Coronavirus: हरियाणा में कोरोना वॉरियर्स की सुरक्षा के लिए चलाया जा रहा ‘रक्षक की रक्षा’ कैंपेन

हरियाणा में कोरोना वॉरियर्स के लिए ‘रक्षक की रक्षा’ कैंपेन चलाया जा रहा है.

खास बातें

कोरोना वॉरियर्स के लिए ‘रक्षक की रक्षा’ कैंपेन

हरियाणा की महिला कार्यकर्ताओं के लिए अभियान

10 हजार से ज्यादा बांटी जा चुकी हैं सेफ्टी किट

हिसार:

कोरोनावायरस (Coronavirus) के खिलाफ लड़ाई में कई महिला कार्यकर्ता सबसे आगे हैं. उनमें से अधिकांश बहुउद्देशीय स्वास्थ्य कार्यकर्ता, मान्यता प्राप्त सामाजिक स्वास्थ्य कार्यकर्ता (ASHA), आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकर्ता और साफ-सफाईकर्मी हैं. इनमें से ज्यादातर महिलाएं ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों से हैं. यह महिलाएं सरकार के साथ लगातार काम कर रही हैं. लोगों में जागरुकता पैदा करने के लिए वह घर-घर जा रही हैं. कोरोना के खिलाफ जंग में सबसे आगे होने की वजह से यह महिलाएं खतरे की चपेट में भी सबसे अधिक हैं.

हरियाणा के हिसार में शिवांग तयाल इन कोरोना वॉरियर्स के बचाव को आगे आए हैं. उनकी इस मुहिम का नाम ‘रक्षक की रक्षा’ है. इस मुहिम के तहत इन महिला कोरोना वॉरियर्स को जरूरी बचाव संबंधी चीजें दी जा रही हैं ताकि वह कोरोना से सुरक्षित रह सकें.

अभियान के सह-संस्थापक शिवांग तयाल कहते हैं, ‘इस कैंपेन का मकसद है कि फ्रंटलाइन वर्कर्स की कोरोना से बचाव में मदद की जा सके. ये कार्यकर्ता पूरे हरियाणा में 900 से अधिक शहरों और गांवों की रक्षा करने के लिए ��ाम कर रही हैं. कई कार्यकर्ताओं के संक्रमण की चपेट में आने की खबरें भी मिली हैं, इसलिए ये जरूरी है कि हम इनकी रक्षा करें.’

‘रक्षक की रक्षा’ कैंपेन मार्च में शुरू हुआ था. इस मुहिम के तहत हरियाणा और दिल्ली के स्वास्थ्यकर्मियों को अभी तक 10 हजार से ज्यादा सेफ्टी किट वितरित की जा चुकी हैं. हर किट में फेस शील्ड, चश्मा, सैनिटाइजर, ट्रिपल लेयर फेस मास्क, साबुन और ग्लव्स हैं. एक महिला कार्यकर्ता कहती हैं, ‘हमारी इस लड़ाई में ये किट बहुत जरूरी है. इस किट का इस्तेमाल करके हम दूसरों को बता सकते हैं कि वो इस खतरनाक वायरस से कैसे बचें.’

गौरतलब है कि कई राज्यों में कोरोना वॉरियर्स के पास प्रोटेक्टिव गियर्स की भी कमी देखने को मिली है. इसकी वजह से यह वॉरियर्स खुद संक्रम��� के सबसे ज्यादा रिस्क में रहते हुए काम करने को मजबूर हैं. कोरोना वॉरियर्स की मेहनत और उनके जज्बे को देखते हुए कई संस्थाएं उन्हें सेफ्टी किट मुहैया करवा रही हैं.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses 2021’s first Mann Ki Baat: Highlights

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the nation was shocked to witness the insult of the Tricolour on January 26 at the historic Red Fort. The PM made the statement while addressing this year’s first ‘Mann Ki Baat‘ programme. “The nation was shocked to witness the insult of the Tricolour on January 26. We have to fill the coming days with hope and novelty,” Modi said. Prime Minister’s comments came in the aftermath of the violence on January 26 when farmers protesting against farm laws broke barricades to enter Delhi, clashed with police and vandalised property. They also entered the Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts. Here are the highlights from PM Modi‘s first Mann ki Baat address of 2021: * Today is the last day of January 2021. Are you too thinking, the way I am that 2021 had commenced just a few days ago? It just doesn’t feel that the entire month of January has passed by! This is what is termed as the speed of time. * This month, there has been very good news from the cricket pitch too. Our cricket team, after initial setbacks made a grand comeback, winning the series in Australia. The hard work and teamwork of our players is inspirational. * The ‘made in India’ vaccine is a symbol of India’s self-reliance; it is also a symbol of her self-pride. *India’s vaccination programme is turning out to be exemplary to the world. We are vaccinating our citizens faster than anywhere in the world. * In 15 days, India vaccinated 30 lakh corona-warriors whereas it took America 18 days and Britain 36 days to achieve the same feat. * This year, India is going to commence the celebration of 75 years of her Independence – Amrit Mahotsav. This is an excellent time to explore places associated with those heroes on account of whom we attained freedom. * On freedom movement I received a comment on Namo App from Jai Ram Viplava who reminded us that in 1932 a group of young patriots were killed by Britishers because they had raised ‘vande matram’ and ‘bharat mata ki jai’ slogans. * An initiative has been taken for young writers for the purpose of ‘India@75’. This will encourage young writers of all states and of all languages. You can learn more about this initiative on the ministry of eduction website. *I felt very happy on reading about how a local vegetable market in Bowenpally, Hyderabad is turning waste to electricity and bio-fuel. More than 10 tonnes of waste is being converted into 500 units of electricity and 30 kg of bio-fuel. * A similar amazing feat has been achieved by Badaut village Panchayat of Panchkula in Haryana where people are filtering drainage water and using it to irrigate fields. * I have seen another news from Kerala where divyang NS Rajappan Sahab has been taking out plastic bottles in the Vembanad Lake. *You must have witnessed a few days ago, that four women pilots from India took command of a non-stop flight from San Francisco, America to Bangalore. * You must have also observed this time in the 26th January parade, where two women officers of the Indian Air Force created a new history. * Whatever be the area, the participation of women of the country is continuously on the rise. * In Chichgaon, Jabalpur, tribal women struck by the pandemic lost their jobs at rice mill. But they formed a self-help group and started their own rice mill by raising capital from their savings and were assisted under the Ajivika Mission. The members are now paying back their debt from the mill’s profit. * Now, there is growing enthusiasm about cultivation of strawberry in Bundelkhand and one of Jhansi’s daughters Gurleen Chawla has played a huge role in it. * Recently, a month-long ‘strawberry festival’ began in Jhansi. Everyone is surprised – strawberry and Bundelkhand! But, this is the truth. * With the help of new technology, similar efforts are also being done in other parts of the country. Strawberry which was once identified with the hills, is now also being cultivated in the sandy soil of Kutch, boosting the income of farmers. * Sarmuddin, a painter from Naya Pingla village in West Midnapore, West Bengal, sold his painting based on Ramayana for two lakh rupees. In this context, I got to know about a good initiative in Bengal which I would like to share with you. * The regional office of the ministry of tourism started an ‘Incredible India Weekend Getaway’ in the villages of Bengal at the beginning of the month. The handicraft artisans from West Midnapore, Bankura, Birbhum, Purulia, East Bardhaman, organized handicraft workshop for visitors. * People are also making our art forms popular employing novel methods across the country. * You will be pleased to know that there are more than 30 yoga centres in Santiago, Chile. November 4 has been declared as ‘National Yoga Day’ in Chile. Chile is far away from India but the fragrance of Indian culture has been there for a long time. * From January 18 to February 17 we are observing ‘Road Safety Month’. We should become active stakeholders to reduce road accidents and save lives. * Friends, you must have noticed, passing through the roads that the Border Road Organization builds, one gets to see many innovative slogans. * Slogans such as ‘This is highway not runway’ and ‘Be Mr Late than Late Mr’ are quite effective in promoting road safety. * Friends, it is said that drop by drop, the pot gets filled. Every single effort of ours leads to the realization of our resolve. Therefore, the goals with which we started 2021, we all have to work to fulfil them together.

Coronavirus Outbreak in India Latest Updates 

COVID-19 cases rise to 35,365, toll at 1,152 in India

India reported another surge of COVID-19 cases on Friday with a record 1,755 patients testing positive and 77 people dying from the novel coronavirus that has claimed over 2,33,000 lives and shattered global economies since it originated in China's Wuhan city in December last year.

The confirmed cases in the country climbed to 35,365 while deaths reached 1,152 as the Centre extended the nationwide lockdown till 17 May.

Coronavirus Outbreak LATEST Updates: India reported another surge of COVID-19 cases on Friday with a record 1,755 patients testing positive and 77 people dying from the novel coronavirus that has claimed over 2,33,000 lives and shattered global economies since it originated in China's Wuhan city in December last year.

The confirmed cases in the country climbed to 35,365 while deaths reached 1,152 as the Centre extended the nationwide lockdown till 17 May.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had first announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown from 25 March, which was later extended by two more weeks till 4 May to contain the virus spread.

On Friday, the Centre announced a third extension but this time, it provided some relaxations for various business activities and people's movement within areas with limited or no COVID-19 cases.

In fact, on Friday morning, the first train carrying around 1,200 people left Lingampally in Telangana to Hatia in Jharkhand by a 24-coach special train on a pilot basis, while another train carrying migrant workers stranded in Kerala left for Odisha's Bhubaneswar on Friday night.

Later in the day, the Centre announced that states and Union Territories will be able to avail "special train service" to bring stranded migrant workers, students and tourists home, provided they are willing to pay for it and both host and destination governments mutually agree to the movement of the people.

The government on Friday also announced that it has ramped up production of COVID-19 protective gear and medical equipment, giving a boost to its fight against COVID-19 and reducing it dependency on foreign countries for these items which are in high demand globally due to the pandemic.

The Centre on Friday said it has placed order for 2.22 crore personal protection equipment (PPE), of which around 1.43 crore will be procured from domestic manufacturers and the rest imported.

Separately, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat announced at a special press briefing, along with the three service chiefs, that the armed forces will express their gratitude to all "corona warriors" on Sunday by conducting fly-pasts, showering petals on hospitals treating COVID-19 patients and illuminating naval vessels.

Besides, the Army will conduct mountain band displays along some COVID-19 hospitals in almost every district.

Rawat also said it is not proper to conclude that the novel coronavirus outbreak is a result of biological warfare.

US president Donald Trump has often claimed that the deadly virus originated from a virology lab, but his comments undercut a rare public statement from his own intelligence community, which stated no such assessment has been made by them, whether the COVID-19 outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.

COVID-19 cases as of Friday

In its 5 pm update, the Health Ministry said the toll due to the novel coronavirus rose to 1,152 with 77 fatalities reported since Thursday evening, while the number of cases saw a record jump of 1,755 to go up to 35,365 cases on Friday.

The number of active COVID-19 cases stood at 25,148 while 9,064 people have recovered, and one patient has migrated, the ministry said.

"Thus, around 25.63 percent patients have recovered so far," a health ministry official said.

The total number of cases include 111 foreign nationals.

A total of 77 deaths were reported since Thursday evening, of which 27 fatalities were reported from Maharashtra, 17 from Gujarat, 11 from West Bengal, seven each from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, three from Delhi, two from Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and one from Karnataka.

Of the 1,152 deaths, Maharashtra tops the tally with 459 fatalities. Mumbai on Friday recorded 751 new COVID-19 cases, the highest in a day, taking the number of coronavirus positive cases in the city to 7,625, civic officials said.

Gujarat reported 214 deaths, follwed by Madhya Pradesh at 137, Delhi at 59, Rajasthan at 58, Uttar Pradesh at 41 and West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh at 33 each.

The death toll reached 27 in Tamil Nadu, 26 in Telangana, while Karantaka has reported 22 deaths.

Punjab has registered 19 fatalities so far. The disease has claimed eight lives in Jammu and Kashmir, four in Kerala while Jharkhand and Haryana have recorded three COVID-19 deaths each.

Bihar has reported two deaths, while Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha and Assam have reported one fatality each, according to ministry data.

According to the ministry's data updated in the evening, the highest number of confirmed cases in the country are from Maharashtra at 10,498 followed by Gujarat at 4,395, Delhi at 3,515, Madhya Pradesh at 2,719, Rajasthan at 2,584, Tamil Nadu at 2,323 and Uttar Pradesh at 2,281.

Exercising the powers conferred under the Disaster Management Act, Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla said the movement of migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons stranded at different places is allowed by special trains to be operated by the Ministry of Railways (MoR).

The MoR will designate nodal officers for coordinating with the states and Union territories for their movement, he added

"The MoR will issue detailed guidelines for sale of tickets, and for social distancing and other safety measures to be observed at train stations, platforms and within the trains," the home secretary said.

These trains will run provided "on request from both the Originating and Destination State Governments".
