Mumbai: Fantastic knocks by David Miller (62 off 43) and Chris Morris (36* off 18) led Rajasthan Royals to a dramatic three-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in the seventh match of the IPL 2021 at Wankhede Stadium, here on Thursday.
Rajasthan Royals restricted the Delhi Capitals to 147 for 8 in 20 overs after opting to field first. Skipper Rishabh Pant top scored for DC with a 32-ball 52.
Chasing a modest total, RR were off to a bad start as Chris Woakes removed openers Manan Vohra (9) and Jos Buttler (1) in the third over.
Kagiso Rabada dismissed the dangerous Royals captain Sanju Samson in the next over, leaving RR in the deep trouble. Soon after, Shivam Dube (2) and Riyan Parag (2) also got out as Royals were reeling at 52 for 5 at the halfway mark.
However, Miller and Rahul Tewatia (19) kept the Royals in the hunt with a 48-run stand for the sixth wicket before Rabada came back to give the much-needed breakthrough for the Capitals.
The Royals needed 58 runs in the last 5 overs with Morris and Unadkat at the crease. Both Morris and Unadkat took on DC’s fast bowlers as well as kept their cool.
In the end, Morris smashed 4 sixes in the last 2 overs to help get Rajasthan their first victory of the season.

After Stoinis’ wicket, Pant stitched a 51-run partnership with debutant Lalit Yadav. Pant reached to his fifty off 30 balls in the 12th over, with a four off Mustafizur but he was run out the next over, thanks to direct hit from Riyan Parag.
After Pant’s exit, Tom Curran (21 off 16) and Chris Woakes (15 off 11) tried to get big runs in the death overs and gave some respectability to the DC innings.

Leh: The authorities in the Union Territory of Ladakh Thursday said that with the resurgence of COVID-19 cases across the country amid high intensity of the second wave, there is a steep rise in cases in Ladakh as well while 85 per cent of the 985 active cases in the region are non-UT residents.

District Magistrate Leh Shrikant Balasaheb Suse while addressing a news conference said the main factor for rise in positive cases are the outsiders including the laborers and tourists. “Of the total active positive cases, 85 per cent are the outsiders while the 15 per cent are locals tested on arrival at the airport”, he said.

He said the capacity of dedicated Covid Care centers facilities have been increased. “We have 700-bed capacities while 450 beds are vacant. We are fully prepared in case there is more spike of positive cases while a sufficient amount medicine has been made available. There are only 5 micro containment zones in the Leh”.

The DM said that squads are active everywhere to keep a vigil on the activities at all the places including the public places to ensure there is no violation of SOP’s.

The District Magistrate Leh said that scanning mechanism is available at the airport and the volume of RTPCR tests has been increased to 70 per cent with a result more positive cases have come to the fore while the road scanning has also be ensured. “Manali road which is scheduled to reopen will also have a good amount of scanning for passengers”.

Avoid Non-COVID-19 Toll

Precious Kashmir

15/04/2021

Jammu and Kashmir in the last fortnight saw an alarming addition of around 10000 covid-19 infections. About 6000 of these infections got added up in the last one week alone and during the time, the highest single-day record was also breached. The situation, as has been stated by experts and officials at the helm of affairs, is alarming. It comes at a time when health infrastructures are groaning under the weight of the highly ravaging virus, the second wave of which seems more serious and severe than last year.

SKIMS Soura, a tertiary care hospital, has already put off surgeries and procedures of “non-emergency” nature. In other words, patients including those suffering from chronic kidney disease, having growing tumor inside a vital organ, diabetes affecting entire metabolism, lethal clots waiting to be located, or those having weakening cardiac performance will have to wait as they fall under non-emergent nature and thus have to hang around for the covid-19 situation to get better.

While it is a fact that patients with contagious virus demand immediate attention, an equally grim truth is that around two out of three deaths in India occur on account of non-communicable diseases as has been established by a recent study by the Thought Arbitrage Research Institute. It found that at least 10 per cent of the population across 21 states suffers from non-communicable diseases. In the last two decades, diseases such as diabetes, digestive ailments and hypertension have claimed more lives in India than infectious illnesses have.

It is also true that contributors to the problem include an ageing population, rapid urbanization sans modernized hygiene systems, urban congestion on account of migration as well as climate change, but little attention is also proving detrimental. Amid the situation like the present one, there is an urgent need for awareness initiatives, informing, for instance, a diabetic patient what is needed to be done or what is to be avoided strictly. It is imperative to shed an unrelenting light on such diseases to stop them kill silently.

Also, it is imperative that some kind of alternative mechanism is established which takes care of the patients falling under non-emergent nature.

As has been pointed out and rightly so by the Doctors Association Kashmir, most chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, heart, lung, liver and kidney disease require monitoring and drug dose modifications. Leaving such patients unattended can end up in severe complications. Management of both covid-19 patients and those bracketed under non-emergent nature should be managed efficiently to avoid high cost.

Khushal Sar starts breathing again: Over 1000 trucks of trash lifted in 2 months

By: Gul Owais

Srinagar: Locals with the active support of the government have finally succeeded in lifting the garbage from the once famed Khushal Sar Lake here in Srinagar and have managed to lift over 1000 trucks of trash from the water body since February 21 this year.

Manzoor Ahmad Wangnoo a noted Kashmiri businessman and Chairman of Nigeen Lake Conservation Organization (NLCO), who is leading the movement to clean the water body said that in the last two months, they have completed almost 85 per cent of the cleaning process. “Over 1000 trucks of trash have been removed so far from the once famed lake,” he added.

“The piles of garbage that could be seen removed is enough to point out that how much work has been completed so far,” he said, adding that in the last two months, people have got much more aware and realization has finally dawned among them.

“Until and unless we will not cooperate the water bodies can never be preserved,” he said, adding that the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), which is actively helping them in this initiative, has been lifting nearly 15-20 trucks of trash everyday from the spot.

“The lake has finally started breathing again and 85 per cent of the work has got completed. It is hoped that the rest 15 percent of the work will be completed within next one month,” Wangnoo said.

Meanwhile, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC), Syed Abdul Haneif Balkhi while talking to Precious Kashmir about the movement, appreciated the efforts and said that such efforts will help in restoring the glory and beauty of the once famed lake.

Dr Balkhi said the Lake is a lifeline for two other Lakes, which are connected with it, but due to continuous disposal of waste items and garbage in the lake it has become polluted and he has directed for a speedy cleanliness efforts into it and very soon it will look like a beautiful lake.

“There is a need to support this initiative. We can even contribute by not throwing the garbage into the water bodies,” he said, adding that once the water bodies are clean, the atmosphere will be fine obviously.

China eyeing Indian Ocean, warns Naval Chief

New Delhi: China’s intention is to replicate carrier battle groups like the US Navy with the addition of more aircraft carriers and accompanying them with a fleet of support ships and destroyers, Indian Navy chief, Admiral Karambir Singh, said on Wednesday, pointing out the rapid expansion of naval power by Beijing.

Replying to a query during the Raisina Dialogue 2021 on China adding more aircraft carriers to its fleet and its plans to deploy them in the Indian Ocean Region, Admiral Singh said, “We have seen regular naval Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean Region for over a decade now. If China looks West from where it is, its energy, markets and resources are located to the West. So, it won’t be surprising if it soon comes into the Indian Ocean, as there is a saying that the flag follows the trade.”

The Navy chief was speaking on the topic ‘Samudra Manthan: The Indo-Pacific in Churn’.

Currently, China is building its third and largest aircraft carrier to take forward military modernisation plans amid a number of territorial and maritime disputes. In 2019, China had launched its second aircraft carrier, the Shandong, the first to be built at home. It joined the Liaoning, which was developed by retrofitting a Soviet-era cruiser commissioned in 2012.

The PLA Navy is working towards six aircraft carriers, with two likely to be deployed in China’s near seas, including for the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, two for the Western Pacific and two for the Indian Ocean.

The Navy chief said that in the Indian Ocean Region, Indian Navy’s aim is to be a ‘Preferred Security Partner’. “Be credible and forward-leaning in our engagements, be first responders,” he said.

Admiral Singh also talked about shunning transactional nature of engagements, working with regional navies to build their capacities to secure their interests, as also working with like-minded navies to build interoperability and trust.

Talking about Quad, an informal security forum comprising India, the US, Japan and Australia, Admiral Singh said that as far as the military part is concerned, navies of Australia, Japan, the US and India already enjoy a high degree of interoperability.

“If an opportunity arises, we have the capability and capacity to come together in an almost plug and play mechanism,” he said.

On Indo-Pacific, the Navy chief said: “Given the expanse of the Indo-Pacific, no one can do it alone. Expanse is an incentive for nations to work together. Indian Navy is ready to do its bit to contribute to security and stability. We can build collective maritime competence, and learn from each other.”

He said that there is also a natural desire among most nations in the region to cooperate and collaborate for greater prosperity. “Indo-Pacific provides tremendous opportunities for issue based convergences. Convergence, as you know, can lead to cohesion,” he said.

The Navy chief said akin to the mythological ‘Samudra Manthan’, “we can work together and extract many treasures and ultimately extract the ‘Amrit’ (heavenly nectar)”.

“There exist many avenues for maritime nations in the Indo-Pacific to come together and ensure that the ocean churn should benefit all,” he said.

“So I remain positive of what the churn in the Indo-Pacific would bring to the region, and to the world at large,” said the Navy chief, adding, “When we look at the Indo-Pacific, what stands out is its predominant maritime character, and we know that oceans connect, they don’t divide.”

“And, therefore, the opportunities for cooperation, to my mind, can outweigh the challenges that we face. There is also a natural desire among most nations in the region to cooperate and collaborate for greater prosperity,” he concluded.
