An image of at least 200 homeless people standing in a queue in extremely cold weather conditions for a soup kitchen in Glasgow has drawn angry reactions from netizens.&nbsp;

This was one of the busiest nights for the group.&nbsp;

Graeme Weir, who works for this project, compared the image with scenes earlier seen in an Eastern European country "decimated by years of Communist rule".

"This makes me so angry. This has to end," he wrote on Facebook as he shared the image.&nbsp;

"I know some of these people personally and most of them are good people who have just hit a wee bump in the road.

"We as a civilised and caring nation need to step up."

The group founded by Laura McSorley in 2019 saw a great rise in demand for food when the UK saw its first lockdown, leading to a shift to large-scale operations.&nbsp;

In the lockdown, Kindness Homeless Street Team was providing hot food on the street four times a week at night.

Glasgow: Image of 200 homeless people in queue in extreme winter sparks anger

Bar and pub workers dumped ice outside Glasgow City chamber on Friday night (local time) as pubs and bars were closed as part of coronavirus restrictions. The restrictions will be in effect for 16 days from Friday.

Bucket-loads of ice were thrown on the street by Glasgow hospitality workers in George Square, as people cheered and clapped.

Pubs across England, Wales and Scotland were forced to close early from last month.

Scotland's government has since ordered a 16-day closure of pubs in the country's two biggest cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, starting on Friday.

The second wave of the coronavirus is threatening to derail Britain's economic recovery, which was already starting to wane, according to official data.

Since mid-September, number of COVID-19 cases in Scotland has been increasing. 1054 new cases were reported on Wednesday (October 7). These were driven by infections in the central belt of Scotland. 3.4 million people stay in the central belt.

Beyond the central belt, pubs, restaurants and cafes will not be able to serve alcohol indoors, and can only serve food and non-alcoholic drinks between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. for the 16-day period.

They will be able to continue to serve alcohol outdoors until the existing curfew time of 10 p.m., First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said earlier.

India&#39;s top gymnast Dipa Karmakar has been forced out of the coming Commonwealth Games owing to the career-threatening knee injury she picked up last year, her coach Bisweshwar Nandi said on Tuesday.

&quot;She is not yet ready for a tournament like the Commonwealth Games. So, the target is to make her fully ready for the Asian Games (August 18-September 2),&quot; Nandi told PTI.

Karmakar, the first Indian female to compete in the Olympics where she finished a historic fourth in the women&#39;s vault at the 2016 Rio Games, opted out of the CWG trials taking place at the Indira Gandhi Stadium here.

The Gold Coast Games take place from April 4-15.

&quot;She is fit but needs more time to be competition-ready. I would not call it a setback and she has taken it very sportingly,&quot; added the coach.

The 24-year-old had undergone an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery in April last year and is continuing to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation process. She has, however, started training, according to Nandi.

The nature of the injury, which she picked up during a training camp, has not allowed her to compete since the Rio Olympics.

Dipa had scripted history at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, becoming the first Indian woman to win a medal in gymnastics in the mega-event.

Karmakar had also secured a bronze in the 2015 Asian Championships.
