Haryana clashes: Nuh SP Varun Singla transferred to Bhiwani, IPS Narendra Bijarniya to replace him

-

The Superintendent of Police (SP) of Haryana’s Nuh district, Varun Singla, has been transferred to the state’s Bhiwani district.

Reportedly, Singla was on leave when the violent clashes broke out in Nuh on Monday during a Vishva Hindu Parishad Rally.

The SP’s transfer copy was issued late on Thursday stating that he has been transferred to the district of Bhiwani.

IPS officer Narendra Bijarniya, currently Nuh’s acting SP, has replaced Varun Singla.

At the beginning of the rally, Bijarniya was rushed from Bhiwani to Nuh owing to Singla’s leave of absence.

Also, the SP of Palwal Lokendra Singh was given additional charge to monitor the situation in Nuh during the rally, according to a report by India Today.

Before transferring to Bhiwani, Singla said on Thursday, “Light arson has been done in one mosque while short circuit seems to be the reason for the fire in the other. The police took control of the situation and are conducting raids to nab the suspects.”

Muslim community to not attend Friday namaz

Mufti Saleem Qasmi, president of Jamiat Ulama in Gurugram, has appealed to the Muslim community via a video message not to attend prayer meets in public places or gather in mosques to offer namaz.

Meanwhile, heavy security has been deployed around Jama Masjid in Gurugram’s Sadar Bazar following an incident where a mosque in Nuh was set on fire.

3-member SIT formed to oversee investigation

A three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to oversee the probe into the communal clashes in the Nuh district of Haryana.

Security has been intensified in Nuh. On Thursday, paramilitary forces conducted a flag march in Nuh after a curfew was imposed in the district following the clashes. Streets wore a deserted look due to the curfew imposed in the area.

Till now, 176 arrests have been made for the communal clashes that first broke out on Monday during a Hindu religious procession in Nuh district, after rumours spread that the absconding cow vigilante Monu Maneser, a key accused in Bhiwani killings, would also attend the event.

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
