On Sunday morning, a popular BJP leader, Ranjith Sreenivasan, state secretary of the OBC Morcha was killed after attackers barged into his residence at Alappuzha. His wife and mother were at the residence at the time of the killing of the advocate.
An official of the Meteorological Department (MeT) said the minimum temperature was minus 6.0 in Srinagar on Sunday while it was minus 8.3 in Pahalgam and minus 8.5 in Gulmarg.
On a positive note, a total of 7,469 people were cured and discharged in the past one day, taking the overall recovery count to 3,41,78,940.
State party President Swatantra Dev Singh said that BJP National President J.P. Nadda will launch the yatra from Ambedkar Nagar, the birthplace of Hindu king Maharaja Suheldev Rajbhar and Ram Manohar Lohia who initiated the Ramayana mela.
State Health Minister K Sudhakar said that two cluster outbreaks of Covid-19 were reported from two educational institutions in Dakshina Kannada on Saturday. Fourteen Covid cases were found in the first cluster, of which four have tested positive for Omicron.
Omicron is a highly divergent variant with a high number of mutations, including 26-32 in the spike protein, some of which are concerning and may be associated with immune escape potential and higher transmissibility.
The government has notified Sir Ganga Ram City Hospital, Max Saket, Fortis Vasant Kunj and Batra Hospital Tughlakabad for the treatment of Omicron on payment basis with immediate effect. With addition of these four private hospitals, now the new Covid variant Omicron will be treated in total five hospitals in Delhi.
With a steady rise in the new Covid cases amid the Omicron variant threat, the total infection tally has climbed to 14,42,090. However, the national capital has not reported any Covid related death in the last 10 days, and the death toll stands at 25,100.
Thus, it would be better if the Indian media takes a more responsible approach towards sensitive issues, which might create unwanted controversies and an atmosphere of hate in the country.
In the Narendra Modi regime, this flowed from the top and that is why amid the unprecedented challenge of the pandemic, healthcare management, vaccination and economic revival could be met with promptness and efficacy.
