With rising COVID cases, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to meet States’ Health Ministers on April 7
With COVID cases showing an upward trend, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya is scheduled to have a meeting with Health Ministers of all States and Union Territories on Friday, according to sources.
Earlier this week, the COVID empowerment working group also conducted a review meeting and said that India needed to be alert and not worried.
“Currently, the sub-variant of Omicron, which is circulating in the country, hasn’t increased hospitalisation,” Mr. Mandaviya said on the COVID-19 situation in the country.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
