Corona not linked to5G: Dr. Chouhan

R R SHELLYKARNAL: Testing of mobile service 5Ghas nothing to do with the spread of co-rona infection. This is a rumour andnonsense. The testing of 5G has notstarted yet.

This was stated by Dr.Virendra Singh Chouhan, Vice-Chair-man, Haryana Granth Academy, duringa discussion with the villagers in theWakeup Karnal program of RadioGramodaya.

This caused alot of confusion. Dr. Chouhan, clearinganother misconception of the villagers,said that drinking alcohol is not a curefor corona. After talking to the peoplebelonging to different villages in the dis-cussion, Dr. Chouhan said that the con-dition of all the villages like Rahda,Gondar, Nising, Salvan and Jundla etc.is more or less the same. Now the situ-ation has moved towards normalcy.

He said thiswhile distributing oximeters,sanitisers and masks to the sani-tation workers and fire brigade workers atGole Market Park in Nilokheri. He said that inthe dreadful period of this epidemic, on onehand everyone is making all kinds of securityand arrangements to save their lives, on theother hand, a Safai worker is fearlessly risk-ing his and his family's life as a corona war-rior during the Corona epidemic. Every daythese Safai Soldiers and fire workers are pro-tecting us day and night by visiting varioushospitals, nursing homes, bus stands, roads,streets, markets and other crowded places.Apart from this, these Safai Sainiks are also

performing their humanitarian work by per-forming the last rites along with the post-mortem of the dead bodies of the people whodied from Corona. People of the deprived so-ciety are being kept under contractual practiceto perform the last rites of those corona af-fected bodies, which are not even allowed tobe seen by their families due to the fear of thespread of the epidemic. Still the present gov-ernment is neither providing any kind of fa-cility to these corona warriors standing in thefront line. Nor is the government providingthem any kind of health facilities.

UNI CHANDIGARH, JUNE 3

Sukhpal Singh Khaira MLA andformer Leader of Opposition onThursday while re joining the Con-gress along with his MLA col-leagues Jagdev Singh Kamalu andPirmal Singh Khalsa in the presenceof Capt Amarinder Singh CM, saidCongress was the only viable plat-form that can save India from theclutches of the fascist and fanaticrule of BJP. In the same vein he saidonly the Congress could prevent theBadals from “looting” the state liketheir previous regimes.

Khaira said he and his col-leagues after due diligence have de-cided to join the Congress in thelarger interest of the country as wellas their glorious state of Punjab.Khaira said prior to this he had forthe last one year tried his best tounite all like minded leaders on oneplatform, to create a Punjab centricregional force but unfortunately hecouldn’t succeed for various reasonsbest not disclosed.

Khaira said he was saddened tonote the arrogant attitude of the BJPtowards lakhs of farmers especiallyof Punjab struggling and agitating atthe borders of Delhi, for their legiti-mate demands but not only their de-

mands have been thrown to thewinds but they are being continu-ously humiliated by being brandedas anti nationals, Khalistani’s, nax-als etc. PM Modi has not once ex-pressed remorse over the death ofover 400 farmers, who are responsi-ble for making India self sufficientin food grain production.

Khaira said our inefficientPrime Minister has denigrated thestatus and respect for India amongstthe international community bygrossly mishandling the Covid cri-sis, leaving people in a lurch, partic-ularly the underprivileged. Khairasaid similarly Punjab has beenpushed to the brink as it is facingmultiple crisis due to the corrupt,

anti Sikh and anti Punjab policiespursued by the Badal family fortheir personal political and financialgains, at the cost of the state duringthe last few decades.

Khaira said Badals not only‘looted’ Punjab with both hands andbuilt their vast empire through illgotten wealth but have nefariouslyworked to destroy the ethos and glo-ry of the Sikhs as a community.Khaira said they stand completelyexposed for their anti Sikh role inthe much highlighted cases of sacri-lege and Behbal kalan killings.Khaira held the Badals responsiblefor these incidents as they werehand in glove with the Dera Sachasauda head for cheap electoralgains. Khaira said Badals had low-ered the prestige of our glorious in-stitutions of SGPC and Akal TakhatSahib by appointing their croniesand through them misusing these in-stitutions for vested interest. In thesame breath, Khaira severely lam-basted Arvind Kejriwal as a pseudorevolutionary, who was nothing buta dictator and B-team of the RSS-BJP. Khaira said Kejriwal support-ed the BJP in destroying the state ofJammu & Kashmir and has alwaysworked against the spirit of federal-ism. Khaira said he had an anti mi-nority mind set that he exhibited by

supporting fundamentalist laws likethe CAA and UAPA. Khaira said itwas his political blunder to join theAAP in 2015, presuming that Kejri-wal would honestly bring about aqualitative change in the politicalculture of India but after workingwith him he has realised that Kejri-wal was a double faceted and hyp-ocrite leader.

He urged the people of Punjaband NRI’s not to again fall prey tohis politics of fraud and lies. Khairasaid Kejriwal collected hundreds ofcrores worldwide from PunjabiNRI’s in 2017 but has failed to ex-plain how and where the party spentthe money.

Khaira said therefore keepingthe present political situation inmind he was of the firm opinion,that only leaders like Smt. SoniaGandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Capt.Amarinder Singh could lead the na-tion and state towards stability,peace and progress, hence he along-with his colleagues have decided tojoin the party. Last but not the leasthe said his decision to re join theCongress party was also based on avery vociferous demand for thesame by his supporters of Bholathconstituency, to whom he and hisfamily owe their 50 years of politi-cal existence.

Xi Jinping's idea of 'lovable' China raises eyebrowsAfter years of China's

growing aggres-siveness towards

other countries throughwarnings and insults, Pres-ident Xi Jinping said thatofficials should create alovable and respectableimage of the country,which has raised more thana few skeptical eyebrowsamong China watchers.

In his remarks at aPolitburo meeting on Mon-day as quoted by Xinhuanews agency, Xi said: "Wemust pay attention to graspthe tone, be both open,confident and humble, andstrive to create a credible,lovable, and respectableimage of China."

Adam Taylor forWashington Post writesthat China's internationalrelations have frayed sig-nificantly over the pastyears, with issues like therepression of the Uyghurethnic minority in Xin-jiang, aggressive rhetoricand action against Taiwan,India and Hong Kong ac-tivists and relentless obfus-cation over the coronavirusdarkening China's globalimage.

Much of China's hy-peraggressive diplomacywas led by a team of 'wolfwarriors', including For-eign Ministry spokesmanZhao Lijian, which evi-dence suggests was notwinning friends.

In a Pew ResearchCenter survey of 14 coun-tries released in October, amajority of respondentsgave a negative appraisalof China. Negative viewsreached decade highs innine of those countries.Moreover, calls for coun-

tries to boycott the Beijing2022 Winter Olympicsshow no sign of dissipatingover severe human rightsabuses in Xinjiang andChina's vaccine diplomacyefforts have been compli-cated by reports of low ef-ficacy and new COVID-19waves. According to TuftsUniversity's SulmaanWasif Khan, the wolf war-riors had disrupted China's"grand strategy" and poseda real domestic risk, re-ported Washington Post.

"The real danger is thatonce toxin has spread

through the system, thereis no knowing where it willend," he said. Last month,research from Yaoyao Daiand Luwei Rose Luqiupublished by WashingtonPost's The Monkey Cagelast month found that anaverage of 10 percent ofForeign Ministry speecheswere "combative and hos-tile" before 2012. That in-creased to more than aquarter in 2019 and 2020.

When US PresidentJoe Biden's officials firstmet with their Chinesecounterparts this March,

they received a 16-minutetirade criticising Americaand accusing US officialsof speaking from a posi-tion of hypocrisy andweakness.

During the COVID-19outbreak, Zhao spreadbaseless theories that theUS military could havebeen behind the coron-avirus pandemic that firstemerged in Wuhan, China-- a notion so bold thatsome other Chinese diplo-mats seemed to distancethemselves from it, writesTaylor. However, increas-

ing international pressureon the origins of COVID-19 has highlighted thatChina has something tohide. Moreover, China'srelations with the Euro-pean Union (EU) have alsoworsened amid disputesover Xinjiang, effectivelyending plans for a tradeand investment treaty.

In their research, Daiand Luqiu found that thewolf warriors' tough talkwas often a substitute fortough action, leading na-tionalistic netizens to pro-claim victory and appeal-

ing to the poorer countries.The rude tweets, alongwith Xi's policies of re-pression in Xinjiang andHong Kong or the system-atic embrace of secrecyand paranoia that maymake finding the cause ofthe coronavirus impossiblethat disrupt its relationsabroad. Adam Taylor fur-ther opined that keeping atighter leash on the wolfwarriors may not spell bet-ter international relationsfor China, unless signifi-cant policy changes are inplace.

Golden eagles may use turbulence to accelerate: Study

Pandemic led to increased screentime, more sleep problems

Anew study has foundthat increased eveningscreen time during the

COVID-19 pandemic negative-ly affected the sleep quality ofpeople. The findings of thestudy were published in thejournal 'Sleep'. During the lock-down period in Italy, daily in-ternet traffic volume almostdoubled compared to the sametime in the previous year. Re-searchers conducted a web-based survey of 2,123 Italianresidents during the third andseventh week of Italy's first na-tional lockdown. The surveyran in the third week of lock-down (March 25th - 28th,2020) and evaluated sleep qual-ity and insomnia symptoms, us-ing the Pittsburgh Sleep Quali-ty Index and the InsomniaSeverity Index as means ofmeasurement. The second as-sessment survey, in the seventhweek of lockdown (April 21st -27th, 2020), inquired about theusage of electronic devices inthe two hours before fallingasleep, in addition to repeatingthe sleep questionnaires. Of theparticipants surveyed, 92.9 percent reported an increase intheir electronic device usage

between the first and secondsurveys. These participantsshowed decreased sleep quality,an increase in insomnia symp-toms, shorter total sleep times,and later bedtimes and risingtimes. Researchers found an in-creased prevalence of poorsleepers and respondents withmoderate to severe insomniasymptoms only within thisgroup of respondents. Some 7.1per cent of participants reporteda decrease in evening screentime between the first and sec-ond survey, and conversely re-ported improved sleep qualityand fewer symptoms of insom-nia. This subgroup also demon-

strated a decrease in the preva-lence of poor sleepers and mod-erate/severe insomnia symp-toms. These respondents wentto bed consistently earlier afterfour weeks of home confine-ment. Survey respondents whoreported no change in theirscreen time exposure likewiseshowed no variations in theirsleep habits. Notably, this groupof responders had the best sleepquality and fewest insomniasymptoms in the first survey re-sults, suggesting that the lock-down exacerbated negativesleep conditions for people al-ready suffering from poor sleepquality.

Birds routinely en-counter turbu-lence, but the ef-

fects of turbulence on aflight are not well un-derstood, comparedwith the effects oflarge-scale atmosphericflows, such as updrafts.A study published in thejournal Proceedings ofthe National Academyof Sciences of the Unit-ed States of America(PNAS) sheds light onthe same.

Although soaringbirds spend a signifi-cant portion of theirlives navigating turbu-lent environments, the

role turbulence plays intheir lives is unclear.This holds especiallywhen turbulent air cur-rents fluctuate on simi-lar timescales as avianflight behaviours."Against a backdrop ofcomplicated behaviourand aerodynamics, wefind that a simple linearmodel almost fully ex-plains the interactionsbetween an eagle andturbulence and that thisinteraction, in turn, al-most fully explains theaccelerations of the ea-gle's body throughoutits airborne life.

Chinks in theNREGA armourThe current unprecedented humanitarian crisis

has exposed the country’s health system as wellas its administrative capacities to address a chal-

lenge of this scale. The second wave of the coron-avirus has created a catastrophe wherein both life andlivelihoods are at stake. The government’s short-sight-edness and lack of vision have damaged the ecosys-tem of governance pertaining to health and livelihood.When it had the time and the opportunity to rejuvenatethe health system, the Centre did not heed the sugges-tions made by civil society and experts. It was moreinterested in winning elections than saving lives.The Union government should take lessons from thepast for the sake of the future. While battling Covid-19, it should simultaneously focus on a long-term planto generate sustained employment for citizens andcreate robust universal social security for the margin-alized. Unlike last year, the virus has spread to the ru-ral areas. The health hazards are expected to createmassive chaos and ruckus in village communities.Districts and block headquarters are short of resourcesto respond to the medical needs of the people. Manystates have imposed strict lockdowns, causing loss inemployment and income for rural citizens. The lossesfor daily wage workers, livestock rearing communi-ties and marginal farming households will cause eco-nomic distress and increased indebtedness. The foodcrisis will intensify in the coming months on accountof income losses, restricted movements, and reducedmarket capacities due to full or partial lockdowns. Itis thus important to ensure access to basic services andsecurity in terms of shelter, food and a regular sourceof income. The expansion and the strengthening of theNational Food Security Act and the National RuralEmployment Guarantee Act can play a vital role inpreventing people from slipping into abject poverty.The Centre announced five kilogrammes of free grainfor individuals enlisted under the NFSA through thepublic distribution system for May and June. This willbe done under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan AnnaYojana. Earlier, the Centre had allocated Rs 73,000crore for the NREGA; this was about Rs 38,500 croreless than that of the revised estimate of last year. TheCentre had also notified an annual increment of about4 per cent in NREGA wages. This approach is ratherconservative. Instead of short-term support, the gov-ernment should look to do the following that can havea larger impact on the rural masses.

POEMSLess aviation during global lockdown

had positive impact on climate

While many may recount theCOVID-19 induced lock-down as a bane, a team of

researchers have highlighted a silverlining on the cloud in theform of a new study. Theydiscovered that less avia-tion during the global lock-down had a positive impacton the climate.

They studied the extentto which cirrus cloudscaused by aircraft occurredduring the global hard lock-down between March andMay 2020 and comparedthe values with those duringthe same period in previousyears. The study was led byJohannes Quaas, Professor of Theo-retical Meteorology at Leipzig Uni-versity, and has now been publishedin the renowned journal "Environ-mental Research Letters".

Cirrus clouds, known for theirhigh, wispy strands, contribute towarming the climate. When cirrusclouds occur naturally, large ice crys-tals form at an altitude of about 36kilometres, in turn reflecting sunlightback into space - albeit to a small ex-tent. However, they also prevent radi-ated heat from escaping the atmos-phere, and thus have a net heating ef-fect. This is the dominant effect in cir-

rus clouds. When the weather condi-tions are right, condensation trailsform behind aircraft. These may per-sist and spread to form larger cirrus

clouds. In this case, their effect on theclimate is much greater than that ofnarrow contrails alone. The re-searchers led by Professor Quaasanalysed satellite images of clouds inthe northern hemisphere, between27° and 68° North, in the period fromMarch to May 2020. They then com-pared these with images from thesame period in previous years. "Cru-cially, our studies reveal a clear causalrelationship. Since clouds vary con-siderably depending on the weather,we would not have been able to detectthe effects of air traffic in this way un-der normal circumstances.

India's top badminton star P VSindhu says she is working to ac-quire new skills and techniques tosurprise her rivals, who are at thesame level with distinct playingstyles, at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Rio Olympics silvermedallist and world championfeels the coronavirus pandemic-induced break has given her themuch-needed time to rectify mis-takes in her game and add some-thing new to her repertoire.

Her nemesis and reigningchampion, Carolina Marin, willnot be there due to a knee injury,but Sindhu knows the field still re-mains tough.

"In women's circuit the play-ers in top-10 are of same standard.You can't take it easy, if one play-er is not there," Sindhu, the worldnumber seven, said in a virtual in-teraction, organised by the SportsAuthority of India (SAI).

"There is Tai Tzu Ying,Ratchanok Intanon, (Nozomi)Okuhara and (Akane) Yamaguchi.They are all good players. Youcan't say, it will be easy if oneplayer is missing. I can't relax andneed to be focussed and give mybest," the 25-year-old said.

Sindhu had lost the 2016Olympics final and 2017 WorldChampionship summit clash toMarin.

"There are a couple of trickyplayers like Ratchanok, she isvery skilful. We have to look afterthem.

"For me, it's a very good timeto improve my technique andskill. I have improved. It's goodthat I have got so much time. Usu-ally we don't get time to rectifymistakes or learn new skills.

"It takes time. So this was thetime and I am using it. I hope, inthe Olympics, there will be somenew techniques and skills."

Sindhu said she and othershave to watch out for the Chineseplayers as well since they havebeen missing from the circuit forsome time.

"They have not played for along time. We have not seen them.Chen Yu (Fei) and He Bing Jiao,the left hander, her skills are good.In Olympics, it's completely dif-ferent, the game, the pressure. Youcan't expect easy (rivals)."

Asked about her own strongpoints that may give her advantageover others, Sindhu said her gameis always about relentless attacks."Attack is my strong point. The ri-vals know my game so I am work-ing on my defence as well. I amtall, so my attack is good. I have to

be prepared for all strokes, foreverything," she said. The Hyder-abadi said training at the Gachi-bowli Stadium is ideal preparationfor the Games since the facility ishuge and gives her the feel of sta-diums where big-ticket events likethe Olympics are held. "We mightnot know each other's game nowbecause we have not played for thelast two months. I have been play-ing at Gachbowli after the Thai-land Open and it has been reallyhelpful because it is internationalstandard.
