Active case pool crosses three lakh mark
COVID-19 transmission is continuing relentlessly in the State and the State logged 51,739 new cases on Thursday, when 1,16,003 samples were tested in the past 24 hours.
The State’s active case pool, which crossed the three lakh mark on Wednesday, now stands at 3,09,489. Of these patients, 3.6% are currently admitted to hospitals or field hospitals.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
