Delhi four steps ahead of coronavirus: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi (NVI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today assured that his government is four steps ahead of the coronavirus and is more than prepared to tackle the pandemic.

While addressing a virtual media briefing, the Delhi Chief Minister said, “The national capital cannot have a permanent lockdown, even as the city has been witnessing a surge in coronavirus cases.”

“We agree that the city has seen a huge spike in the number of coronavirus cases. But we should not panic. The situation in Delhi would be worrying for me in two scenarios – if the number of deaths increases and if there’s a shortage of hospital beds,” Kejriwal said.

So far, the Delhi government has arranged 2,100 additional beds for COVID-19 patients in a week’s time, the Chief Minister said. “We had 4,500 beds. Today, the city has 6,600 beds for the patients. By next week, we are planning to take this figure to 9,500,” he added.

Arvind Kejriwal also stated that an app with information on beds and ventilator vacancies in hospitals will be launched by Monday to help people avail the hospital facilities without hindrances.

He further urged the people to not trust fake news and be misled by fake videos.

So far, the total number of coronavirus cases has risen to 17,386 in Delhi with a total of 398 fatalities reported.

World Multiple Sclerosis Day 2020: Significance, meaning and importance

New Delhi (NVI): Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves. In MS, resulting nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body.

World Multiple Sclerosis Day is observed on May 30 every year. The aim of this day is to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis disorder and bring together the global MS community to share their stories.

World MS Day is the MS movement’s annual campaign to raise awareness of the condition, and to support and connect the 2.3 million people living with it worldwide.

MS is a disabling disease of the brain and the spinal cord. This leads to problems with balance, vision, and muscle control. The symptoms of MS can be different from one person to another.

Currently, there is no known cure for MS, but researchers have been doing their job and hoping to find one at the earliest.

World MS Day was first launched in 2009 by the MS International Federation (MSIF) that brings together the global Multiple Sclerosis community to share stories, educate and encourage each other.

There are various campaigns held and each campaign is developed in collaboration with an international group of member representatives, from the US, UK, Ireland, Argentina, Spain, Greece, Australia, India and Egypt.

Events and campaigns take place throughout the month of May. It brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with and for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many ways to participate in World MS Day, to raise awareness about the neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than 2.3 million people globally.

The theme for World MS day 2020 is ‘connections’ as in self-connection, building community connection, and connections for quality care. The tagline ‘I Connect, We Connect’ is used to spread awareness.

The MSIF (Multiple Sclerosis International Federation) is also focusing on connecting with the lawmakers for a better understanding of the importance of quality MS care.

PM talks of migrant workers’ suffering, India’s battle with Covid-19 in letter to nation

New Delhi (NVI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a letter to the nation on the occasion of the completion of one year of his government’s second term. In his open letter, PM Modi mentioned several initiatives, achievements and big decisions taken by his government, as well as the challenges and hardships faced by the migrant laborers during the coronavirus pandemic.

The PM wrote that it was after several decades that the people of the country voted back a full term government with a full majority. It is pertinent to mention here that PM Modi-led BJP government came back to power in 2019, after general elections to constitute the 17th Lok Sabha were held. Back in 2014 India general election, the BJP won 282 seats, leading the NDA to a tally of 336 seats in the 543-seat Lok Sabha. Narendra Modi was sworn in as the 14th Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014. Read full text of letter here

In his letter to the nation, PM Modi wrote that since 2014, India’s stature has rose significantly as the dignity of poor was enhanced through various schemes and initiatives like ‘Antyodaya’. He said that the nation has witnessed some major transformations in the last six years including “achieving financial inclusion, free gas and electricity connections, total sanitation coverage, and made progress towards ensuring ‘Housing for All’.”


Apart from this, he wrote, India demonstrated its mettle through the surgical strike and air strike. “At the same time, decades old demands such as OROP, One Nation One Tax- GST, better MSP for farmers were fulfilled,” he said.

PM further said that in the last one year, some of the decisions were widely discussed and remain etched in public discourse. He referred to the scrapping of Article 370, Triple Talaq and Supreme Court’s Ram Mandir judgment among major decisions taken in the last one year.

“The decision on Article 370 furthered the spirit of national unity and integration. The Ram Mandir judgment, delivered unanimously by the Honourable Supreme Court of India, brought an amicable end to a debate persisting for centuries. The barbaric practice of Triple Talaq has been confined to the dustbin of history. Amendment to the Citizenship Act was an expression of India’s compassion and spirit of inclusiveness,” PM wrote.

PM also mentioned the creation of the post of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). It was a long-pending reform that has improved coordination among the armed forces, he wrote.

He further mentioned Gaganyaan, India’s first manned space mission and said that the dedicated team of scientists at ISRO has stepped up preparations in this regard.

He said that empowering the poor, farmers, women and youth has remained the priority of his government. “PM Kisan Samman Nidhi now includes all farmers. In just one year, more than Rupees 72,000 crore has been deposited in the accounts of over 9 crore 50 lakh farmers. The Jal Jeevan Mission will ensure supply of potable drinking water through piped connections to over 15 crore rural households. A huge campaign of free vaccination is being conducted for better health of our 50 crore livestock,” he wrote.

“For the first time in our country’s history, farmers, farm labourers, small shopkeepers and workers in unorganised sector are assured the provision of regular monthly pension of Rs. 3000 after the age of 60 years,” PM added.

PM further said that several people-friendly laws have been ushered in during the last year. “Our Parliament has broken the decades-old record in terms of productivity. As a result, whether it be the Consumer Protection Act, the amendment to Chit Fund Law or laws to provide more protection to women, children and Divyang, their passage in the Parliament was expedited,” he wrote.

He said that the rural-urban gap is also shrinking as a result of the policies and decisions of the government. “For the first time, the number of rural Indians using the internet is 10% more than the number of urban Indians,” he said.

PM said that as the nation was moving ahead at a fast pace, the coronavirus pandemic brought almost everything to a halt.

“Many feared that India will become a problem for the world when Corona hits India. But today, through sheer confidence and resilience, you have transformed the way the world looks at us. You have proven that the collective strength and potential of Indians is unparalleled compared even to the powerful and prosperous countries of the world,” he wrote.

“Be it clapping and lighting a lamp to the honouring of Corona Warriors by India’s armed forces, Janta curfew or by faithful adherence to rules during the nationwide lockdown, on every occasion you have shown that Ek Bharat is the guarantee for ShresthaBharat,” he said.

He said that in a crisis of this magnitude, it can certainly not be claimed that no one suffered any inconvenience or discomfort. “Our labourers, migrant workers, artisans & craftsmen in small scale industries, hawkers and such fellow countrymen have undergone tremendous suffering.We are working in a united and determined way to alleviate their troubles,” he wrote.

“However, we have to take care to ensure that inconveniences that we are facing do not turn into disasters,” PM wrote while reiterating that it is very important for every Indian to follow all rules and guidelines.

“We have displayed patience so far and we should continue to do so. This is one of the important reasons for India being safer and in a better state than many other countries. This is a long battle but we have started traversing on the path of victory, and victory is our collective resolve,” PM said.

Modi also mentioned the super cyclone Amphan that has wreaked havoc in parts of West Bengal and Odisha in the last few days. “Here too, the resilience of the people of these states is noteworthy. Their courage inspires the people of India,” he said.

“At such a time, there is also a widespread debate on how the economies of various countries, including India’s, will recover,” PM wrote. He said that given the way India has surprised the world with its unity and resolve in the fight against Coronavirus, there is a firm belief that it will also set an example in economic revival. “In the economic domain, through their strength, 130 crore Indians can not only surprise the world but also inspire it,” he added.

The prime minister again reiterated that the need of the hour is to become self-reliant. “We have to move forward based on our own abilities, in our own way, and there is only one way to do it – Aatmanirbhar Bharat or Self-reliant India,” he wrote.

He also mentioned the Rs 20 lakh crore economic stimulus package for Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. “This initiative will usher in a new era of opportunities for every Indian, be it our farmers, workers, small entrepreneurs or youth associated with start ups,” he wrote.

PM further added that he is also aware that there is a lot that needs to be done. “There are many challenges and problems that our country faces. I am working day and night. There could be deficiencies in me but there is nothing that our country lacks. So, I believe in you, your strength and your abilities even more than I believe in myself,” he wrote in his letter to nation.

“Due to the global pandemic this is certainly a time of crisis but for us Indians this is also a time for a firm resolve,” he added.

Srinagar (NVI): Two militants were killed in an encounter with security forces in the wee hours today at south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, police said.

A police official said that acting on a specific lead, joint teams of forces including Police, Army and the CRPF laid a siege in Wanpora village of Qaimoh in Kulgam district late last night.

“Intense searches were conducted and when a suspected house was zeroed in, the militants present inside opened fire which was retaliated effectively. After establishing contact with the militants, firing stopped for many hours, but cordon ring was strengthened to ensure militants don’t flee,” he said, wishing not to be named.

He added that there was again an exchange of fire between militants and security forces and at almost an hour before the dawn, two unidentified militants were killed. A police spokesman in a statement also said that two unidentified militants were killed in Kulgam gunfight and that the operation was on.

Meanwhile, the authorities have snapped the mobile internet services on all platforms in Kulgam district as a precautionary measure to prevent any law and order situation.

Pertinently, the security agencies had launched a massive manhunt to track down the module behind the ‘car bomb’ that was detected and destroyed at Ayegund village of Rajpora, Pulwama, on Thursday.

The suicide bomber, whom police identified as Hidayatullah Malik, affiliated with Hizbul Mujahideen, had left behind the car laden with 45 kilograms of explosives at Ayegund village after jumping two nakas (check posts).

However, a massive manhunt has been launched to track down Malik and to catch him alive to unravel the entire plot.

Here is full text of PM Modi’s letter to nation

PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi

New Delhi (NVI): As his government completes one year of its second term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written an open letter to the nation, talking about several initiatives, achievements, challenges and big decisions taken by the Centre.

In his letter, the PM said that he has more confidence in the nation than in himself and that the world is witnessing how India has emerged victorious in its battle against the coronavirus.

Here is the full text of PM’s letter:

My fellow Indian,

This day last year began a golden chapter in the history of Indian democracy. It was after several decades that the people of the country voted back a full term government with a full majority.

Once again, I bow to the 130 crore people of India and the democratic ethos of our nation.

During normal times, I would have been in your midst. However, the present circumstances do not permit that. That is why, I seek your blessings through this letter.

Your affection, goodwill and active cooperation have given new energy, and inspiration. The way you have showcased the collective strength of democracy is a guiding light for the whole world.

Back in 2014, the people of the country voted for a substantive transformation. In the last five years, the nation saw how the administrative apparatus broke itself free of status quo and from the swamp of corruption as well as misgovernance. True to the spirit of ‘Antyodaya’ the lives of millions have been transformed.

From 2014 to 2019, India’s stature rose significantly. The dignity of the poor was enhanced. The nation achieved financial inclusion, free gas and electricity connections, total sanitation coverage, and made progress towards ensuring ‘Housing for All.’

India demonstrated its mettle through the surgical strike and air strike. At the same time, decades old demands such as OROP, One Nation One Tax- GST, better MSP for farmers were fulfilled.

In 2019, the people of India voted not merely for continuity but also with a dream- of taking India to new heights. A dream of making India a global leader. The decisions taken in the last one year are directed at fulfilling this dream.

Today, 130 crore people feel involved and integrated in the development trajectory of the nation. The light of ‘Jan Shakti’ and ‘Rashtra Shakti’ has ignited the entire nation. Powered by the Mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ India is marching forward in all spheres.

My fellow Indian,

In the last one year, some of the decisions were widely discussed and remain etched in public discourse.

The decision on Article 370 furthered the spirit of national unity and integration. The Ram Mandir judgment, delivered unanimously by the Honourable Supreme Court of India, brought an amicable end to a debate persisting for centuries. The barbaric practice of Triple Talaq has been confined to the dustbin of history. Amendment to the Citizenship Act was an expression of India’s compassion and spirit of inclusiveness.

But there have been many other decisions that have added momentum to the nation’s development trajectory.

The creation of the post of the Chief of Defence Staff  was a long pending reform that has improved coordination among the armed forces. At the same time, India has stepped up preparations for Mission Gaganyaan.

Empowering the poor, farmers, women and youth has remained our priority.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi now includes all farmers. In just one year, more than Rupees 72,000 crore has been deposited in the accounts of over 9 crore 50 lakh farmers.

The Jal Jeevan Mission will ensure supply of potable drinking water through piped connections to over 15 crore rural households.

A huge campaign of free vaccination is being conducted for better health of our 50 crore livestock.

For the first time in our country’s history, farmers, farm labourers, small shopkeepers and workers in unorganised sector are assured the provision of regular monthly pension of Rs. 3000 after the age of 60 years.

Besides the facility of availing bank loans, a separate department has also been created for fishermen. Several other decisions have been taken to strengthen the fisheries sector. This will boost the blue economy.

Similarly, it has been decided to constitute a Vyapari Kalyan Board for timely resolution of the problems of the traders. Higher quantum of financial assistance is being provided to more than 7 crore women attached to self help groups. Recently the loans without guarantee for self help groups has been doubled to 20 lakh from the earlier 10 lakh.

Keeping in mind the education of tribal children, we have begun the construction of more than 400 new Ekalavya Model Residential Schools.

Several people friendly laws have been ushered in during the last year. Our Parliament has broken the decades-old record in terms of productivity. As a result, whether it be the Consumer Protection Act, the amendment to Chit Fund Law or laws to provide more protection to women, children and Divyang, their passage in the Parliament was expedited.

As a result of the policies and decisions of the government, the rural-urban gap is shrinking. For the first time, the number of rural Indians using internet is 10% more than the number of urban Indians.

The list of such historic actions and decisions taken in national interest would be too long to detail in this letter. But I must say that every day of this year, my government has worked round the clock with full vigour, taking and implementing these decisions.

My fellow Indian,

As we were moving ahead at fast pace in the fulfilment of hopes and aspirations of our countrymen, the Coronavirus global pandemic engulfed our country as well.

While on one hand are powers with great economic resources and state-of-the-art healthcare systems, on the other hand is our country besieged with problems amidst a vast population and limited resources.

Many feared that India will become a problem for the world when Corona hits India. But today, through sheer confidence and resilience, you have transformed the way the world looks at us. You have proven that the collective strength and potential of Indians is unparalleled compared even to the powerful and prosperous countries of the world. Be it clapping and lighting a lamp to the honouring of Corona Warriors by India’s armed forces, Janta curfew or by faithful adherence to rules during the nationwide lockdown, on every occasion you have shown that Ek Bharat is the guarantee for ShresthaBharat.

In a crisis of this magnitude, it can certainly not be claimed that no one suffered any inconvenience or discomfort. Our labourers, migrant workers, artisans & craftsmen in small scale industries, hawkers and such fellow countrymen have undergone tremendous suffering.We are working in a united and determined way to alleviate their troubles.

However, we have to take care to ensure that inconveniences that we are facing do not turn into disasters. Hence, it is very important for every Indian to follow all rules and guidelines. We have displayed patience so far and we should continue to do so. This is one of the important reasons for India being safer and in a better state than many other countries. This is a long battle but we have started traversing on the path of victory, and victory is our collective resolve.

In the last few days, a super cyclone has wreaked havoc in parts of West Bengal and Odisha. Here too, the resilience of the people of these states is noteworthy. Their courage inspires the people of India.

Dear friends,

At such a time, there is also a widespread debate on how the economies of various countries, including India’s, will recover. However, given the way India has surprised the world with its unity and resolve in the fight against Coronavirus, there is a firm belief that we will also set an example in economic revival. In the economic domain, through their strength, 130 crore Indians can not only surprise the world but also inspire it.

It is the need of the hour that we must become self-reliant. We have to move forward based on our own abilities, in our own way, and there is only one way to do it – Aatmanirbhar Bharat or Self-reliant India.

The recent Rs 20 lakh crore package given for Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan is a major step in this direction.

This initiative will usher in a new era of opportunities for every Indian, be it our farmers, workers, small entrepreneurs or youth associated with start ups.

The fragrance of Indian soil along with the sweat, hard work and talent of our workers will create products that will reduce India’s dependence on imports and will move towards self-reliance.

Dear friends,

In this journey of the last six years, you have continuously showered me with love and blessings.

It is the strength of your blessings that has made the nation take historic decisions and progress rapidly in the last one year. However, I am also aware that there is a lot that needs to be done. There are many challenges and problems that our country faces. I am working day and night. There could be deficiencies in me but there is nothing that our country lacks. So, I believe in you, your strength and your abilities even more than I believe in myself.

The source of strength for my resolve is you, your support, blessings and affection.

Due to the global pandemic this is certainly a time of crisis but for us Indians this is also a time for a firm resolve.

We must always remember that the present and future of 130 crore Indians will never be dictated by an adversity.

We will decide our present and our future.

We will move ahead on the path of progress and victory will be ours.

It is said that- कृतम्मेदक्षिणेहस्ते, जयोमेसव्यआहितः

This means, if we have action and duty on one hand, then success is assured in the other hand.

With prayers for our country’s success, I bow to you once again.

My heartiest wishes to you and your family.

Stay healthy, stay safe!!!

Stay aware, stay informed!!!

Your Pradhan Sevak

Narendra Modi
