Man keeps up gas cylinder deliveries during Cyclone Biparjoy; gets praise from Minister Hardeep Singh Puri

-

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri expressed his admiration for an employee from a gas agency who went above and beyond the call of duty. During the devastating Cyclone Biparjoy, the employee delivered gas cylinders to a village in Rajasthan. Hardeep Singh Puri shared a video of the employee’s dedication to his job. He also penned a heartfelt message in Hindi, which loosely translates to, “The stove will keep burning, and the nation will keep progressing.” He added, “Ensuring energy availability. With commendable dedication towards duty, this undaunted foot soldier of India’s energy sector braves the impact of #Biparjoy to supply an #Indane refill at a consumer’s home in village Dhok in Barmer, Rajasthan.”

Hardeep Singh Puri’s words reflect the importance of ensuring energy availability and the role played by the resilient foot soldiers of India’s energy sector.

The video that was shared captures the employee’s unwavering determination to deliver an LPG cylinder to a village in Barmer, Rajasthan, despite facing torrential rain caused by Cyclone Biparjoy. The employee’s perseverance and willingness to go the extra mile despite the adverse conditions is truly praiseworthy.

During times of crisis, it is the individuals working in essential services who step up and play a vital role in ensuring the smooth functioning of society. They are the backbone of the Indian economy, serving the needs of the people. This incident displays their dedication and commitment.

Twitter users were quick to appreciate the dedication exhibited by the employee and voiced their concerns for the betterment of their working conditions.  Rajeev Chandrashekar, minister of state for information technology, commended the employee’s actions.

BJP MLA Khushu Sundar wrote, “Salute to this brave man. Duty comes first.”

Another person emphasised the undervalued and underpaid nature of the delivery personnel, highlighting their daily struggles.

Following its landfall in Gujarat, Cyclone Biparjoy made its way into Rajasthan through the adjoining areas of Jalore and Barmer. It reached on the stroke of midnight on June 16, taking the form of a ‘deep depression.’ On Saturday, June 17, several regions in Rajasthan experienced heavy showers as a result of the cyclone.

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
