Gone too soon: PM Modi and other politicians mourn Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death

<p>A 46-year-old Indian-American software engineer turned socialist is at the forefront of "Black Lives Matter" protests in Seattle to permanently oust city police officials from the downtown area that has now been designated the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ), according to media reports.</p>

<p>Kshama Sawant, the Seattle City Councilwoman, is encouraging activists in the CHAZ "to hold out on giving back the precinct to cops or allowing officers inside the barricaded region", according to Fox News.<br />
<br />

<p>Widespread protests have been taking place for weeks across the US following the death of 46-year-old African American George Floyd in Minneapolis while he was in police custody. Protesters have sparred with police for weeks.</p>

<p>Pune-born Sawant urged protesters to hold strong to the six-block region they've designated a "no cop" zone, the report said.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/france-police-to-ban-chokehold-arrest-as-protest-anger-mounts-304399">France police to ban chokehold arrest as protest anger mounts</a></strong></p>

<p>Kshama Sawant has said she will introduce legislation to convert the precinct into "a community centre for restorative justice."</p>

<p>"Our movement needs to urgently ensure East Precinct is not handed back to police but is turned over permanently into community control. My office is bringing legislation to convert East Precinct into a community centre for restorative justice," she tweeted on Friday.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, she also participated in demonstrations calling to defund the police and allowed over a thousand demonstrators into City Hall in a late-night protest calling for Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign.</p>

<p>She said she did it to show City Hall belongs to the people and she wanted the diverse group of demonstrators to be heard in the halls of power, Komonews.com reported.</p>

<p>More than 1,000 protesters spent an hour talking about defunding the Seattle Police Department, banning chemical weapon use by police, and railing on Mayor Jenny Durkan, demanding she step down immediately, the report said.</p>

<p>Even though social distancing was non-existent, everyone wore masks and the evening remained peaceful. Assistant Police Chief Deanna Nollette also says no laws were broken, so officers did not respond, it added.</p>

<p>Born to Vasundhara and H T Ramanujam in 1973, Ms Sawant grew up in Mumbai where she later studied computer science and graduated with a BS from the University of Mumbai in 1994.</p>

<p>Ms Sawant married and moved to the United States. After moving to the United States Ms Sawant decided to abandon the computer engineering field.</p>

<p>She began to pursue study in economics due to what she described as her own "questions of economic inequality." She entered the economics programme at North Carolina State University where she earned a PhD. She became a United States citizen in 2010.</p>

A 46-year-old Indian-American software engineer turned socialist is at the forefront of "Black Lives Matter" protests in Seattle to permanently oust city police officials from the downtown area that has now been designated the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ), according to media reports. Kshama Sawant, the Seattle City Councilwoman, is encouraging activists in the CHAZ "to hold out on giving back the precinct to cops or allowing officers inside the barricaded region", according to Fox News.

"Our movement needs to urgently ensure East Precinct is not handed back to police but is turned over permanently into community control. My office is bringing legislation to convert East Precinct into a community centre for restorative justice," she tweeted on Friday. On Tuesday, she also participated in demonstrations calling to defund the police and allowed over a thousand demonstrators into City Hall in a late-night protest calling for Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign. She said she did it to show City Hall belongs to the people and she wanted the diverse group of demonstrators to be heard in the halls of power, Komonews.com reported. More than 1,000 protesters spent an hour talking about defunding the Seattle Police Department, banning chemical weapon use by police, and railing on Mayor Jenny Durkan, demanding she step down immediately, the report said. Even though social distancing was non-existent, everyone wore masks and the evening remained peaceful. Assistant Police Chief Deanna Nollette also says no laws were broken, so officers did not respond, it added. Born to Vasundhara and H T Ramanujam in 1973, Ms Sawant grew up in Mumbai where she later studied computer science and graduated with a BS from the University of Mumbai in 1994. Ms Sawant married and moved to the United States. After moving to the United States Ms Sawant decided to abandon the computer engineering field. She began to pursue study in economics due to what she described as her own "questions of economic inequality." She entered the economics programme at North Carolina State University where she earned a PhD. She became a United States citizen in 2010. Ms Sawant joined the Socialist Alternative in 2006 and became a councilwoman in 2013 after defeating a 16-year incumbent Democrat Richard Conlin to become the first socialist elected in a major US city in decades.

<p>Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said that it has taken up the matter of untraceable Indian officials working with Indian High Commission in Islamabad with Pakistan.</p>

<p>The development comes days after two Pakistani officials at Pakistani high commission in Delhi were expelled by India on charges of espionage.

<p>It is believed since then Pakistan has been trying to find reasons to expel Indian officials on similar charges in a tit for tat.</p>

<p>Back in 2016, India had declared a Pakistani high commission official Mehmood Akhtar as persona non grata after being apprehended by Indian law enforcement authorities while receiving sensitive documents.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Indian government's statement made in the parliament December 2016, during his interrogation, Akhtar revealed that he belonged to Baloch Regiment of Pakistan Army and joined Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) on deputation.

COVID 19: Tamil Nadu and Delhi record more cases than Maharashtra

<p>India is not interested in land of Pakistan or China but wanted peace and amity, Union minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari said on Sunday.</p>

<p>Addressing virtual ''Jan Samvad'' rally of Gujarat BJP from Nagpur in Maharashtra, he said India believed in peace and non-violence and do not want to be strong by becoming an expansionist.</p>

<p>"India never tried to grab land of its neighbours like Bhutan and Bangladesh," he added.</p>

<p>The Minister of Road Transport &amp; Highways and MSME also said that COVID-19 crisis will not last long, as a vaccine is on its way soon.</p>

<p>"India do not want land of either Pakistan or China. All India want is peace, amity, love, and (want) to work together (with neighbouring countries)," Gadkari said.</p>

<p>His comments came at a time when India and China are engaged in a stand-off at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.</p>

<p>Talking about the completion of one year of the second term of the Modi government, Gadkari said its biggest achievement was to bring peace in the country by dealing with matters of internal and external security.</p>

<p>"...Whether it is about almost winning over the Maoist problem or securing the country from Pakistan-sponsored terrorism...There is China on the one side of our border and Pakistan on the other side. We want peace, not violence," he said.</p>

<p>During his speech, the Nagpur MP referred to famous novel "Mrityunjaya" by Marathi novelist Shivaji Sawant, saying peace and non-violence can be established by only those who are strong and not weak.</p>

<p>"We should not make India strong by becoming expansionist. We want to make India strong for establishing peace. We never tried to grab land of Bhutan. Our country made Sheikh Mujibur Rahman the prime minister of Bangladesh after winning the war (with Pakistan in 1971), and our soldiers returned thereafter.</p>

<p>"We took not a single inch of land. We do not want land either of Pakistan or China. All we want is peace, amity, love, and wanted to work together," he said.</p>

<p>Gadkari also said the coronavirus crisis will not last long as scientists in India and abroad have been working to develop a vaccine.</p>

<p>"This crisis is not going to last long. Effort is on in our country to develop a vaccine for coronavirus. Scientists across the world are working in this direction.</p>

<p>As per the information received by me, I can say with confidence that very soon we will find vaccine. Once we develop a vaccine, we won''t have to fear the crisis, Gadkari added.</p>

<p>As per the Union Health ministry, India saw the highest single-day spike of 11,929 novel coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, taking the number of infections to over 3.20 lakh on Sunday, while the toll crossed the 9,000 mark with 311 more deaths.</p>

<p>India's government said on Sunday it would provide New Delhi's city authorities with 500 railway coaches that will be equipped to care for coronavirus patients, after a surge in the number of cases led to a shortage of hospital beds.</p>

<p>The coaches will increase Delhi's capacity by 8,000 beds, home minister Amit Shah said on Twitter after a meeting with the capital's chief minister.</p>

<p>The government will also ramp up testing in the city, especially in containment zones, conduct a door-to-door health survey of residents and provide sufficient supplies of oxygen cylinders and ventilators, he said.</p>

<p>India is the fourth-worst affected country in the world, with cases steadily increasing. It reported a record single-day jump in cases on Sunday, adding nearly 12,000 confirmed infections and taking the total to more than 3,20,000.</p>

<p>With more than 22,000 active cases, Delhi is the third-worst affected after the states of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the number of infections in the city are expected to cross more than half a million by the end of July.</p>

<p>Shah said a committee was examining providing 60% of private hospital beds in Delhi at low cost for coronavirus patients, and fixing the cost of testing and treatment. He added that a report would be submitted on Monday.</p>

<p>That comes after a public outcry over the high cost of beds and coronavirus treatment at private hospitals.</p>

<p>India has strongly raised the killing of its national at the diplomatic level with Nepal. The matter was raised with the Nepal mission in Delhi, and by the Indian mission in Kathmandu with the Nepal home ministry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An Indian national was killed last week at the India-Nepal border by Nepali forces. The incident happened on Friday along Bihar's Sitamarhi district when Nepalese Armed Police Force (NAPF) opened fire during an altercation killing one Bikesh Kumar Rai and injuring three other Indian nationals. One Indian was also taken into custody by the Nepali forces.</p>

<p>Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) that patrols the India-Nepal border said firing by their forces started over "instantly generated local issue" on the "Nepali side". SSB DG Kumar Rajesh Chandra said, "This is a completely local issue that emerged from a local altercation."</p>

<p>The incident happened after locals and Nepal's Armed Police Force had an altercation -- when the former were asked to go back as the lockdown was in force in the country.</p>

<p>What followed was 10-15 rounds of firing by the Nepali side according to local eyewitnesses.</p>

<p>The incident comes amidst heightened tension between India and Nepal after Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli led government issued a new map showing Indian territories as Nepali territories. The Indian side has rejected the new Nepal map saying it has no historical evidence.</p>

New Delhi raises issue of killing of Indian national with Kathmandu

<p>The peak stage of COVID-19 pandemic in India has been delayed by the eight-week lockdown along with strengthened public health measures and it may now arrive around mid-November during which there could be a paucity of isolation and ICU beds, and ventilators, according to a study.</p>

<p>The study conducted by researchers from an Operations Research Group constituted by ICMR said the lockdown shifted the peak of the pandemic by an estimated 34 to 76 days and helped bring down the number of infections by 69 to 97 per cent thereby allowing time for the healthcare system to shore up resources and infrastructure.</p>

<p>In the scenario of intensified public health measures with 60 per cent effectiveness after lockdown, the demand can be met until the first week of November. After that, isolation beds could be inadequate for 5.4 months, ICU beds for 4.6 and ventilators for 3.9 months, projections by the health researchers showed.</p>

<p>However, this shortfall is estimated to be 83 per cent less than what it could have been without the lockdown and public health measures.</p>

<p>With sustained government steps at increasing the infrastructure and different pace of epidemic in different regions, the impact of unmet need can be reduced. If the coverage of public health measures can be increased to 80 per cent, the epidemic can be mitigated, the researchers stated.</p>

<p>According to the model-based analysis for COVID-19 pandemic in India, with the additional capacity which has been built up for testing, treating and isolating patients during the lockdown period, the number of cases at the peak would come down by 70 per cent and the cumulative cases may come down by nearly 27 per cent. ?</p>

<p>In terms of COVID-19 mortality, approximately 60 per cent deaths were prevented and one-third of this mortality prevention is attributed to the reduction in unmet need for critical care as a result of the intervention, the analysis showed.</p>

<p>The researchers said the management of COVID-19 will involve a dynamic review of policies and significant strengthening of the healthcare system.</p>

<p>"While lockdowns will delay the onset of peak and will give the much needed time for the health system to respond, strengthening the health system response in terms of testing, isolation of cases, treatment and contact tracing, as is being done currently, will have to be the mainstay to reduce the impact of the pandemic in India until vaccine becomes available," it said.</p>

<p>The overall economic health system cost of this pandemic is estimated to be 6.2 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP).</p>

<p>The country saw a record spike of 11,929 cases pushing India's COVID-19 caseload to 3,20,922 on Sunday while the death toll rose to 9,195 with an increase of 311 fatalities, according to the Union Health Ministry data.</p>

<p>India registered more than 10,000 cases for the third day in a row and is the fourth worst-hit nation by the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

<p>The ministry on June 9 said coronavirus related health infrastructure in the country has been strengthened with the availability of 958 dedicated COVID-19 hospitals with 1,67,883 isolation beds, 21,614 ICU and 73,469 oxygen supported beds.</p>

<p>Also, 2,313 dedicated COVID Health Centres with 1,33,037 isolation beds, 10,748 ICU beds and 46,635 oxygen supported beds have also been operationalised. Moreover, 7,525 COVID Care Centres with 7,10,642 beds are now available to combat COVID-19 in the country.</p>

<p>The ventilators available for COVID beds are 21,494, the ministry had said, adding that order of 60,848 more ventilators has been placed.</p>
