PM Narendra Modi inaugurates Bundelkhand Expressway, says the identity of UP is changing in India

-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Bundelkhand Expressway on 16 July. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditayanath welcomed PM Modi in Jalaun.

According to PTI, the expressway has been built six months before the designated time and at an estimated cost of 14,850 crore. The expressway, built in 28 months, is a 296-km long expressway with four lanes.

According to India Today, with the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway, the journey to Delhi will become easier for the people of Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur and Jalaun Auraiya or Etawa.

In his address, Modi opened his speech with “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and congratulated the people of Bundelkhand during the inauguration of the new expressway.

“The expressway will ensure seamless connectivity and further economic progress in the region. With this expressway, there will be an industrial boom in the region. It is the Modi and Yogi government we will bring development not just to cities but to villages,” Modi added.

"This expressway will not only facilitate the people of Bundelkhand to reach Delhi, but will also accelerate industrial development," said Modi.

In his address, Modi said, "The land that produced countless warriors. Where devotion to India flows in the blood. Where the valor and hard work of sons and daughters have always illuminated the name of the country. It gives me special pleasure to give this gift of expressway."

The way UP is modernizing today under the double engine government, it is unprecedented, said Modi.

Modi also added that Uttar Pradesh has ‘outperformed good states.’

"The UP where the Saryu canal project took 40 years to complete. The UP where the Gorakhpur Fertilizer plant was closed for 30 years. In the UP where the Amethi Rifle Factory was lying with only one board. It has even outperformed good states," he added.

“We take any decision, take a decision, make a policy, the biggest thinking behind it should be that this will further accelerate the development of the country. Everything that harms the country, affects the development of the country, we have to keep it away,” Modi said in his speech.

Modi further added that the Uttar Pradesh government improved the law and order situation and connectivity.

“We improved both the law & order situation and connectivity in UP. The law & order situation is improving, so is connectivity,” PM Modi said.

Modi also said in his address, "Our government is working continuously to reduce another challenge of Bundelkhand. We are working on Jal Jeevan Mission to provide piped water to every household."

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
