The Pandemic

Late last month, as reported by The Indian Express, a senior Central official had said that West Bengal requires “further hand-holding” in clinical management of the rising tide of coronavirus patients. This has now proven true for the Bengal administration after its experts red-flagged several “deficiencies” that need “urgent correction”, prompting the government to issue a series of advisories to hospitals across the state.

“Jo business bacha tha, vo bhi khatam ho jayega.” Under lockdown again, every conversation in Bihar’s Bhagalpur now veers between fear of the disease, and fear of penury. A member of the management staff of a now shut city hotel says, “Anyway, we had few customers but it was increasing slightly. Now those who had booked have cancelled, and many left yesterday. Who will believe it will not shut again after July 16?”

Defending the Maharashtra government’s refusal to revisit the UGC order, Environment and Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday held that it is potentially hazardous for colleges to hold final year exams given the high number of Covid cases in the state. “We were in lockdown when we had about 600 cases [in March]. Today, when the country has about 7 lakh cases, we are actually asking children to go out in a congregation and take exams,” he told The Indian Express.
