doha, Dammam, Mus-
cat, Bahrain, Colombo
and London to Bhu-
baneswar, which would
also make commercial
sense for the airlines,
Pradhan said in his let-
ters. Inspite of being in
Delhi, 1700 km away
from Bhubaneswar,
Pradhan has gone pro-
active in highlighting
and taking up Odisha
related issues with PM

preciated by Chief Min-

A PANDEMIC IS A PERFECT “ANXIETY STEW.” IT HAS ALL THE INGREDIENTS THAT GO INTO CAUSING WORRY EVEN IN PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT TYPICALLY ANXIETY-PRONE. THESE INCLUDE: UNCONTROLLABILITY, UNCERTAINTY AND HIGH CONSEQUENCE
H
alf of Canadi-
ans reported
a worsening
of their mental health
due to the COVID-19
pandemic in an April
poll. In Alberta, a sim-
ilar government poll
found 74 per cent of
Albertans felt the pan-
demic had negatively
affected their mental
health.
These stats are not
surprising, because a
pandemic is a perfect
“anxiety stew.” It has
all the ingredients
that go into causing
worry even in people
who are not typically
anxiety-prone. These
include: uncontrolla-
bility, uncertainty
and high conse-
quence.
Besides following
public health guide-
lines, there is little
any one individual
can do to control the
spread of the virus or
the magnitude of the
pandemic. How this
will unfold locally and
around the world is
highly uncertain, and
there is no shortage
of speculation (much
of it not based on evi-
dence). Humans dis-
like uncertainty and
tend to “fill-in-the-
blanks” in situations
like this, which often
results in highly im-
probable worst-case
scenarios.
Finally, the conse-
quences of not getting
it right are high: you
or family members
contracting the virus,
potential sickness and
untold deaths world-
wide.
Add to this job loss
and financial strain,
social isolation and
loneliness, close con-
tact that may lead to
arguments or abuse,
stress of working
from home while be-
ing responsible for
childcare and home-
schooling, and worry-
ing about far away or
elderly family mem-
bers. It is no wonder
there are reports of
escalating mental
health problems. In
these circumstances
we need to look out for
one another and do
what we can to ease
the burden.
It’s a tough situa-
tion, but there are ac-
tions individuals can
take to cope with the
circumstances and
ease the suffering.
Living through this
pandemic is tough.
Many of us have not
been in this situation
before. We have no
rules or experience or
role models to turn to.
We are making things
up as we go along. You
may be feeling lost,
confused, anxious and
worried. So is everyone
else. These are all totally
normal emotions. Allow
yourself these feelings,
have compassion and
patience for your own
struggles.
Don’t try to push away
your difficult feelings or
force yourself to “think
positive,” which is not a
healthy coping mecha-
nism, as it denies the
reality of your current
experience. All emotions
are OK, even the tough
ones, and trying to stuff
them down and replace
them with “positive
thinking” is an impossi-
ble and unhealthy task.
MANAGE YOUR FEELINGS
The uncontrollability,
uncertainty and poten-
tially high consequences
of COVID-19 can cause
anxiety even in people
who aren’t prone to it.
Find a safe and con-
trolled way to acknowl-
edge and express your
difficult emotions, for
example by writing them
down in a journal or
letter, talking to a friend,
getting physical exer-
cise or practising yoga
or meditation. If your
symptoms are severe
and interfering with
your ability to function,
contact a mental health
professional. Above all,
think about how you
would respond to a friend
struggling in this situa-
tion, and apply that same
compassion and advice
to yourself; then turn it
towards others.
BE KIND TO YOURSELF (AND OTHERS)
MENTAL
HEALTH
HOW TO
PROTECT YOURIt is not realistic to
think you can do it
all: homeschool your
kids; work full-
time from home;
maintain a perfect
(clean, orderly)
household; and
take care of your-
self and others.
The drawbacks of
perfectionism are
well known.
Instead, try pri-
oritizing one or two
things, and let the
others slide a little.
Leave the teaching to
the teachers and focus
on parenting. Take time
out for self-care. Remind
yourself not to worry
if you let work projects
slide a little, the laundry
and dishes pile up for a
while or the kids get a
little extra screen time.
You’ll get to it all when
you can.
Focus on your
high priority items and
don’t expect too much of
yourself.
Here you need to
distinguish between
things you can control
and things you can-
not. In particular, you
are totally in control of
your response to the
situation. Accepting
the uncertainties of the
future, while at the same
time identifying areas in
your life you can control
is a good place to start.
Can you go out for
a walk in the fresh air
and sunshine? Then do
that every day. If your
kids are around more
now without school
and other activities, can
you try to involve them
in household chores
and teach them how to
cook and do laundry?
Are you able to catch
up on sleep a bit? Our
society is so chronical-
ly sleep-deprived, this
is a great opportunity
to get some needed
rest, and the benefits
are myriad.
Can you think of
ways to help others in
your neighbourhood?
Volunteer whatever
skills you have if time
permits; volunteers are
happier and may even
live longer.
It’s easy to become so-
cially isolated when we
are advised to keep away
from others, especially
for people who live alone.
Make a special effort to
keep in touch with family,
friends and colleagues
though email, FaceTime,
video conferencing and
plain old phone calls.
Make appointments with
your friends to meet for a
call just as you would for
in-person get-togethers.
Have Zoom parties and
share some food or
drinks with your friends
and catch up on a regular
basis. The health benefits
of social support are
many.
BE REALISTIC, LOWER
YOUR EXPECTATIONS
MAKE THE BEST OF THE SITUATION
KEEP PHYSICAL — NOT SOCIAL —
DISTANCE FROM OTHERS
KEEP YOUR ROUTINES
Catching up on sleep is
great, but it would be
better not to sleep until
noon every day. Keep
your schedules and rou-
tines much as they were
before, with modifications
to suit your new routine.
Have set times to work,
set times for meals,
activities and a relatively
regular bedtime. Don’t
drink much more alcohol
than usual, and cut back if
you’re having more than a
couple of drinks per day.
Pick one or two
sources of informa-
tion that you trust, such
as Health Canada or
reliable news sources. If
social media makes you
feel anxious and angry,
avoid the threat of “so-
cial contagion” and take
a break. There are many
negative side-effects of
social media consump-
tion, so consider limiting
your scrolling time to 20
minutes or so, once or
twice a day, or skip the
social media altogether.
We can learn a lot
from slowing down
and taking care of one
another. Once this
pass-
es,
take the
opportunity
to carefully con-
sider what you really
want to add back into
your life. Maybe this
slower pace isn’t such
a bad thing. Maybe
getting back to “full
speed ahead” is not the
best choice for you or
for our society. Before
diving right back in
as society begins to
reopen, we need to
mindfully contemplate
what life lessons we
can take away from
this extraordinary time.

studying in Manila. The

health related protocols,
fell ill and her condition
also worsened. The
girl’s mother, after
running from pillar to
post and not finding
any relief, approached
the Chief Minister and

Hearing the woman’s
troubles, the Chief
Minister immediately
gave directions to the
officials to start the
process to bring the
girl back from Manila.
The authorities then
drew a detailed plan on

recent health condi-
tion was sought and

Jaipur: Owing to the
horrific times labour-
ers and migrants had
to face since the lock-
down was imposed in
the nation, Chief Jus-
tice of Telangana
High Court, Justice
Raghvendra Singh
Chauhan, has issued
directions to Telan-
gana government to
provide adequate fa-
cilities for a dignified
life till the time these
workers are not fer-
ried back to their na-
tive states/homes. A
PIL had been filed re-
cently that raised con-
cernsoverthesituation
of brickkilnworkersin
the state, and thus a di-
vision bench led by the
Chief Justice Chauhan
issued the directions.
The division bench
has issued orders to
DeputyCommissioners
of Labour department
for inspection of kilns
located within their ju-
risdictional areas. Fur-
ther, the Commission-
ers have also been
directed to enquire
and find out the num-
ber of workers who
would want to return
to their native states.
Initsorder,theCJhas
also directed Principal
Secretaryof LabourDe-

lodgingof suchmigrant
workforce in suitable
places and to provide
food, water and medi-
cines, till they can be
ferriedback.The court
has gone a step fur-
ther and gave specific
direction to take extra
care of pregnant and
lactating women, chil-
dren and elderly dur-
ing their lodging and
to provide all availa-
ble medical facilities
while ensuring that
nutritious food is also
provided to them.
Moreover, the court
has also directed the
state to allow migrants
to board trains and bus-
es to reach their native
places. For this, the HC
has directed govern-
ment to connect with
otherstategovernments
and inform them of the
migrant labourers and
their travel schedule.
The court has also
asked the authorities
to employ simpler for-
mat in information

liticalobserversbelieve
that Congress could
shock the BJP as word
is that a few BJP MLAs
are in direct contact of
powerful Congress
leaders while there are
those too who have
openly applauded CM
Gehlot! One camp of
the Congress party has
‘rolled its dice’ which
couldcausemajordam-
agetotheBJP.Butthere
is a flip side to this
equation too. There are
around two dozen
MLAs whose integrity
is in question and it is
learnt that they will
vote for party’s power-
ful candidate KC Venu-
gopal. Sources reveal
that a few MLAs had
even alerted leadership
that they will not vote
for other Congress can-
didate Neeraj Dangi. A
few independent MLAs
have also raised their
dissent in unison and
after this, Congress is

Moreover, a housing
scheme for the state em-
ployees, called Chief
Minister State Employ-
eesHousingSchemewill
also be developed in
Pratap Nagar area of
Jaipur. RHB Commis-
sioner Pawan Arora in-
formed that these
schemeswillbelaunched
within a month by Chief
Minister. “In this time
of Corona pandemic,
every person dreams
of having a home of
their own. To make
this dream come true,
the Board has pre-
pared residential
schemes at reasonable
cost and according to
the needs of each sec-
tion. The CM State Em-
ployeesHousingScheme
will be launched in Sec-
tor 26 of Pratap Nagar
area. In this scheme, a
total of 674 flats will be
constructed wherein 2
BHKand3BHKflatswill
be available for Rs 10.90
lakh, Rs 15.70 lakh and
Rs 21 lakh,” Arora said.
He further informed
that RHB will launch 17
housing schemes in 11
cities. “These schemes
will be launched at Siro-
li, Vatika, Mahala, Shah-
pura, Udaipur south ex-
tension and Dewari, Su-
ratgarh, Niwai, Abu
Road, Nasirabad, Kis-
hangarh, Dungarpur

these schemes, a total of
11,250 houses will be
available for economi-
cally weaker income

middle income class A,
middle income class B
and high income group,”
the Commissioner said,
further adding, “under

payable under Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojana and
Mukhyamantri Jan
Awaas Yojana will also
be provided.”
The schemes will be
launched soon after
getting approval in the
upcoming board meet-
ing. “There was a confu-
sion regarding GST on
instalmentsinschemeto
own a house by paying
10% as down payment
and remaining on EMI.
Board has held detailed
discussions with experts
in this regard, and since
it is a fully constructed
house, GST will be nei-
ther on instalments nor
on EMI. Now these hous-
es will be available to the
public even more attrac-
tive price,” he said.

RS POLLS
here are many people
who have followed a
great routine during
the lockdown, while
there were many who
just lazed around and
ate whatever was served
to them or whatever junk they
could find. But at the end of the
day, one must always remember
that there is a limit to what the
body can take. For this, City
First tells you a few ways by
which you can detox using
drinks and food items, in order
to rejuvenate your body from all
the toxins that made your body
their home.
Some of the best detox drinks
to drive away those toxins are:
lemon-cucumber infused water,
ginger-turmeric-honey concoc-
tion, beetroot
smoothie, and
lemon-green
tea, while
the best
items to
use in
your de-
t o x
food are: avocado, broccoli, gar-
lic, ginger, watermelon, beetroot
and brown rice, among others.
City First got in touch with a
few of its readers from Jaipur,
Jodhpur and Ahmedabad, to
know about how they like to take
a break and detox their body.
Ratika Bhargava from Jaipur
said, “Summers are so cool for
detox with loads of options
around- watermelons, cucum-
ber, tomato juice, what not! Kairi
paani being my favourite, I don’t
miss eating when I’m loaded
with all these lovely mango
based smoothies and drinks. Be-
cause I eat lot of spicy food,
these drinks keep me
off any kind of spice,” while
Varsha Mehta from Jodhpur
stated, “Lemon with some gin-
ger and with warm water in it, I
love to have that in summer, as it
makes me feel fresh and ener-
getic. Full of Vitamin C, this an-
tioxidant is great for fighting
free-radicals which can have a
negative impact on the body.”
Talking to the ones in
Ahmedabad, Kirti Gupta men-
tioned, “A refreshing jug of lem-
onade is my go-to drink in the
summer. It keeps the taste buds
active and satiated. I also add
c h i a or basil seeds,
some jaljeera
powder, and
c o a r s e l y
chopped mint
leaves to add a
punch of freshness
to my drink,” while
Shruti Saraf said, “Due
to its high water con-
tent, watermelon
salad comes to the
rescue during the
scorching heat
of summer. I
just sprinkle
a little mus-
tard pow-
der over
s l i c e d
water-
melon
w h e n
serving
to en-
hance its fla-
vours. This salad is
packed with Vitamin A
and C and lends an amaz-
ing glow to the skin too.”

feels relentless,” urging Mumbai residents to
take precautionary measures in view of Cy-
clone Nisarga.
The cyclone storm is approaching the north coast of

according to the India Meteorological Department

is making its way to
Mumbai, my beloved
home city of more than 20
million people, including
my mom and brother.”
“Mumbai hasn’t expe-
rienced a serious cyclone
landfall since 1891, and at
a time when the world is
so desperate, this could be
especially devastating,”
the ‘Don’ actor added.
“This year feels relent-
less. Please, everyone,
find cover, take precau-
tions, and follow the guidelines outlines. Please stay
safe everyone, “ said Chopra as she shared a swipe up
link to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)
page that details the Do’s and Don’ts for Mumbaikars

Earlier, the IMD had stated that the severe cyclon-
ic storm is expected to impact the Maharashtra coast

These vehi- cles, purchased from the State Disaster Re- lief Fund (SDRF), will be useful in locust con- trol as well as disaster relief. An amount of Rs1.47 crore has been made available to the district collectors from SDRF with which they can hire local vehicles and water tankers includ- ing tractor mounted sprayers for locust con- trol and to make neces- sary arrangements for insecticides immedi- ately. Along with this, the recruitment process of 290 assistant agricul- tural officers and 1,900 agricultural supervi- sors in the Agriculture Department will also be completed soon. On the instructions of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, the ongo- ing locust crisis in the state was reviewed in a video conference held at CMR on Wednesday. In the video conference, Agriculture Minister Lalchand Kataria and Revenue Minister Har- ish Chaudhary said that there is no short- age of money and re- sources to control lo- custs. They stressed that a large number of locusts are breeding in African countries and their swarms are ex- pected to reach Ra- jasthan. “In this way, we have to work on district- wise strategy for which along with the efforts of Locust Warning Organ- ization and state gov- ernment, cooperation of local farmers should also be sought,” the ministers said. MoS Agriculture Bhajan Lal Jatav said that monsoon season will start soon and with this, farmers will start sowing. “If this prob- lem is not controlled on time, then the possibil- ity of damage to crops cannot be ruled out. MoS Forest and Envi- ronment Sukhram Vishnoi said that last year, “We had succeed- ed in overcoming the locust outbreak due to collective efforts. This time too, we can effec- tively control them by destroying them at night when they settle down.” Meanwhile, Chief Secretary DB Gupta said financial and hu- man resources are be- ing made available to district collectors as per the need for locust con- trol. The Agriculture Department is engaged in this challenging work with the Locust Warning Organisation. “Till now locust control has been done in about 95,000 hectare area. Co- operation with BSF is also being taken to get concrete information about the arrival of lo- custs in the border dis- tricts, said, Naresh Pal Gangwar, Principal Sec- retary Agriculture De- partment.Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot House that!

It is noteworthy that veteran leader Ahmed Patel could only win when two-party MLAs were brought under the Public Representation Act. The state will be hold- ing elections to three va- cant seats for which both Congress and BJP have fielded two candidates each. Congress will is- sue a whip to all its 107 legislators which will be binding on them. Al- though there seems to be no chance of cross-vot- ing by CLP, but nobody is in the mood to take chances. Whip typically is a tool under the Anti-Defection Law which is binding on the party members and any infringement can at- tract disqualification from the house. There are three types of whips. One line, two lines, and three lines. The last one being the most stringent and is used on crucial is- sues like debate and vot- ing on no-confidence mo- tion with the provision of disqualification of house membership if anymembergoesagainst the party whip. According to whip, the voting for Rajya Sabha is done under an open bal- lot system where every MLA votes only after showing the ballot to the authorized party agent else the vote becomes in- valid. The provision of whip originates from a court verdict to uphold constitutional traditions to stop cross-voting, curb horse-trading, and keep legislators disciplined. Congress has fielded KC Venugopal and Neeraj Dangi in the fray and the party expects votes of 13 independent MLAs apart from 2 BTP, 1 RLD, and 107 Congress MLAs. The state will be holding elections to 3 vacant seats for which both Cong & BJP have fielded 2 candidates each RS polls for three seats of Rajasthan will be held on June 19. TIGHT FIELDING HARBINGER OF HOPE The effect of western disturbance active in the state remained in 20 districts on Wednesday and there were rains with strong winds. The pre-monsoon activities have started in the state. As per the MeT Department, Rajasthan is not directly affected by the Nisarga cyclone, but the disturbance is getting moisture from it. In such a situation, there is a possibility of more rain.

  • 3. Vikash Sharma Jaipur: While corona- virus has hit the cities hard, it is rural Ra- jasthan which has done better as citizens living in towns have been more aware and alert about ongoing global pandemic, believes ad- ditional chief secre- tary (ACS) Veenu Gup- ta. In an exclusive inter- view to First India, the ACS elaborated on the steps taken by Ra- jasthan government to fight the pandemic, saying that 17 lakh peo- ple - mostly the mi- grants who returned home - had been quar- antined so far in six thousand quarantine centres . With such a large population returning post the lockdown be- ing lifted, it could have been chaos but the gov- ernment went into an overdrive mode to cre- ate awareness and edu- cate the masses about the pandemic. This is where, according to Gupta, rural Rajasthan put it’s hand up by strict adherence to guidelines. According to her, vil- lagers are quite alert about coronavirus. When movement of mi- grants began everyone was worried but excep- tional work happened in rural areas, which became possible with help of public repre- sentatives. Gupta’s experience in then health depart- ment also came in handy. She had headed the state health depart- ment when the state was facing problems with another virus, zika. Her department’s successful handling of the disease meant that she was made in-charge of the quarantine cen- tres across the state when corona spread. “It was difficult. Sometimes there were as many as 22,000 peo- ple in a quarantine cen- tre. We had to ensure that they get food and other essential sup- plies. Plus, there were people in home quaran- tine and we had to make sure that they fol- lowed it strictly. Here district administration and information tech- nology helped. We had contact details of each and every individual who was quaran- tined. We had to be strict,” Gup- ta pointed out. She also cautioned that there was still the need to stay alert as the cases in the state had not stopped. RAJASTHANJAIPUR | THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2020 03www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia l Jodhpur: A large swarm of locusts entered into the Pratap Nagar area of Jodhpur on Wednesday.

First India Bureau Jaipur: DeputyLOPRa- jendra Rathore wel- comed Modi govt’s ini- tiative of increasing the MSP of 14 main crops by 50 to 83% on recommen- dation of Commission of Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP). Rathore called CM Gehlot’s timid response to this step as expres- sion of his narrow & anti farmer mentality. He said that central govt is resolute to double farmer’s income. He called the step unprece- dented as no Congress govt in last 4 decades had ever increased MSP following the CACP rec- ommendations. Shivendra Parmar Jaipur: Housing Com- missioner Pawan Arora on Wednesday inaugu- rated the first well or- ganised sanitation sta- tion of the state at the Housing Board head- quarters. Arora said that the station has been set up to protect employees and public coming to Board office. “As per the guidelines issued by the state gov- ernment, now govern- ment offices will be opened with full capac- ity, hence the utility and utility of these sanita- tion stations increases further.

Editor: Jagdeesh Chandra, responsible for selection of news under the PRB Act NISARGA SPARES MUMBAI AND COVID PATIENTS ven as the country’s east coast is still recovering from the havoc wreaked by Cyclone Ampham, the poetic sounding Nisarga (Nature) made landfall in Mumbai on Wednesday afternoon. Although it was the worst cyclone to hit the east coast, thankfully it was not even half as destructive as Am- pham. Mercifully, it spared Mumbai, where it was expected to cause maximum damage and also Gujarat. With a wind speed of 110 kilo- metres per hour, the cyclone battered Alibag before lashing Raigad district. Mumbai, which is 100 km away from Alibag, was expe- riencing heavy rains. The airport was closed for operations till 7 pm. Bandra-Worli sea link has been shut for traffic. For Mumbaikars, however, the day was a page from a bad mon- soon which they are used to facing every year. For a state reeling under the Covid-19 pandem- ic with the highest number of cases and fatalities in the country, the approaching cyclone was like a nightmare as Mumbai waited for landfall with bated breath. With cyclone moving towards Raigad uprooting some trees and poles, moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds was predicted by the Met department. At the end of the day, Mumbai could heave a sigh of relief that the cyclone had passed without causing much damage. But the disrup- tion it caused in the State’s campaign against Covid-19 was huge. Maharashtra accounts for more than one-third of India’s total Covid-19 cases. Ways were devised to shift positive pa- tients to safer places. Maintaining social dis- tanceduringsevereweatherdisturbanceposed another big challenge but the government ap- peared to be ready for the exigency. The cyclone posed a threat to the 1000-bed open- air hospital for Covid-19 patients at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and another 200-bed hospital at Nature Park in Dharavi. The open-air hospital, the first of its kind in the country, set up by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Au- thority has a 200-bed intensive care unit as well. Earlier, MMRDA said in a statement, “The impending threat of Cyclone Nisarga is upon Mumbai. The hospital can sustain winds of up to 80-100 km per hour. However, with human lives at stake, as a precaution- ary measure, all the patients (about 150) are being shifted by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).” The government man- aged to shift the patients from the makeshift BKC hospital to hospitals in Sion and Worli on Tuesday. In the case of Dharavi hospital, the BMC said that the patients did not require shifting. Unlike Ampham in West Bengal, which rendered thou- sands homeless and made the social distancing norm impractical, Mumbai had it easy. The cyclone came and went but the pan- demic is still there. What the government forgot was a group of migrant workers stranded under an over bridge near the Lokmanya Tilak terminus in Mumbai. Re- ports said they were hungry and exposed to the cyclonic storm and the pandemic until they found a Good Samaritan. IN-DEPTH E he post-pan- demic world e c o n o m y seems likely to be a far less globalized economy, with political leaders and publics rejecting open- ness in a manner unlike anything seen since the tariff wars and competi- tive devaluations of the 1930s. And the byprod- uct will be not just slow- er growth, but a signifi- cant fall in national in- comes for all but perhaps the largest and most di- versified economies. In his prescient 2001 book The End of Globaliza- tion, the Princeton eco- nomic historian Harold James showed how an ear- lier era of global economic and financial integration collapsed under the pres- sures of unexpected events during the Great Depres- sion of the 1930s, culminat- ing in World War II. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be accelerating another withdrawal from globalization. The current retreat be- gan with Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 US presidential election, which led to tariff wars between the United States and China. The pandemic will likely have an even larger negative long- term impact on trade, partly because govern- ments increasingly rec- ognize that they need to regard public-health ca- pacity as a national-secu- rity imperative. The risk today of a de- bilitating 1930s-style over- shoot in deglobalization is massive, particularly if the US-China relationship con- tinues to fray. And it is folly to think that a chaotic, crisis-driven retreat from globalization will not in- troduce more – and vastly more serious – problems. Even the US, with its highly diversified econo- my, world-leading tech- nology, and strong natu- ral-resource base, could suffer a significant de- cline in real GDP as a result of deglobaliza- tion. For smaller econo- mies and developing countries that are una- ble to reach critical mass in many sectors and of- ten lack natural resourc- es, a breakdown in trade would reverse many dec- ades of growth. And that is before considering the long-lasting impact of social-distancing and quarantine measures. The late economist Al- berto Alesina, a towering figure in the field of politi- cal economy, argued that for a well-governed coun- try in the age of globaliza- tion, small can be beauti- ful. But today, small coun- tries that lack a close eco- nomic alliance with a large state or union face huge economic risks. True, globalization has fueled economic inequal- ities among the approxi- mately one billion people who live in advanced economies. Trade compe- tition has hammered low- wage workers in some sectors, even while mak- ing goods less expensive for everyone. Financial globalization has argua- bly had an even larger ef- fect by increasing the profits of multinational corporations and offer- ing new high-return for- eign-investment instru- ments for the wealthy, especially since 1980. To be sure, the current model of globalization needs adjusting, particu- larly by greatly strengthen- ing the social safety net in advanced economies and – to the extent possible – in emerging markets, too. But building resilience does not mean tearing down the entire system and starting over again.

Piyush Goyal @PiyushGoyal Held a meeting with stakeholders from Real Estate & Construction Industry, one of India’s mega job creating sectors and a key driver of the economy. Discussed various measures to give a boost to affordable ‘Housing for All’ and providing relief to homebuyers & developers. orona pandemic has put a pall of gloom over the human race, threatening it’s very exist- ence. The all mighty humans, armed with latest technologies, weapon systems, super com- puters having artificial intel- ligence, diagnostic tools, ad- vance medication and abun- dance of resources have never felt so helpless against a tiny virus called COVID-19. Human race has existed for millions of years and survived many such catastrophes. Just highlighting only two such pan- demics. The Bubonic plague (Black Death) in the 14th cen- tury AD reduced the world’s population by over 100 million from 475 million at that time. It brought the Mongol Empire to its knees and it cut China off from Europe for centuries. Sim- ilarly, Spanish flu shook the world I 1918-20. Almost 50 mil- lion people perished in the world. After every such catas- trophe, human race has come out stronger and more resilient to live for another day. Howev- er, the world has never been the same, as before. Turbulent times like present one invariably change the exist- ing geo-strategic trends. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed similar fury of nature.Theworldwillsooneror latergetoverthisPandemic,the geo political realignment that it will cause, will have much larg- er ramifications and will result into a new world order that will emerge post corona times. The key indicators of the present world order, in disar- ray, are as follows- z UNO - The UNO being the largest international forum, could have played a key role in containing the pandemic through its extensive humani- tarian aid network but unfortu- nately it was found wanting. z USA no longer the only super power - Corona crisis seri- ously diminishes America’s credibility, globally. The loss of America’s superpower status will accentuate the transition to a Multi-polar World, post Corona. z China’s image takes a beat- ing - China is being portrayed as villain instrumental in spread of corona virus. The world has started social dis- tancing itself from China. z Europe no longer in relevance - In a cruel twist of fate, the Europe is the hardest hit by corona virus. The failure to mobilize a pan-European re- sponse to the has dealt a blow to the EU. z Globalisation redefined - At a general level, more and more people are blaming globaliza- tion. All countries are busy fighting the corona within own resources since, Globalization has taken a back seat. A new edition of globalization will emerge in the post corona era. z Non-reliance on regional alliances - The regional alli- ances are by and large defunct or cosmetic in joint battles against corona. All the bon- homie of jointness soon got on backburner and each country is fighting their own battle. But one thing is certainly predictable that the history of COVID-19 and new geopolitics will be scripted by the Victors on the global level and they will lead the world in the emerging New World Order. Though it’s very difficult to crystal gaze the post corona world, however, certain pointers are as follows:- z The concept of superpowers will be over for some time and a multipolar diffused world order will emerge. USA and China dominance in world af- fairs will recede. z A new template of globalization based on fairness, equality and humanity will emerge. z COVID-19 will undermine the basic tenets of global manufac- turing. Companies will now re- think and shrink the multistep, multi-country supply chains. z The pandemic will strengthen the nationalism. The nations will become more and more self-reliant (atmanirbhar). Lo- cal will be preferred. z International travel for tourism, business, cultural exchanges, pilgrimages, education, knowl- edge sharing and geopolitics will take a major beating. z Large scale migrations across national frontiers and intra state will also reduce consider- ably. z These trends may trigger realignments where blocks of interdependency. Therefore, need based mutually interde- pendent regional alliance may come up. z Working norms for the indus- try may change. Work from home and digital linking will be predominant. This will reduce pressure on metro towns. z Social distancing will be the new norm with events and ceremonies confined to near and dears. Eating out will have to redefine itself. z Health and Hygiene will be the primary focus of nation states and considerable expenditure will be incurred to strengthen the same. z Economic recession will be a stark reality. Unemployment, poverty and social unrest over limited resources will follow. Opportunities don’t happen, you have to create them. The world perceives that China is responsible for this global trag- edy of immeasurable propor- tions. After the virus spread across the globe, the Chinese now face ‘social distancing’ by the international community. Fromageopoliticalperspective, this crisis has given India an op- portunity to position itself as an alternative manufacturing destination for global compa- nies after the corona times. To- day, we are in a position to nego- tiate as equal partners with the US, EU or Japan. India will play a pivotal role in the Emerging World Order with strong leader- ship and mature democratic credentials highlighted during Corona crisis, when high and mighty struggled.

In a tweet, Rahul Gandhi said, “Can Gov- ernment of India please confirm that no Chi- nese soldiers have en- tered India?” He also attached a news report that said that India-Chi- na will hold top-level military meeting on June 6 in a bid to re- solve the troop confron- tation in eastern Ladakh, quoting De- fence Minister Rajnath Singh, where he also admitted that Chinese soldiers were present in a sizeable number in the high altitude. Earlier, Rahul Gan- dhi slammed Centre on May 29 & during his press conference in last week of May. In a tweet on May 29, Gandhi said, “The government’s si- lence about the border situation with China is fuelling massive specu- lation and uncertainty at a time of crisis.

The issue of Ladakh and China is a live issue. Transparency is re- quired,” he said.

For the findings, published in The American Journal of Pathology, researchers from the Houston Methodist Hospital in the US, began clinical trials to transfuse plasma from recovered Covid-19 patients into critically ill patients on March 28. Results of the trial showed that 19 out of 25 pa- tients (76 %) improved with the treatment and 11 were discharged from the hospital. There were no serious adverse side effects caused by the plasma transfusion. —Agencies Plasma therapy effective for severe patients: Study New Delhi: The Indian Council of Medical Re- search (ICMR) on Wednesday said that a total 1,37,158 samples were tested in the last 24 hours.

While declining to en- tertain the plea, the Supreme Court said the petition could be considered as a repre- sentation to the gov- ernment. A bench headed by CJI and comprising Justices A S Bopanna and Hrishikesh Roy asked the petitioner’s counsel, “Why have you come here? India is already called Bharat in the Constitution.” Advocate Ashwin Vaish, appearing for the Delhi-based peti- tioner, argued that the plea seeked amend- ment to Article 1 of the Constitution. Towhich, the CJI replied, “We can’t do that.” He reiterated that In- dia is already called Bharat in the Constitu- tion. Vaish argued that the English name India did not represent the culture and tradition of the country; instead, its origin is Greek, and it is derived from the word ‘Indica’. Vaish said that there are many examples where ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ was used, urged top court to allow him to make a representa- tion before appropriate ministries. —ANI ‘India already called ‘Bharat’ in Statute’ New Delhi: Supreme Court sought reply from journalist Upen- dra Rai, accused in a money laundering case related to alleged extor- tion and dubious finan- cial transactions, on a plea of Enforcement Directorate challeng- ing grant of bail to him.

Commending the work of Civil Aviation Ministry, Pradhan said he received a represen- tation from Odia people living abroad request- ing to be brought back to Bhubaneswar. Since they are in good numbers in these countries, direct flights may be arranged from cities such as Dubai, Doha, Dammam, Mus- cat, Bahrain, Colombo and London to Bhu- baneswar, which would also make commercial sense for the airlines, Pradhan said in his let- ters. Inspite of being in Delhi, 1700 km away from Bhubaneswar, Pradhan has gone pro- active in highlighting and taking up Odisha related issues with PM & Home Minister.

  • 8. TALKING POINTJAIPUR | THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2020 07www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia A PANDEMIC IS A PERFECT “ANXIETY STEW.” IT HAS ALL THE INGREDIENTS THAT GO INTO CAUSING WORRY EVEN IN PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT TYPICALLY ANXIETY-PRONE. THESE INCLUDE: UNCONTROLLABILITY, UNCERTAINTY AND HIGH CONSEQUENCE H alf of Canadi- ans reported a worsening of their mental health due to the COVID-19 pandemic in an April poll. In Alberta, a sim- ilar government poll found 74 per cent of Albertans felt the pan- demic had negatively affected their mental health. These stats are not surprising, because a pandemic is a perfect “anxiety stew.” It has all the ingredients that go into causing worry even in people who are not typically anxiety-prone. These include: uncontrolla- bility, uncertainty and high conse- quence. Besides following public health guide- lines, there is little any one individual can do to control the spread of the virus or the magnitude of the pandemic. How this will unfold locally and around the world is highly uncertain, and there is no shortage of speculation (much of it not based on evi- dence). Humans dis- like uncertainty and tend to “fill-in-the- blanks” in situations like this, which often results in highly im- probable worst-case scenarios. Finally, the conse- quences of not getting it right are high: you or family members contracting the virus, potential sickness and untold deaths world- wide. Add to this job loss and financial strain, social isolation and loneliness, close con- tact that may lead to arguments or abuse, stress of working from home while be- ing responsible for childcare and home- schooling, and worry- ing about far away or elderly family mem- bers. It is no wonder there are reports of escalating mental health problems. In these circumstances we need to look out for one another and do what we can to ease the burden. It’s a tough situa- tion, but there are ac- tions individuals can take to cope with the circumstances and ease the suffering. Living through this pandemic is tough. Many of us have not been in this situation before. We have no rules or experience or role models to turn to. We are making things up as we go along. You may be feeling lost, confused, anxious and worried. So is everyone else. These are all totally normal emotions. Allow yourself these feelings, have compassion and patience for your own struggles. Don’t try to push away your difficult feelings or force yourself to “think positive,” which is not a healthy coping mecha- nism, as it denies the reality of your current experience. All emotions are OK, even the tough ones, and trying to stuff them down and replace them with “positive thinking” is an impossi- ble and unhealthy task. MANAGE YOUR FEELINGS The uncontrollability, uncertainty and poten- tially high consequences of COVID-19 can cause anxiety even in people who aren’t prone to it. Find a safe and con- trolled way to acknowl- edge and express your difficult emotions, for example by writing them down in a journal or letter, talking to a friend, getting physical exer- cise or practising yoga or meditation. If your symptoms are severe and interfering with your ability to function, contact a mental health professional. Above all, think about how you would respond to a friend struggling in this situa- tion, and apply that same compassion and advice to yourself; then turn it towards others. BE KIND TO YOURSELF (AND OTHERS) MENTAL HEALTH HOW TO PROTECT YOURIt is not realistic to think you can do it all: homeschool your kids; work full- time from home; maintain a perfect (clean, orderly) household; and take care of your- self and others. The drawbacks of perfectionism are well known. Instead, try pri- oritizing one or two things, and let the others slide a little. Leave the teaching to the teachers and focus on parenting. Take time out for self-care. Remind yourself not to worry if you let work projects slide a little, the laundry and dishes pile up for a while or the kids get a little extra screen time. You’ll get to it all when you can. Focus on your high priority items and don’t expect too much of yourself. Here you need to distinguish between things you can control and things you can- not. In particular, you are totally in control of your response to the situation. Accepting the uncertainties of the future, while at the same time identifying areas in your life you can control is a good place to start. Can you go out for a walk in the fresh air and sunshine? Then do that every day. If your kids are around more now without school and other activities, can you try to involve them in household chores and teach them how to cook and do laundry? Are you able to catch up on sleep a bit? Our society is so chronical- ly sleep-deprived, this is a great opportunity to get some needed rest, and the benefits are myriad. Can you think of ways to help others in your neighbourhood? Volunteer whatever skills you have if time permits; volunteers are happier and may even live longer. It’s easy to become so- cially isolated when we are advised to keep away from others, especially for people who live alone. Make a special effort to keep in touch with family, friends and colleagues though email, FaceTime, video conferencing and plain old phone calls. Make appointments with your friends to meet for a call just as you would for in-person get-togethers. Have Zoom parties and share some food or drinks with your friends and catch up on a regular basis. The health benefits of social support are many. BE REALISTIC, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS MAKE THE BEST OF THE SITUATION KEEP PHYSICAL — NOT SOCIAL — DISTANCE FROM OTHERS KEEP YOUR ROUTINES Catching up on sleep is great, but it would be better not to sleep until noon every day. Keep your schedules and rou- tines much as they were before, with modifications to suit your new routine. Have set times to work, set times for meals, activities and a relatively regular bedtime. Don’t drink much more alcohol than usual, and cut back if you’re having more than a couple of drinks per day. Pick one or two sources of informa- tion that you trust, such as Health Canada or reliable news sources. If social media makes you feel anxious and angry, avoid the threat of “so- cial contagion” and take a break. There are many negative side-effects of social media consump- tion, so consider limiting your scrolling time to 20 minutes or so, once or twice a day, or skip the social media altogether. We can learn a lot from slowing down and taking care of one another. Once this pass- es, take the opportunity to carefully con- sider what you really want to add back into your life. Maybe this slower pace isn’t such a bad thing. Maybe getting back to “full speed ahead” is not the best choice for you or for our society. Before diving right back in as society begins to reopen, we need to mindfully contemplate what life lessons we can take away from this extraordinary time.

  • 10. here are many people who have followed a great routine during the lockdown, while there were many who just lazed around and ate whatever was served to them or whatever junk they could find. But at the end of the day, one must always remember that there is a limit to what the body can take. For this, City First tells you a few ways by which you can detox using drinks and food items, in order to rejuvenate your body from all the toxins that made your body their home. Some of the best detox drinks to drive away those toxins are: lemon-cucumber infused water, ginger-turmeric-honey concoc- tion, beetroot smoothie, and lemon-green tea, while the best items to use in your de- t o x food are: avocado, broccoli, gar- lic, ginger, watermelon, beetroot and brown rice, among others. City First got in touch with a few of its readers from Jaipur, Jodhpur and Ahmedabad, to know about how they like to take a break and detox their body. Ratika Bhargava from Jaipur said, “Summers are so cool for detox with loads of options around- watermelons, cucum- ber, tomato juice, what not! Kairi paani being my favourite, I don’t miss eating when I’m loaded with all these lovely mango based smoothies and drinks. Be- cause I eat lot of spicy food, these drinks keep me off any kind of spice,” while Varsha Mehta from Jodhpur stated, “Lemon with some gin- ger and with warm water in it, I love to have that in summer, as it makes me feel fresh and ener- getic. Full of Vitamin C, this an- tioxidant is great for fighting free-radicals which can have a negative impact on the body.” Talking to the ones in Ahmedabad, Kirti Gupta men- tioned, “A refreshing jug of lem- onade is my go-to drink in the summer. It keeps the taste buds active and satiated. I also add c h i a or basil seeds, some jaljeera powder, and c o a r s e l y chopped mint leaves to add a punch of freshness to my drink,” while Shruti Saraf said, “Due to its high water con- tent, watermelon salad comes to the rescue during the scorching heat of summer. I just sprinkle a little mus- tard pow- der over s l i c e d water- melon w h e n serving to en- hance its fla- vours. This salad is packed with Vitamin A and C and lends an amaz- ing glow to the skin too.” JAIPUR, THURSDAY JUNE 4, 2020 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia 09 RejuvenateRefresh yourself this summer and opt for a detox once in a while, not just to lose weight, but to keep yourself energized too!
