    According to news reports , Indian brave army reportedly foiled on 20 January 2021 bid by Chinese army to intrude into Indian territory in Naku La -Sikkim. This region is understood to be in proximity to Bhutan. The incident was , however , resolved at local commander level. In this context , it is apt to refer readers to the predictive alert of this Vedic astrology writer in article as follows.
    “ Major worrisome potential of concerns during 10 January to 13 February in soon coming year 2021 for vulnerable world and India as well , calling for more care and appropriate strategy”.
    The said article was published at english.nirpakhawaaz.in last year 2020 on 26 November carrying predictive alerts for India as well for more care and appropriate strategy covering certain specified important aspects.
    At ( B ). ( 2 ). Of the said article , it was said :-
    “ China’s likely moves in Bhutan may be watched with care during the period from 10 January to 13 February 2021”. And the predictive alert on 26 November 2020 had carried this also :-
    “( C ). India is offered the following tips for closer attention , more care and appropriate strategy during about 10 January to 13 February 2021 :-
    ( 1 )…………………. While the need to be alert for more care and appropriate strategy continues to exist during the entire period from about 10 January to 13 February in 2021 , the period from 14 to 17 January and 21 , 26 to 28 January , 3 and 4 February needs particular attention.
    …………………………………….
    ( 9 ). More care may be called for while plying on road-rail-air as major accidents look to be trending.
    ( 10 ). Earthquake jolts in the northern India involving Delhi-Jammu-HP-Gujarat are likely during the 10 Ja nuary to 13 February in 2021”.
    A woeful news has come on 25 January 2021 from Kathua district in Jammu region of J&K. An Indian Dhruv helicopter crash-landed at Lakhanpur area near Kathua in Jammu region. One pilot is reported to have died while the other pilot is in critical condition in hospital. Prayers of this writer are for peace to the departed soul and early recovery for pilot in hospital.
    It may be observed that Jammu region has been in news during the identified period and closer to dates even for more than one woeful news reports spawning from two incidents of earthquake , two separate tunnels in International Border and helicopter crash.
    It seems the predictive alerts for more care and appropriate strategy have been meaningful.
