Mamata Banerjee to counter BJP’s Hanskhali rape findings by TMC probe into Jahangirpuri riots in Delhi

-

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has decided to send an all-women fact-finding team to Delhi's Jahangirpuri where riots broke out on 16 April during a Hanuman Jayanti procession after a BJP panel indicted TMC government in Hanskhali rape case.

Incidentally, the BJP fact-finding team, that visited Bengal's Nadia district to get the ground report of Hanskhali gangrape, submitted its report to JP Nadda and recommended dissolution of her government in the state.

The Mamata Banerjee's fact-finding team will comprise of six MPs, who will visit Jahangirpuri on on Friday and speak to the people as well as enquire about the incident.

The decision to send team to Jahangirpuri also comes within days after the BJP sent similar teams to Bogtui in Birbhum district where nine people were burnt alive.

The BJP's fact-finding committee in its preliminary report on the Hanskhali gangrape and death case, recommended imposition of Article 355 and 356 in West Bengal. It also recommended that the Hanskhali rape case be transferred out of the state and accused to be kept outside state for fair trial.

"Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been constantly trying to suppress the incident of crime. The administration and TMC 'goons' are working constantly to erase all evidences in the case and therefore, they did not allow the postmortem of the minor gangrape victim," the committee said in its report.

Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury, one of the members of fact-finding committee alleged that all the evidence in the case has been erased from the victim's house to the crematorium by the administration. "Police are not working and there is an atmosphere of fear among the people of the village. The family members of the deceased do not even know whether she has been burnt or not. Family members are being threatened by the accused side," she added.

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
