Govt scared of discussions, says Rahul Gandhi on passage of farm laws repeal bill Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the Union government was scared of holding any discussion. His statement came in the wake of the government passing a bill to repeal the three farm laws in both houses of Parliament within moments of tabling the same on the first day of the winter session. The fact is that the Central government could not face the strength of the Indian people represented by farmers in this case. The upcoming state elections must have also played on their mind,” he further said while speaking about the Narendra Modi-led government’s move on the farm laws.

Agency News:New Delhi The heavily mutated Omicron coronavirus variant is likely to spread internationally and poses a very high risk of infection surges that could have “severe consequences” in some places, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday. No Omicron-linked deaths had yet been reported, though further research was needed to assess its potential to escape protection against immunity induced by vaccines and previous infections, it added. In anticipation of increased case numbers as the variant, first
reported last week, spreads, the U.N. agency urged its 194 member states to accelerate vaccination of high-priority groups and ensure plans were in place to maintain health services. “Omicron has an unprecedented number of spike mutations, some of which are concerning for their potential impact on the trajectory of the pandemic,” the WHO said. “The overall global risk related to the new variant … is assessed as very high.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, sounded the alarm at the start of an assembly of health ministers that is expected to launch negotiations
on an international agreement on preventing future pandemics. The emergence of the highly mutated Omicron variant underlines just how perilous and precarious our situation is,” Tedros said. “Omicron demonstrates just why th world needs a new accord on pandemics: our current system disincentivizes countries from alerting others to threats that will inevitably land on their shores.” The new global deal, expected by May 2024, would cover issues such as sharing of data and genome sequences of emerging viruses, and of any potential vaccines derived from research.

It may be a mere coincidence that the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) delegation at the United Nation’s Climate Summit in Glasgow, agreed to work more closely with the delegation from the United States (US), the two largest polluters of the world during the climate talks on November 11, November 2021. On the same day China’s online technology companies reported a huge business turnover in the domestic market for ‘singles day’ sales. The same afternoon, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee (CC) concluded its 6th Plenary session in Beijing, elevating Xi Jinping as the ‘core’ leader of the Party, which is likely to assure an extension of his term in next year’s Party Congress.

The ban on the entry of trucks, barring those engaged in essential services, will continue till December 7, while CNG and electric trucks will be allowed to enter Delhi, Rai said after a review meeting with officials of departments concerned. “Experts have said low temperature and low wind speed have led to stagnant conditions and that Delhi’s air quality is likely to remain very poor in coming days. The situation can improve if it rains, as predicted by the India Meteorological Department,” the minister said. “Considering the situation, we have decided to extend the ban on construction and demolition activities in

Rai said the government’s ‘Red Light On, Gaadi Off’ campaign to curb vehicular pollution is being extended till December 18. The Delhi government had on Thursday re-imposed the ban on construction and demolition activities following the Supreme Court order in this regard. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said the workers affected by the ban on construction activities in the national capital will be provided a financial assistance of Rs 5,000 each and his government will also compensate them for the loss of minimum wages.
Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad Around 1,500 resident doctors of various medical colleges in Gujarat went on a day-long strike on Monday to protest against postponement of the NEET-PG counselling, claiming the delay in admission caused an acute shortage of doctors which increased the workload on junior doctors. Besides, hundreds of professors and lecturers of various government and Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS)-run medical colleges also held protests across the state over their long pending demands, including payment of arrears as per the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. The Centre recently put on hold the counselling for the
NEET-PG 2021 until January next year over some issues and also informed about it to the Supreme Court. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET-PG) courses is conducted for fields like the Master of Surgery, and Doctor of Medicine. Counselling is part of the admission process. “Normally, post-graduates are admitted in May. Now, due to the postponement of counselling, the new batch of PG students will arrive in March next year. Thus, instead of three batches, resident doctors of only two batches are attending all the patients for the last one year. This has increased our workload,” a protesting doctor from Surat said. Another medical student suggested that the government think of employing outside doctors.

cape Omicron Threat
Though the third wave of COVID-19 in India is delayed and experts say its severity would be much reduced compared to the first and second, if at all it strikes, we cannot afford any slackness in guarding ourselves. Scientists have just discovered a new more infectious and virulent variant in South Africa which they have named as ‘Omicron’, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has put countries across the world on alert. Omicron has crossed the boundary of South Africa to Botswana, Belgium and Israel, and we will know more when findings from other less transparent countries are disclosed. Though we do not know the exact level of threat Omicron presents right now, there is a fear that the key (32 mutations on its spike protein) it uses to unlock human body’s cells may render antibodies from previous infections or vaccinations too weak to counter the progress of this new variant. The interaction of this variant with other aspects of the immune system, such as T-cells, or its severity on health or even its impact on our present course of treatments, is under investigations, the findings of which would be known in the coming weeks. Omicron was first reported to WHO on November 24, 2021 from South Africa, where the epidemiological situation has been characterized by three distinct peaks in reported cases, the latest of which was predominantly the Delta variant. In recent weeks, infections have increased steeply, coinciding with the detection of Omicron, the first known confirmed infection was from a specimen collected on November 9. The Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV -2 Virus Evolution (TAG-VE) was convened on November 26 for further assessment. The preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of infection with emergence of the new variant as compared to other strains, such as Delta that had ravaged India during the second wave of the pandemic. Moreover, the peaks of Omicron have seemingly something to do with the Delta variant, and it should be a major concern for India at a time when almost all sectors of the economy are opening, and people have just begun enjoying an early return of normalcy. Therefore, India needs to guard against Omicron, and take action now rather wait for further details, more than that is already known. Though the current PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant, several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected (called S gene dropout or S gene target failure) and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmations. Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges of infection, suggesting Omicron having growth advantage, the WHO has said. Currently the number of cases in South Africa is increasing fast in almost all provinces. Therefore, countries across the world have been asked to enhance surveillance and genome sequencing efforts to better understand Omicron, which has largely affected young people with low vaccination rate. Information about Omicron is, however, limited at present, as the WHO’s COVID-19 technical lead, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, has said. Yet, we do know this variant has a large number of mutations, and the concern is that when you have so many mutations it can have an impact on how the virus behaves, she added. It will take a few weeks for us to understand what impact this variant has, since researchers are currently trying to determine where the mutations are and what they potentially mean for diagnostics, therapeutics, an vaccines. In the meantime, the WHO has urged all countries to adopt a risk-based and scientific approach to travel bans linked to micron. This advisory has come after Britain, France, and Israel had already cancelled direct flights from South Africa and surrounding nations. There are two levels of advisories from WHO – first for individuals, and second for the countries. Individuals are reminded to take measures to reduce their risk of COVID-19, including proven public health and social measures such as wearing well-fitting masks, hand hygiene, physical distancing, improving ventilation of indoor spaces, avoiding crowded spaces, and getting vaccinated. Individuals must make sure - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara to take steps to reduce.

Rear-end collisions account for around 40 per cent of fatal accidents on highway stretches, with driver “sleepiness and fatigue” behind many of these crashes, according to an audit initiated by the government to bring down fatalities on national highways. The study — a pilot audit of data on four highway stretches in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra totalling 557 km one way — also found several engineering defects such as gaps in medians, missing crash barriers, concrete structures kept along the road etc, all of which added to accidents and resultant
fatalities. In the Agra-Etawah stretch, for instance, 7,500 such engineering faults were identified. The other three corridors that were audited are Etawah-Chakeri in UP, and Pune-Satara and Satara-Kagal in Maharashtra The four audited stretches had witnessed over 6,500 accidents over the past three years, of which over 1,600 were serious and fatal ones. The auditors, NGO SaveLife Foundation, went through medical records of trauma care and data by highway concessionaires and found that fatigue, especially among drivers of commercial vehicles, led to them ramming into stationary vehicles or slow-moving.

Isha has always balanced her movie choices between Bollywood and the south Indian film industry. Hence it comes as no surprise that she is continuing that even now. We caught up with her for an exclusive conversation. Yes. I share an excellent rapport with Ramu. I did get the “Khallas” tag for doing a song number in his film. Everybody changes, but your creativity never dies. It’s a web series presented by Ramu, titled, Kadappa. It is based on a very ultra-violent region in the South. It’s a true-life story that occurred during NTR’s time. My character is a North Indian who is posted out there and speaks Hindi. You work in Hindi and South Indian cinema; which one would you choose over the other if the dates of your schedules ever clashed It depends on the script and the role, simple. I will unhesitatingly decide to take up the role where the story is intriguing and above all my character is strong be it any language then.

Open Letter By Simple Kaul from Sony SAB’s Ziddi Dil - Maane Na
In an actor’s career, we don many hats, but rarely do we come across characters that leave us shaken to the core. Not because it lets you explore more as an artist, but it wakes you up to a reality, you knew little about. This is exactly what hit me when I got to portray Koel in Ziddi Dil Maane Na, a character subjected to domestic violenceand an agonizing past that continues to haunt her and her little son. Reprising Koel, I realized how home has a completely different meaning for many women across
the globe and how big a menace is domestic abuse.I wasn’t oblivious to this peril before. The alarming number of cases for domestic abuse in our country startled and shocked me as well. But what my character made me aware of, is the intensity of the problem, its relevance amongst majority of women and how as a society, we all have our bit to do to cause change. You, me, and everyone! So, today, on International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, I choose courage to talk about the grave issue.
