Talking about Delhi: Corona Mock Drill even though there is no danger in the country

New Delhi: Questions have been raised against the central government ordering all the states of the country to organize a mock drill on December 27 to check the health facilities available in their respective states. Medical experts are calling this quayat like buffalo bhagole, chasa chugola and commotion in the house. He is of the opinion that mock drills do not make sense when there is still a threat of Corona in India. According to him, there is no need to make such a big spectacle for it, which can be verified by calling for a report from each state government.

According to experts, this kind of drill will also spread panic among the people. On one hand, the government itself is saying that there is no threat of corona in India and on the other hand, mock drills will be conducted, so people will feel that the government is hiding the reality. Such mock drills will also waste the time of the health workers.

Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, in a letter to the secretaries of states and union territories, has asked them to check whether there are adequate health facilities in all the districts geographically.

Appreciation for Rahul Vajpayee's visit to Samadhi

Rahul Gandhi, while addressing the public from the Red Fort in Delhi, has sparked a new debate by accusing the media of spreading hatred by acting at the behest of the central government. Rahul said that the media spreads hatred round the clock in the name of Hindu-Muslim but I have seen in my journey that there is brotherhood among people in the country. Everyone loves each other. Rahul also clarified that it is not the media's fault as outside forces are controlling them. Hate is spreading because people are not paying attention to the real problems.

Rahul visited former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's mausoleum on Sunday and paid his respects. The courtesy shown by Rahul is also being appreciated.

Many people are supporting Rahul's words in the media. He believes that the print media largely still adheres to the principles of journalism and speaks about the country's problems, but most TV channels focus on the Hindu-Muslim issue and allow themselves to be used for specific political agendas.

Instructions to states to arrange oxygen

The central government, which has woken up by seeing the threat of Corona increasing worldwide, has expressed concern about the oxygen condition in the states. The Health Ministry has written to the state governments and ordered all states to ensure that there is no shortage in oxygen supply. It has also been ordered to keep ventilators and oxygen supply machines in good condition. During the second wave of Corona, a large number of people died due to lack of oxygen, so the government does not want to take any chances.

The central government has made RT-PCR test mandatory for passengers coming from five countries namely China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand. Any passenger showing symptoms of Kovid-19 or testing positive will be quarantined.

Sources of the government say that at present there are as many new cases as buses of Corona in 24 hours and there are only three and a half thousand active cases in India, but the government does not want to take any chances. The government is alert so that the scandal that happened during the first phase of Corona does not happen.

States do not have enough IAS-IPS

There are thousands of vacancies in the ministries and departments of the central government, but the new shocking revelation is that all the vacancies of IAS and IPS officers are not filled all over the country.

A total of 6789 posts of IAS officers while 4984 posts of IPS officers have been sanctioned across the country. Out of them, more than 2300 i.e. 20 percent seats are vacant. There is not a single state in the country where all the sanctioned posts of IAS and IPS officers are filled. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions of the Central Government has given this information.

This has been repeatedly presented by the states. Lack of high officials leads to delays in administrative work and difficulty in maintaining law and order.

Caution of states regarding labor laws

West Bengal, Meghalaya and Nagaland have not released draft rules to implement any of the four new labor laws framed by the central government. Some states have promulgated draft rules for some of the four laws, but not all. No state has promulgated final regulations regarding these four labor-laws. According to some labor leaders and MPs, following the advice of trade unions who consider the Centre's laws anti-labour, the states are showing laxity in promulgating the rules. Parliament has incorporated 29 laws related to workers into four new laws. The opposition alleges that the bill regarding the above four new laws has been passed without sufficient discussion. The Union Ministry of Labor had released draft rules for all these laws in 2020 and sought public feedback. Since labor and workers are a subject that touches both the center and the states, the states were made aware of these rules, so that they can make similar rules.
