Arunachal Scouts perform regimental song during CM Pema Khandu's visit; watch viral video here

-

A batch of Arunachal Scouts recently performed their regimental song for Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu during his visit to the Chuna area in Tawang. A video of the army jawans performing the song Uttar Purab se aaye hum naujawan, desh ki raksha karne aaya hai was recently shared by Khandu on social media and has gone viral.

The 2.03-minute video features the jawans singing their regimental song and clapping and moving their feet in time with the rhythm of the song.

According to Khandu, the song was first raised in the year 2010 at the instance of Khandu’s late father and former Arunachal Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and “was established to defend Indo-Tibet border.”

The video received a lot of appreciation from social media users, receiving over 32,000 views and 3,800 likes till date.

Many social media users were eager to join the Arunachal Scouts and showcase their mettle in defending the country.

Others were appreciative of the sacrifices made by the army in the defence of the country.

Some people said that listening to the song made them proud of their country and the army.

Arunachal Pradesh is a state of much strategic importance as it lies close to China. Khandu is on a three-day tour of the Tawang district presently.

This is not the only regimental song that has gone viral on social media at some point of time. The Indian army’s favourite marching song, Badluram ka badan zameen ke neeche hai, has often gone viral on the Internet with videos of Indian troops performing the Assam Regiment song being a favourite of Internet users.

A few years ago, the video of troops of the US and Indian army performing the song together went viral on social media.

The song is based on the story of Badluram, a soldier in the Assam Regiment, who was killed during the Second World War. However, his name was not struck off the rolls and his share of the ration continued to be supplied to the troops.

When the Assam Regiment was surrounded by Japanese troops in 1944 and cut off their supplies, it was the extra ration in Badluram’s name that kept the troops alive.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
