Navdeep, a student of Una College said thatneither I am speaking from any party nor anyorganization, I believe in promoting thenational interest. I want to urge HimachalGovernment to see the impact of growing corona in Una. Notthat any student is safe in such a situation, and atrocities areincreasing day by day in Una, if it continues like this, atrocitiesin the society will be increased. Also, there are many students,who are not ready to give exams. In Lockdown period, therewere studies through online medium, which is also not possiblefor all students, who do not have funds for internet access,because everyone is not in a good financial condition during theCorona period. Such students would pay for theiradmission/exam fees, or pay internet charges. Moreover, thereare many places, where there is no network.

Canada 'must do more' to help people in Hong KongAmid the crackdown

on dissent in HongKong, an advocacy

group has said that whileCanada has unveiled newwork, study and residencypermit programmes forHong Kongers but moresupport is definitely need-ed. Al Jazeera further re-ported that the Canadiangovernment in Novemberlast year announced newimmigration measures toentice Hong Kong peopleto come to Canada to studyand work, and broadeningthe pathway to permanentresidency for those alreadyin the country.

Canada's "open" workpermits for Hong Kongpeople, which will allowresidents to get job experi-ence in Canada, were offi-cially made available onFebruary 8.

But the new pathway topermanent residency willonly be introduced later thisyear, the Canadian govern-ment said, prompting con-cerns from an advocacygroup who says that moreeasily accessible pro-grammes are needed forpeople from Hong Kong,especially those seekingasylum.

A spokesman for Cana-da's immigration, refugeesand citizenship departmenttold Al Jazeera that Ottawais concerned about the dra-conian national securitylaw imposed by Beijing andreiterated its support to theright of Hong Kong peopleto protest peacefully.

"The ties that bindCanada and Hong Kong rundeep. With many youngHong Kong residents cast-

ing their eyes abroad, wewant them to choose Cana-da," Press Secretary to theMinister of Immigration,Refugees & Citizenship,Alexander Cohen said in anemail. "That's why we'vemade extensive efforts tohelp Hong Kongers cometo Canada." But Alex Ra-Lee of Alliance CanadaHong Kong (ACHK), anadvocacy group, said: "thenew policies [in Canada],while quite generous forthose with a university edu-cation, do little in the wayof humanitarian support forHong Kongers fleeing per-secution". Al Jazeera fur-ther reported that in order tobe considered for Canada'spermanent residency pro-

gramme, a Hong Kong res-ident needs to have a mini-mum of one year of workexperience in Canada andmeet language and educa-tion requirements, or havegraduated from a recog-nised post-secondaryschool in Canada.

Meanwhile, people liv-ing in Hong Kong currentlycannot travel to Canada dueto coronavirus travel re-strictions. Ra-Lee saidCanada provides little sup-port for asylum seekers try-ing to leave Hong Kong,which he explained has be-come a difficult process,and urged the governmentto process asylum applica-tions in Hong Kong as op-posed to waiting for some-

one to arrive at the border."Many Hong Kongers

are having their passportsand other travel documentsseized by Chinese authori-ties, which makes it per-ilous for them to try andleave Hong Kong," he said.

Ra-Lee said he thinks100,000 to 200,000 peoplewould apply for the newstudy permits in Canada be-cause the country "has al-ways been an attractive op-tion for students from HongKong".

He added, however,that Ottawa must also thinkabout providing support fornewcomers to settle in thecountry. China imposed thedraconian National Securi-ty Law in Hong Kong last

year. The law criminalisessecession, subversion, andcollusion with foreignforces and carries with itstrict prison terms. It cameinto effect from July 1.Since then, a number of for-mer pro-democracy law-makers have been arrested.

The UK governmenthas launched a 43 millionpound (USD 59.6 million)package to support BritishNational (Overseas) fami-lies that settle in the coun-try, funding local councilsnationwide to help the newarrivals from Hong Kongwith housing, educationand employment who areescaping the region sinceChina imposed the dracon-ian security law. According

to South China MorningPost (SCMP), the scheme,announced on Thursday,comes after UK Prime Min-ister Boris Johnson spoketo four Hong Kong familiesthat moved to the countryon a special visa for thosewith BN(O) status lastmonth.

The visa's launch inJanuary sparked a diplo-matic row, with China say-ing it would stop recognis-ing BN(O) passports astravel and identificationdocuments. Beijing also ac-cused Britain of "obstinate-ly and repeatedly hyping upthe BN(O) passport issue tointerfere in Hong Kong af-fairs and China's internalaffairs".

Tokyo adopts tougher virus rules,starts vaccinating elders

Tokyo adopted toughermeasures against thecoronavirus Monday as

it struggles to curb the rapidspread of a more contagiousvariant ahead of the Olympicsin a country where less than 1per cent of people have beenvaccinated.

Japan started its vaccina-tion drive with medical work-ers and expanded Monday toolder residents, with the firstshots being given in about 120selected places around thecountry. The tougher COVID-19 rules, just three weeks aftera state of emergency ended inthe capital, allow Tokyo's gov-ernor to mandate shorter open-ing hours for bars and restau-rants, punish violators andcompensate those who com-ply. The measures remainthrough May 11.

The status was also raisedfor Kyoto in western Japan andthe southern island prefectureof Okinawa, where cases havesurged in recent weeks. Thenear-emergency status there isto continue through May 5, theend of Japan's Golden Weekholidays, to discourage travel-ing. Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike

has asked residents to avoidnonessential trips and practicesocial distancing. She askedbars and restaurants in manyareas of the prefecture to closeat 8 p.m. An elder care home indowntown Tokyo was amongthe locations where vaccineswere being administered Mon-day. But Koike urged residentsto buckle up and be cautiouswhile vaccinations are in anearly stage. We are still un-armed as we fight against theresurgence of the infections,Koike said. Please follow theguidelines. Health officialsalso will patrol bars and restau-rants to ensure safety measuresare observed, and testing willbe increased at elderly care fa-

cilities. The alert status hadbeen raised a week ago for patsof western prefectures of Osa-ka and Hyogo, as well asMiyagi in the north. Fifteencities in the six prefectures, in-cluding downtown Tokyo, arenow under elevated virusmeasures.

The non-binding emer-gency ended in the Tokyo areaon March 21. Tokyo's return tothe alert status Monday under-scores the difficulty of balanc-ing anti-virus measures and theeconomy. Suga's governmenthas been criticized for beingtoo slow in enacting anti-virusmeasures out of a reluctance tofurther damage the pandemic-hit economy.

KISS is the world's largest residential tribalUniversity, home to thirty thousand indige-nous students who are provided nutrition,

holistic formal & vocational education from KG toPG absolutely free of cost. It was established in1992-93 by renowned educationist & social ac-tivist Prof Dr. Achyuta Samanta. Further it is theembodiment of empowerment of the marginal-ized, underprivileged group of students who havebecome change agents for their communities byproviding emancipation from acute povertythrough education.

Human life is full of strange coincidences &experiences. Men undergo various ups & downs& its aftereffects due to the ever changing situa-tions. These may be the steps to achieve mile-stones in life. While facing life's challenges, some-times people lose their footings. But they have to

get up & strive forward with new zeal. Man pre-pares himself again with hope for the future. Whilefighting for survival, man may lose or win life'smany battles. Sorrow & joy are his very intimatepartners in this long journey of life. Hence we candefine life as a conglomerate of strange yet event-

ful experiences. The protagonist of this story, is aboy named Jitendra, from the small, remote vil-lage of Renu, of Mohona Block in Gajapati districtof Odisha. The village is surrounded by denseforests & hills. Poverty rules here.

The innocent & simple tribals of this villagesatiate their hunger by eating mango kernels. Ji-tendra's parents Ram & Raji Majhi belong to theKandha community of this village. They have sixchildren. His father Ram cultivates his small pieceof land & could make both ends meet with lot ofdifficulty. It was practically impossible on part ofRam Majhi to support the education of his childrenwith his meagre income. Yet, he got his fourthchild Jitendra admitted into class-V in KISS withlots of hopes & aspirations. At KISS, Jitendra wonevery body's heart with his polite behaviour. Timepassed by Jitendra was promoted to class-X. He

excelled in studies & topped his class throughout.In addition to academic brilliance, he took part inextracurricular activities like Junior Red cross &took part in state level parade. He also won prizesfor essay writing & story telling sponsored byUNICEF. His achievements did not stop here.

He won the district level elocution competi-tion. He also participated in the state level Scienceexhibition & adjudged as a child scientist. Jitendragives credit to Prof. Samanta & his teachers atKISS for all his success. KISS has given wings toall his childhood dreams. He aspires to join thecivil services & serve the society. Jitendra hasreached the many milestones of his life becauseof the continued support of KISS. The father fig-ure in Prof. Samanta has made him forget his dis-tressed past. KISS has supported his endeavours& helped him preserve his unique culture. He is

happy that here at KISS he could find the oppor-tunity to promote his Arts, music & craft. He oweshis every success to his almamater. Further hehas become a role model for other poor boys &girls of his community. Jitendra is a spiritual per-son at heart & thinks of achieving the impossiblethrough the grace of Lord Jagannath.

He wants to take care of his siblings & makehis parents proud. KISS has taught him to laydown his life for the sake of the motherland & hiscommunity. Had it not been for KISS, he wouldhave been nowhere. No doubt, KISS has givenhim a new life & hope for the future. He is now acommitted & sincere student studying in +3 Sci-ence stream at KISS. It is said that "Pen is might-ier than the sword". The hand that could have heldan AK-47 & taken lives of many, is today holdinga pen & contributing in the nation building

process. KISS has been instrumental in breakingthe chain of violence, underdevelopment , pover-ty & building tomorrow's change agents who areworking for their communities to bring back peo-ple from the path of violence, drowsing flames ofinsurgency & build a life of progress. This hasagain proved the fact that education empowers anindividual for a better productive life. This is anunique effort to achieve zero hunger, zero pover-ty & zero illiteracy.

Sustainable development has been at thecore of KISS programmes since the very begin-ning. It is also shared by the students to have a vi-sion for a world free from poverty, hunger and illit-eracy.

EDITORIALRomeo at risk:Yogi in Bengal

The message conveyed by electoral campaigns inIndia has undergone a sea change. YogiAdityanath’s election speeches in West Bengal

illustrate this best. As it is, campaign speeches, espe-cially those of certain leaders of the Bharatiya JanataParty, contain almost as many implicit threats aspromises. The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, one ofthe party’s star campaigners, seems to believe thatthreats are promises. In one of his electoral speechesin Bengal, he flaunted the fact that posters of alleged‘rioters’were put up and their property confiscated af-ter protests in UP against the citizenship laws. Sincehe was condemning the West Bengal chief minister’sso-called ‘appeasement’ politics that presumably al-lowed cow slaughter and cow smuggling to continue— Bengal has no law against cow slaughter — thepurpose of polarizing two communities was perfectlyclear. It seems that Mr Adityanath would like to do toBengal what he has done in UP at the cost of democ-racy, equality and the law. In Mr Adityanath’s vision,religious discrimination meets gender oppression. Notonly did he harp on the increase in Bengal of ‘love ji-had’ against which UP now has a law — Parliamentfound the phenomenon non-existent — but he alsopromised an ‘anti-Romeo’ squad to ‘protect’ womenlike the one in UP. Predictably, young people and ac-tivists in Bengal are loudly critical of the threat towomen’s autonomy, interference in relationships, en-couragement to the forces of male domination and theinvitation to harassment. These go to the heart of MrAdityanath’s governance. Members of the anti-Romeo squad were accused of harassing couples, mo-lesting women, even a child in one case, of extortionand, reportedly, a murder. The law against love jihadis being used against men of the minority communityin inter-community unions even when the woman is aconsenting adult. That UP ranked first in the countryin crimes against women in 2019 according to the Na-tional Crime Records Bureau shows that the measures‘promised’ by Mr Adityanath open up the primroseway to discrimination and crime, whether for agentsof the State or for non-State actors under their patron-age. Should his electoral promises be fulfilled, womenand particular communities and castes — UP has animpressive record of crimes against Dalits — wouldbecome the favourite targets of oppression in Bengal.

Study finds treatment for braindisease transmitted by tick bites

The findings of a new study de-scribe antibodies capable ofneutralizing the virus transmit-

ted by tick bites. These so-calledbroadly neutralizing antibodies haveshown promise in preventing Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in mice andcould inform the development of bet-ter vaccines for humans.

Further, preliminary results sug-gest that the antibodies may not onlyprevent tick-borne encephalitis buteven treat the condition, as well as therelated Powassan virus emerging inthe United States. Tick-borne en-cephalitis is a disease just as nasty asit sounds.

Once bitten by an infected tick,some people develop flu-like symp-toms that resolve quietly but leave be-hind rampant neurological disease--brain swelling, memory loss, andcognitive decline. Cases are on therise in Central Europe and Russiawith some 10,000 incidents reportedeach year. Vaccines can provide pro-tection, but only for a limited time.There is no cure. Lead author Mari-anna Agudelo and colleagues in thelaboratory of Rockefeller's Michel C.Nussenzweig examined nearly 800antibodies obtained from individualswho had recovered from TBE or hadbeen vaccinated to prevent infection.The most potent antibodies, designat-

ed VH3-48, turned out to be best suit-ed to fend off future infections. Theyfound that VH3-48 neutralized lab-grown varieties of the TBE virus, aswell other tick-borne illnesses includ-ing the Langat, Louping ill, Omsk he-morrhagic fever, Kyasanur forest dis-ease, and Powassan viruses.The re-searchers also showed that thesepowerful antibodies are not common;in fact, most of the antibodies pro-duced by humans exposed to TBEvirus are of inferior quality, with thecoveted VH3-48 antibodies makingonly occasional appearances. More-over, vaccinated patients in the studydid not manage to develop any VH3-48 antibodies at all. "You'd expect themost prevalent antibodies to be theabsolute best, but that is not what wefound in TBE," Agudelo says.

Speaking about the first time he heard about doing a series featuring Falcon and Winter Soldier, actor Anthony Mackie said, “I was surprised—and confused because we hadn't done any series before. It was jarring because I didn't know what to expect. As it came together and as I started reading the scripts, I was very happy with what they were able to put together with the characters and the storylines. I feel like they gave me the best product they could to do the best work I could.”Explaining why he was both excited and hesitant when he first heard about the series, actor Sebastian Stan said, “I was really excited, obviously, because it felt new in the sense that we were really going to get a chance to explore these characters in ways we haven't seen before. And that was exciting. I think I was also a little bit hesitant, too, you can't really ignore everything that's happened in the past ten years.

CHANDIGARH: Vedanta, India’s largest producer of aluminium and its value-added products,has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for value-creation from bauxite residue (red mud), which is a by-product generated during processing of bauxite into alumina using the Bayer process. Bauxite is the primary ore for aluminium, that undergoes an intermediate refining stage to produce alumina, which then undergoes electrolysis for producing aluminium. Abundantly available on earth’s crust, mining of bauxite is one of the most inherently sustainable mining processes. Approximately three tonnes of bauxite produce one tonne of alumina, and around two tonnes of alumina are required to produce one tonne of aluminium.

mritsar,: On the occasion of World Health Day, the Apollo Hospitals Group, Asia’s largest and most Atrusted healthcare group, unveiled a report on the

Health of the Nation that puts a spotlight on how the last two decades have seen a steady rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The contribution of NCDs as the top causes of death in India has risen to a staggering 64.9% as compared to communicable diseases, maternal and other causes that dropped to 25%. The study provides a unique perspective drawn from Apollo Hospitals’ 37 years of experience and its vast footprint across the country and underlines how Artificial Intelligence and Big data analytics can help to predict risk and prevent NCDs. Given the pandemic, this is also important as individuals with NCDs such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and chronic liver disease have a greater mortality risk from COVID-19. Dr Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “Even before the pandemic began, we have been facing an unacceptable loss of lives due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The silent epidemic of NCDs was evident with NCDs behind 40% of all hospital stays. However, in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, the data from our Health of the Nation report made it clear that we have let another epidemic slip, the epidemic of NCDs – the impact of which we are already beginning to see around us.
