Bullet train will pass through five Bihar cities, announcement expected soon

-

Indian Railways is in full swing to launch the bullet train on the Varanasi-Howrah route. The bullet train will pass through many cities of Bihar and Jharkhand.

According to railway authorities, the high speed train will connect five cities of Bihar.

An official announcement is expected soon.

After the announcement of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project the demand for the same in Bihar was increasing. The proposed Varanasi-Howrah high speed rail corridor will be laid through the Varanasi-Patna-Bardhaman-Howrah route.

It is expected that this corridor will pass through Buxar, Arrah, Patna, Bihar Sharif and Nawada cities of Bihar.

The survey for the 760 kilometre Varanasi-Howrah high speed rail corridor was undertaken in October. Survey was also conducted in the Dhanbad section in Jharkhand.

The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited is planning the route for this upcoming project. The speed of the bullet train will be 350 km per hour, which will help to complete this long distance journey in a few hours.

After the launch of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train in 2017 the people of Bihar were demanding for a similar high speed train in their state.

Now it seems the demand for bullet train for Bihar will be fulfilled soon.

Indian Railways is also planning to start this high speed train service in various cities across the country.

The railway may also announce the bullet train from New Delhi to Patna in near future.

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
