The Delhi minister has been arrested in connection with a money laundering probe conducted by the ED, following the registration of a 2017 disproportionate assets case by CBI.
Delhi Health Minister Jain said the city is likely to see around 13,000 cases today and informed that daily hospital admissions have not increased for one week.
Jain told reporters that Delhi is expected to register 17,000 cases Sunday. He added, restrictions by the govt has impacted the spread of Covid and have plateaued hospital admissions.
Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said a Covid war room has been activated to maintain data on patients, oxygen, and hospitalisation, adding that testing has also been increased.
Delhi Health Minister Jain also said Centre has not yet asked for data on deaths due to shortage of oxygen and that a new sero survey will be undertaken in the national capital soon.
The AAP minister also directed officials to ensure that the GPS tracking system fitted in the Delhi Jal Board's water tankers gets activated immediately.
The protest came a day after AAP workers allegedly cut water supply to Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta's house to protest against the Haryana govt for not providing Delhi its water share.
Delhi Health Minister Jain also informed that about one-third of ICU beds are vacant and urged Centre to augment the supply of injections for treatment of black fungus infection.
In a tweet, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal expressed condolences to Satyendra Jain's family and also praised the Health Minister for working tirelessly round the clock.
Satyendar Jain had made the request last June too, and reiterated it in a meeting chaired by Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan amid Covid surge across India.
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?
