The Indian government is reviewing around 50 investment proposals involving Chinese companies under a new screening policy, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Under new rules announced by India in April, all investments by entities based in neighbouring countries need to be approved by the Indian government, whether for new or additional funding. China is the biggest of these investors and the rules drew criticism from Chinese investors and Beijing, which called the policy discriminatory.

The new investment rules were aimed at curbing opportunistic takeovers during the coronavirus outbreak. However, industry executives say a deterioration in bilateral relations since a clash along the countries` contested border last month, in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, could further delay approvals.

"Various clearances are required. We are being a bit more cautious as one would imagine," said a senior Indian government official in New Delhi, when asked about the impact on investment applications since the border clash. 
India`s industries department under the commerce ministry, which drafted the new policy, did not respond to a request for comment.

The sources declined to name the companies whose investments are pending approvals, due to confidentiality concerns.

The official, and two other sources, said about 40-50 applications involving funding from Chinese investors have been filed since the rule change and are currently under review.

One of the sources said that multiple Indian government agencies, including the Indian consulates in China, have been communicating with investors and their representatives to seek clarifications on the proposals.

Alok Sonker, a partner at Indian law firm Krishnamurthy &amp; Co, said at least 10 Chinese clients had sought his advice in recent weeks for investing in India, but were waiting for more clarity on the policy outlook in India.

"Uncertainty in timelines for the investment approval is dissuading parties, both Indian and Chinese, from proceeding with business as usual," Sonker said.

Last week India banned 59, mostly Chinese, mobile apps including Bytedance`s TikTok and Tencent`s &lt;0700.HK&gt; WeChat, in its strongest move yet targeting China in the online space since the border crisis erupted last month. The move has potentially dented big Chinese businesses` expansion plans for the South Asian market.

Chinese companies` existing and planned investments in India stand at more than $26 billion, research group Brookings said in March.

A Pakistani court on Monday reserved the judgment on the admissibility of petitions against the construction of a Hindu temple in national capital Islamabad.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), a ruling ally of the Imran Khan government, has opposed the construction of the Krishna temple, asking its coalition partner to scrap the project as it is "against the spirit of Islam".

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) last week stopped the construction of the boundary wall on the plot meant for the temple citing legal reasons.

The Islamabad High Court case was informed that the government has referred the matter to the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII).

As per plans, the Krishna temple is supposed to come up in a 20,000 sq ft plot in the capital's H-9 administrative division. The groundbreaking ceremony for the temple was performed recently by Parliamentary Secretary on Human Rights Lal Chand Malhi.

The case was heard by Justice Amir Farooq.

The CDA, the civic body for development of Islamabad, told the court that the construction of the temple was stopped as its detailed construction plan and design was not submitted.

According to the CDA urban planning director, an application was received from the Hindu community for land to set up a temple, cremation ground and community centre and the work on the application was started in 2016.

Finally, the plot measuring about half of an acre was allotted in 2017 to the Hindu community in Sector H-9 area of Islamabad after due deliberation and consultations with various departments.

The plot was handed over to the Hindu Panchayat in 2018.

Deputy Attorney-General Raja Khalid Mehmood appearing on behalf of the government said the case against the temple was sending a negative message to the world about Pakistan.

He also rejected claims by the petitioners that the government paid Rs 10 crore for the construction of the temple. 
After hearing the arguments, Justice Farooq reserved the judgment till further order.

Attendance at synagogues was also capped at 19 worshippers, and buses would be allowed to carry only up to 20 passengers, the statement said.

The sudden increase in the coronavirus cases is believed to be a result of locals flouting the social distancing rules and not wearing face masks outdoors. The local government is urging people to not step out until it is important, and to maintain social distance and wear face masks at all times when outdoors.

Enforcing a fake news law in the run up to a national election, authorities in Singapore have ordered that online references to some comments made by opposition figures on key issues must carry a warning that the content contains false information.

Rights groups have long-warned that the law, which came into effect last year and has repeatedly been directed at opposition figures, may be used to silence criticism of the government ahead of the July 10 vote.

Since campaigning began on July 1, opposition candidates have been taken to task under the law over comments made on three issues; government spending for foreign students, plans to grow the city-state`s 5.7 million population to 10 million, and government advisories that discouraged COVID-19 testing for foreign workers.

Concerns about immigration and jobs have dominated discussion during the campaigning as the city-state faces its deepest ever recession due to the coronavirus pandemic.

As yet, no lawmakers from the ruling People's Action Party - which has governed since independence in 1965 - have been served correction orders.

The government has denied suggestions that the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) could be used to stifle opposition, and says the law does not curb legitimate criticism or restrict free speech. The POFMA office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Government ministers usually have the power to exercise the law, but during the election period this responsibility has been handed to senior civil servants.

Under the law, authorities can order political parties, news outlets and social media users to carry warnings that their pages or posts contain false statements, and to include links to a government fact-checking website.

The Singapore Democratic Party, one of the opposition parties that has fallen foul of the law, said in a post that carried the warning that it disputed the "correction" but was bound to comply and would appeal.

Rights groups and opposition parties have criticised the government for calling the election while Singapore was still trying to stamp out COVID-19 infections, though most cases have been in migrant worker dormitories.

The government says it needs a fresh mandate to tackle the economic and social challenges ahead.

Scientists have also found out that immunity can be very short lived in the new coronavirus, as opposed to what is commonly believed by most.&nbsp;"Immunity can be incomplete, it can be transitory, it can last for just a short time and then disappear," said Dr Raquel Yotti, director of Spain`s Carlos III Health Institute, which co-led the study.

Talking at a press conference, the scientists have urged Spaniards to exercise caution and not relax. She has warned people that the novel coronavirus can come back and affect the population if proper caution is not exercised.

"We can't relax, we must keep protecting ourselves and protecting others," she said.

Spain was under a complete lockdown for almost three months. The country reopened as the death rate fell down. However, experts are not happy with the way the government has handled the pandemic, and are urging locals to take care of themselves to avert a possible second and worse wave of coronavirus.

If you are suffering from severe diarrhoea, it may not be just a bad stomach. Doctors in India have added few more symptoms of coronavirus, that were being ignored as upset stomach or food poisoning.

Doctors from&nbsp;Chest and King Koti hospitals in Hyderabad have issued a medical report through local media networks that states that&nbsp;severe diarrhoea, headache and vomiting are also now symptoms of coronavirus in India. These symptoms are usually ignored and labelled as chaneg in season or food poisoning.

The symptoms have now been added to the list as the doctors believe that the novel coronavirus is changing its genomic structure according to the season to ensure its survival.

The patients are currently being treated only after they show the common known symptoms such as cough, fever and breathlessness. However, there have been few patients who had symptoms of diarrhoea or headache, but were later tested positive for coronavirus.

The lack of testing in such cases causes delays. The news report said that 30 deaths out of 67 reported cases&nbsp;at the hospital from June 20 to June 30 happened due to the delay in treatment as the patients earlier showed symptoms other than the regular symptoms.&nbsp;Therefore, the doctors have announced that if someone is suffering from diarrhoea, vomiting and headache, they too should get tested for coronavirus.

The doctors believe the virus is first attacking the gastro-intestinal track now, instead of the lungs. "These cases are presented as caused due to food-poisoning and seasonal change leading to stomach upset. But it is the virus which is attacking gastro-intestinal track first instead of lungs. It is presented in the form of severe diarrhoea and vomiting causing dehydration. This, in turn, leads to weakness, lower oxygen level, low BP, low sugar and sudden collapse," the report read.
