BJP leaders who attended Sunday’s National Executive meet say PM Modi’s message was rooted in concern & caution, as he saw BJP organisation become complacent during 2nd Covid wave.
Over 28 days, ThePrint's Jyoti Yadav travelled across eight UP districts recording the fallout of the second Covid wave. Here are some moments from the journey.
New variants like Delta, which are more transmissible and have been shown to evade protections in some cases, are moving the bar for herd immunity near impossibly high levels.
The official data also showed that the Delta variant has been found in 1,689 and the Alpha variant has been detected in 947 of the 5,752 samples from Delhi processed so far.
The study, whose authors include former chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian, has been published by US-based think tank Center for Global Development.
Describing the pictures as 'frightening', the govt officials cautioned that not following Covid-appropriate behaviour will nullify the gains made in the management of the pandemic.
Proposal to set up expert medical panel to look into oxygen shortage during 2nd Covid wave is rejected by Delhi L-G, opposition says Kejriwal govt and L-G 'playing football' over the matter.
Addressing a press conference on the pandemic situation, an official said 71 districts reported Covid case positivity rate of more than 10% in the week from 23-29 June.
Administration of Pimpri-Chinchwad last month started door-to-door vaccinations for those with mobility issues and has already administered doses to about a 100 such people.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
