Flowers growersdemand reliefpackageGOLDY CHUGHSHAHABAD: Umesh Garg, head of theShahabad Yuva Vyapar Mandal,through Bajrang Das Garg, chairman ofHaryana Vyapar Mandal, has demand-ed that the GST registered traders ofHaryana be given a grant of Rs 10 lakhas corona relief, on the lines of the UP

government sothat in times ofcrisis, the busi-nessman's fami-ly can get somefinancial help.Umesh Gargwas talking toreporters at hisoffice in Sha-

habad grain market. Youth head UmeshGarg also demanded that during theextended lockdown from May 24 toMay 31, the opening time of the shopsshould be done from seven in themorning to two in the afternoon as theshopkeepers open and close the shopsfrom seven to 12 o'clock.Umesh Garg has demanded the ChiefMinister of Haryana and the Home Min-ister to announce a relief for the flowergrowers, as the lockdown has damagedthe flower crop in the fields, causing aneconomic crisis on the flower growers.The government should bring a reliefpackage for these people so that theytoo could be saved from the economiccrisis. Chief Minister Manohar Lalshould waive three months rent for theshops under the municipality on thelines of the first lockdown.

Shopkeepers nothappy withlockdown rulesR R SHELLYKARNAL: Shopkeepers are not happywith the new rule of lockdown in Karnal.They say that the government takes alldecisions on its own without consultingthe public. The person who is their advi-sor probably does not know what IS themeaning of shopping but the rulesmade by them are imposed on the pub-lic. President of Manav Care, SanjayGupta says that according to the newrule of lockdown, the time to open theshop is kept from 7 to 12 in the morn-ing. Instead of 7 to 12, 10 to 5 couldalso be kept for those who have tocome from the village and walk, no onecan reach for shopping before 10 o'-clock. Instead of an odd-even systemone should talk directly that one day itwill open according to the marking butthe marking has not been done at manyshops yet. Marking is necessary for oddand even shops. Shopkeeper AshuSachdeva, Lakshmi Bangle Bhandar,Gurnam Singh Saggu, say that it is theirlathe work as long as they have kept aclosed time, at that time our customerstarts coming. The government haschosen the time in a very wrong way,no one is meeting their timetable. Inevery business, the government doesnot take the opinion of the public.

The Minister said that ever sincehe had taken the charge of Power De-partment, about 2600 power theft cas-es have been revealed after conduct-ing raids in the field and accordinglyfine has been imposed on the default-ers which has generated the revenueof Rs 536 crore in the power sector.

Anuradha Bhargava Chairman, Shri Guru TegBahadur Brigade said that during the coronaperiod in the country people are extremelythankful to the Siksh community for its serv-ice to the society.But whenmembers of the Sikh communi-ty, held protest on the Delhi bor-der against the three agriculturallaws, the national media and thepeople called them terrorists andKhalistanis, which they are not.

There is hatred spread by thesocial media against the Sikhcommunity that wants Khalsa rajin the country. During OperationBlue Star of 1984 no FIR wasfiled against Sant Jarnail SinghBhindrawalai till 6 June 1984.India's Home Ministry does nothave any document in which he was called aterrorist. Then I got more curious to knowabout them. And from what I came to know,that he was a great saint and a soldier of GuruGobind Singh Ji's Khalsa army. The soldierwho once fought against the oppression of theMughals in this country, then the same Khal-sa and Sikh community fought against theBritish, sacrificed everything for India's free-dom.

The Sikh community was ignored afterindependence. It did not get any respect. Itspeople were made second class citizens intheir own country. They started protestingpeacefully against the Congress governmentof that time. But the governments of that timedid not respect the feelings of the Sikh com-

munity but ignored the inter-ests of the community. And di-vide and rule like the Englishgovernment was adopted.

Thus, the Sikh communitywhich is a marital community,how can it sit silent. Manyvices were controlled by theSant Bhindrawala. Drug conSumption was very low. Peo-ple did not have to wait longfor justice. The dignity ofdaughter-in-laws and daugh-ter-in-laws was getting safe.When the saint was kept in

Gurdaspur jail, he built a Shiva temple in thejail premises on the behest of Hindu prisoners.

Bhindrawala had a spiritual power. Peo-ple were relieved from sorrows only by hiswords.Whathappened after 1984 is unfortu-nate. Along with innocent Sikhs, Hindus werealso killed, there was a huge loss of life. Butbehind all these, Indira Gandhi's dictatorshipand political conspiracy was seen. Today Sikhcommunity lives all over the world.

Addressing the press con-ference, former MLA SR Kalersaid that congress party hasbeen trying to suppress otherparties since its formation asgovernment in Punjab. Kalerstated that there were 10sarpanchs related to SAD in ja-graon but congress party madeevery possible effort to get themdismissed and even filed fakeFIRs against some of them. Dueto this, SAD had to appeal forstay from high court in casesfiled against them. In anothercase, SAD formed its panchay-at at village Gidharwindi with 6panch and sarpanch from SADwhile 3 were from congress butusing its influence, congress gotthe SAD sarpanch suspended.in the suspension orders issuedby the director it was mentionedthat sarpanch is not allowed to

participate in any activity of thepanchs and the financial rightsshould be given to one of thepanch.

But, BDPO breached theorders of director and appointedan administrator instead whichis quite unfair with Akali dal. Incase a new sarpanch is elected,he/she must belong to Akali dalonly because latter holds major-

ity votes. Kaler on the behalf ofentire party asked for a copy ofrules according to which BDPOappointed administrator in thevillage panachayat. Akali Dalleaders accused congress partyof corruption saying that this acthas been executed just to makemoney as they wish to dwindlewith the funds which will be al-lotted for development works.

Although the State Bank of India'sbranch is committed to provide the best services to itscustomers, the branch also serves the customers of largefirms, who come daily to deposit more money at thebank's cash counter. One has to stand in line and wait forthe schedule like normal customers. Due to which theseday to day customers are in trouble and at the same timethere is a risk of loss of life and property. Customerscoming and going from the villages of the local town saythat they are facing lot of inconvenience due to only onecash counter.

AGENCYNEW DELHI, MAY 25

The National Green Tribunal hasformed a committee to submit areport on alleged violation ofnorms in the construction of areservoir across the Cauvery riverat Mekedatu in Karnataka.

A bench comprising JusticeK Ramakrishnan and expertmember K Satyagopal issuednotices to the Ministry ofEnvironment and Forests(MoEF), Department of WaterResources, Central WaterCommission, Karnataka andTamil Nadu governments amongothers. The direction came aftertaking suo motu (on its own)cognisance of a newspaper reportthat Karnataka proposes toconstruct a dam across theCauvery river in the area and thatthe proposal was deferred by theCauvery Water ManagementAuthority twice in the pastfollowing strong opposition fromthe Tamil Nadu governmentciting the pendency of casebefore the Supreme Court.

"Considering the allegationsmade in the newspaper report, weare satisfied that there arises asubstantial question ofenvironment, which requires theinterference of this Tribunal. So,the matter is admitted. "Issuenotice to the respondents...alongwith copy of the newspaperreport and gist of the Suo Motuproceeding with full cause title soas to enable them to comply withthe direction," the bench said.The committee comprises ofsenior members from theIntegrated Regional Office,MoEF, Bangalore, Cauvery

India to launch mobile tech platform for UN peacekeepersUnderlining the role

of technology in thesafety of UN peace-

keepers, India has told theworld body's top organ thatplans are afoot to launch amobile tech platform in Au-gust this year that will pro-vide terrain-related infor-mation to the Blue Helmetsin the line of duty.

"Infusion of appropri-ate technology can play asignificant role in improv-ing the safety and securityof the peacekeepers. Use offield-focused, reliable andcost-effective new tech-nologies in peacekeepingoperations that are drivenby practical needs of endusers on the ground is theneed of the hour," India'sDeputy Permanent Repre-sentative to the UN, Am-bassador K Nagaraj Naidusaid on Monday.

Addressing the UN Se-curity Council open debateon 'United Nations peace-keeping operations: Im-proving safety and securityof peacekeepers', Naidusaid India, in partnershipwith the UN Department ofPeacekeeping Operationsand the Department of Op-erational Support, has beenworking towards develop-ing a mobile tech platform'UNITE AWARE' that helpsincrease situational aware-ness and provides terrain-related information topeacekeepers.

"We have already con-tributed USD 1.64 milliontowards this project andhope to launch it during ourAugust presidency later thisyear," he said. India will bethe President of the 15-na-tion UN Security Councilin August this year.

India is one of thelargest troop contributingcountries to UN peacekeep-ing missions and has con-tributed more than 250,000troops in 49 missions overthe years. "Cumulatively,the largest from any coun-try," Naidu said, adding thatIndia is "proud of its longand rich tradition" of con-tribution to the UN peace-keeping missions.

Naidu told the Councilthat an Indian peacekeepersbrigade stationed in Goma,Democratic Republic of theCongo, is presently savinglives in the aftermath of thevolcanic eruption of MountNyiragongo.

During the COVID-19pandemic, India gifted200,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine for UN peace-keepers across all UN mis-sions. As of March 31 thisyear, there are 87,889 per-

sonnel serving in 12 peace-keeping operations aroundthe world.

"We have also deliv-ered 200,000 doses ofCOVID-19 vaccines forvaccinating all uniformedpersonnel deployed in vari-ous field missions and arepleased to note that close to140,000 field personnelhave already been vaccinat-ed, Naidu told the Council.

During the pandemic,which posed severe chal-lenges to peacekeepingmissions and peacekeepers,India readily answered theSecretary General's call byupgrading its hospitals inthe UN Mission in SouthSudan (UNMISS) and UNOrganization StabilizationMission in the DemocraticRepublic of the Congo(MONUSCO). In a presi-dential statement, theCouncil underscored the

"importance it places on thesafety and security ofpeacekeepers on the groundand the need for troops andpolice contributing coun-tries to, ensure where ap-propriate, that all peace-keepers in the field areequipped, informed andtrained to mitigate thethreat posed by landmines,explosive remnants of warand improvised explosivedevices." It said the pri-mary responsibility of thesafety and security of Unit-ed Nations personnel andassets rests with host states.

"In this regard, theCouncil condemns the vio-lations of status-of-forcesagreements by any party tothose agreements, recognis-es the grave risks such vio-lations can present to thesafety and security ofpeacekeepers." Naidu not-ed that UN peacekeepers

operate in a complex secu-rity environment involvingarmed groups, non-state ac-tors and terrorists and theever-expanding mandatesof peacekeeping missionswith limited resources hasonly added to the chal-lenges and complexitiesthat peacekeepers face onthe ground. He added thatthese challenges are com-pounded further by the in-creasing use of improvisedexplosive devices (IEDs)by terrorists and armedgroups. More than 260peacekeepers have died dueto malicious attacks since2013. It is evident that "pro-tecting the protectors"should be the primary ob-jective. "The tendency ofburdening peacekeeperswith responsibilities, whichought to primarily lie withthe host state or other rele-vant international organisa-

tions, should stop," he said.The Security Council needsto authorise carefullythought-out mandates topeacekeepers in close con-sultation with troop con-tributing countries sinceprotection of peacekeepersis as important as protec-tion of civilians. Peace-keeping missions cannot bea long-term response towhat are fundamentally po-litical problems.

It is for the Council toaddress these issues ratherthan burden peacekeepingmissions beyond their man-date, he said. Under-Secre-tary-General for Peace Op-erations Jean-PierreLacroix told the Councilthat since January 1 thisyear 15 peacekeepers losttheir lives due to maliciousacts. "One peacekeeper lostcontinues to be one toomany," he said, adding that"attacks against peacekeep-ers can constitute warcrimes; are a huge impedi-ment to the pursuit ofpeace; and an added con-straint for the effective im-plementation of UN Securi-ty Council mandates".

Naidu stressed that be-sides taking preventivemeasures to improve thesafety and security ofpeacekeepers, it is also im-perative to bring the perpe-trators who committedheinous crimes to justice."This needs collaborationand coordination betweendifferent stakeholders, in-cluding the UN and the hostcountries, where the peace-keepers are deployed andextending assistance tocountries who need help toframe these legislations,"he said.

'Turning mourning into dancing':Festival to remember Floyd

The intersection whereGeorge Floyd took hisfinal breaths was to be

transformed Tuesday into anoutdoor festival on the one-year anniversary of his death,with food, children's activitiesand a long list of musical per-formers. We're going to beturning mourning into danc-ing, rapper Nur-D tweeted.We're going to be celebrating365 days of strength in theface of injustice.

Floyd, 46, who wasBlack, died on Memorial Day2020 after then-Officer DerekChauvin knelt on his neck,pinning him to the ground forabout 9 1/2 minutes. Chauvin,who is white, was convictedlast month of murder andfaces sentencing June 25.Three other fired officers stillface trial.

The site of Floyd's death,38th and Chicago, was takenover by activists soon afterand remains barricaded totraffic. The Rise and Remem-ber George Floyd celebration,including a candlelight vigil at8 p.m., caps several days ofmarches, rallies and panel dis-cussions about his death and

where America is in con-fronting racial discrimination.Many members of the Floydfamily were scheduled to be inWashington on Tuesday, in aprivate meeting with Presi-dent Joe Biden, who calledfamily members after theChauvin verdict and pledgedto continue fighting for racialjustice. Nur-D, whose realname is Matt Allen, took tothe Minneapolis streets in thedays after Floyd's death, oftenproviding medical assistanceto protesters who were shot orgassed in confrontations withpolice. He eventually foundedan organization, Justice Front-

line Aid, to support safeprotest. He described the pastyear as like we've lived 20years inside of one" andhoped that people would feelhonesty and a real sense of to-getherness during Tuesday'scelebration at what's informal-ly known as George FloydSquare.

If you're angry, you can beangry. If you're sad, you canbe sad, Nur-D said in a fol-low-up interview. If you'refeeling some sense of joy overthe verdict and some sort oflike step in the right direction,and you want to celebrate that,do that as well.

Regular physical activi-ty has positive effectson children's develop-

ing brain circuits, finds aBoston Children's Hospitalstudy using neuroimagingdata from nearly 6,000 earlyadolescents.

Physical activity of anykind was associated withmore efficiently organized,flexible, and robust brain net-works, the researchers found.The more physical activity,the more "fit" the brain. Thefindings were published inthe journal Cerebral Cortex."It didn't matter what kind ofphysical activity childrenwere involved in - it onlymattered that they were ac-

tive," says Caterina Sta-moulis, PhD, principal inves-tigator on the study and di-rector of the ComputationalNeuroscience Laboratory atBoston Children's. "Beingactive multiple times perweek for at least 60 minuteshad a widespread positive ef-fect on brain circuitry."

Specifically, Stamoulisand her trainees, SkylarBrooks and Sean Parks foundpositive effects on circuits inmultiple brain areas. Thesecircuits play a fundamentalrole in cognitive function andsupport attention, sensoryprocessing, motor function,memory, decision-making,and executive control. Regu-

lar physical activity also par-tially offset the effects of un-healthy body mass index(BMI), which was associatedwith detrimental effects onthe same brain circuitry. Withsupport from the NationalScience Foundation's Har-nessing the Data Revolutionand BRAIN Initiative, the re-searchers tapped data fromthe long-term, NIH-spon-sored Adolescent Brain Cog-nitive Development (ABCD)study. They analyzed func-tional magnetic resonanceimaging (fMRI) data from5,955 9- and 10-year-oldsand crunched these dataagainst data on physical ac-tivity and BMI, using ad-

vanced computational tech-niques developed in collabo-ration with the Harvard Med-ical School High-Perfor-mance Computing Cluster."Early adolescence is a veryimportant time in brain de-velopment," notes Stamoulis."It's associated with a lot ofchanges in the brain's func-tional circuits, particularlythose supporting higher-levelprocesses like decision-mak-ing and executive control.Abnormal changes in theseareas can lead to risky behav-iours and deficits in cognitivefunction that can follow peo-ple throughout their life-time." The functional MRIdata were captured in the

resting state when the chil-dren were not performingany explicit cognitive task.This allows analysis of the"connectome" -- the architec-ture of brain connections thatdetermines how efficientlythe brain functions and howreadily it can adapt tochanges in the environment,independently of specifictasks.

The team adjusted thedata for age, gestational ageat birth, puberty status, sex,race, and family income.Physical activity and sportsinvolvement measures werebased on youth and parentsurveys collected by theABCD study.

EDITORIALGood sleuths: Citizens'

fact-findingThere is no doubt about the fact that facts are un-

der duress in modern times. Orchestrated falsi-ties have been weaponized in the age of Post

Truth by several regimes to serve their nefarious po-litical agenda. For instance, the credibility of eco-nomic data churned out by the arms of the Indian gov-ernment is usually taken with a generous pinch of salt,within and outside India. Vilification campaigns tar-geting minorities and amplified by a subservient me-dia form another example of the unprecedented scaleof such distortions. During times when the good of-fices of the government can no longer be relied uponto profess an objective relationship with facts, publicfact-finding commissions have been known to step into plug the breach. In a democracy that has not alwaysdoffed its hat to transparency, it is heartening to notethat India has had a long and valorous tradition of in-dependent agencies collating facts during times ofstrife. Perhaps the most celebrated example of thesefact-finding missions was the one that M.K. Gandhiundertook in Champaran. Citizens’ initiativesbloomed in independent India as well. Be it inde-pendent investigations into the riots in Bombay afterthe demolition of the Babri Masjid or, earlier, probesinto the custodial deaths of Naxalite political prison-ers during the Emergency, public fact-finding com-missions have performed stellar roles in the cause ofupholding truth. Attempts by the powers that be to dis-credit such initiatives have gathered pace in recenttimes. The present solicitor-general is of the opinionthat citizens’ groups on fact-finding enterprises signi-fy a ‘parallel judicial system’. This is a gratuitous —fallacious — argument. The principal objective ofthese collectives is to consolidate inquiries, albeit in-directly, by unearthing facts that may have gone un-noticed or been ignored — willfully — by investigat-ing agencies. The fact-finding team is merely a facil-itator, and not an adjudicator. The choice of consider-ing the data should be left to the courts. This partici-patory approach by civil society is critical to sustainthe culture of accountability in a faltering democracy.Any attempt to weaken this tradition of assessingevents in a manner that is autonomous of State chi-canery could spell disaster. That is because it will givethe government of the day complete control on thepublic narrative. Truth, usually, is the first casualty ofsuch a monopoly.

POEMWomen with low bone densityat increased risk of hearing loss

Researchers from Brigham andWomen's Hospital analyzeddata from nearly 144,000

women who were followed for up to34 years to find that risk ofsubsequent moderate orworse hearing loss was upto 40 per cent higher instudy participants with os-teoporosis or Low BoneDensity (LBD).

The study, publishedin the Journal of the Amer-ican Geriatric Society, alsofound that bisphospho-nates did not alter the riskof hearing loss.

Hearing loss is thethird most common chronic healthcondition in the United States. Pre-vious studies of people with hearingloss have uncovered a higher preva-lence of osteoporosis -- a disease inwhich the bones become weak andbrittle -- and low bone density(LBD). But research on whetherthese conditions may influence therisk of hearing loss over time isscarce. It is also unknown whetherhearing loss can be avoided by tak-ing bisphosphonates, the primarymedication used to prevent fracturesin people with reduced bone densi-ty. The new research uncovers howwomen with osteoporosis and low

bone density are at increased risk ofhearing loss "Adult-onset hearingloss is typically irreversible; there-fore, CHEARS focuses on identify-

ing potentially modifiable risk fac-tors that may contribute to hearingloss," said study leader SharonCurhan, MD, ScM, of the ChanningDivision of Network Medicine atthe Brigham.

"We were inspired by a recentstudy that found that bisphospho-nates may help prevent noise-in-duced hearing damage in mice. Wewanted to investigate whether bis-phosphonates alter risk of hearingloss in adults, in addition to whetherthere is a longitudinal associationbetween osteoporosis or LBD andrisk of subsequent hearing loss,"Sharon said.

Terming PM Modi-led BJPgovt as a death knell for thedemocratic system, poor peopleand farmers, he said that theentire Punjab and Congressstood by farmers who wereobserving “Black Day” oncompleting six months of theirhistoric struggle on May 26. “Wesalute their spirit for not onlyfighting to save the farming butalso protect the democracy byvehemently opposing the unholyBJP-Corporates nexus. Congresshas always believed that thisbattle based on principles willlast a long time, so we must planaccordingly to win it," he said.

The State Congress

President said that besidesfarmers’ issue, the Modigovernment had also failedmiserably on all fronts. In theunprecedented Covid 19 crisis,the BJP govt has led the nationto such a pathetic position wheremanaging to stay alive seems tobe the main aim of a commoncitizen. As the Modi governmentfailed to deal with Covid, thecountry's reputation at theinternational level stands

tarnished. Millions of peoplewere wandering for oxygen;vaccination centers had to beshut as the Center did not planfor availability in advance.Cremation of thousands ofbodies could not be done byfollowing their traditions andbeliefs. The highly insensitiveModi govt thus has no right tostay in power.

Jakhar said that it wasimperative for all political

parties to launch a massivecampaign to democraticallyremove the Narendra Modi govtwhich had emerged as a threat tothe federal structure, poor peopleand the survival of the peasantry.It was necessary to save farmerswho felt hurt by the deadlypolicies of the BJP government.

He said that May 30 markscompletion of the 2nd year of theModi government and hence thisday would be the best time tolaunch such a nationalcampaign. Sonia Gandhi Ji wasthe most suitable personality tolead the campaign and appealedto her to work with all parties tocome up with a strategy tosafeguard the democracy of thecountry in this time of crisis. “Itwas not just a matter ofagriculture black laws, if the BJPgovt remained in power thennothing will be safe and securein the country. “All the partiesshould unite and work on such acampaign to save the country, headded.

AGENCYDUBAI, MAY 25

Former New Zealand all-rounderRichard Hadlee has hailed TeamIndia for making an outstandingcontribution to the longest formatof the game. India and NewZealand will be locking horns inthe upcoming World Test Champi-onship (WTC) final, slated to be-gin on June 18 at the Ageas Bowlin Southampton.

"There is no doubt India pro-duces a lot of revenue for cricketespecially through televisionrights, sponsorships, advertising,attracting big crowds, and throughtournaments like IPL, etc. WithoutIndia, the face of world cricketwould be very different, thereforecricket needs India," Hadlee saidin an official ICC release.

"India has made an outstand-ing contribution to Test cricket --in fact, all formats of the game.Their Test performances in Aus-tralia were outstanding eventhough they had that blip and werebowled out for 36. They bouncedback superbly well, and Testcricket came alive again -- it at-tracted a lot of interest and theirperformances in Australia was aremarkable achievement especial-ly with so many youngsters hav-ing to come into the team and per-form. India has a great depth oftalented players in all formats ofthe game, waiting for theirchances to be selected and showthe world what they have to offer,"he added.

When asked about who willbe favourites in the WTC final,

Hadlee said: "The Test Champi-onship is a one-off game. Yes, it isa final, but I don't think eitherteam will be too fazed about it. Itis a neutral ground with no hometeam advantage. It is something tolook forward to. Both teams de-serve to be contesting the final be-cause of their consistent playingperformances over a set period oftime. It all comes down as to whois better prepared and who adaptsbetter to the English conditionsthe quickest."

"The weather may also play apart and if it is cold that willfavour New Zealand. The Dukeball will suit both team's fastbowlers especially the genuineswing bowlers and the Kiwis arewell served in that departmentwith Southee, Boult, andJamieson. If the ball seams aroundoff the pitch, batsmen in bothteams will be challenged. Bothteams have high-class batsmen soit will be an interesting game towatch. It is too difficult to call awinner at this stage," he added.

Earlier this year, India defeat-ed Australia 2-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against all oddsand then Virat Kohli's team de-feated England to cement theirplace in the finals of WTC.

"Personally, I am a great sup-porter of Test cricket. That's all Iknew when I grew up in the '60sand '70s. Yes, one-day cricketgained momentum in the mid-'70sbut there were not many gamesback then. In the 80's one-daycricket really took off. For me,Test cricket still remains the for-mat to play.
