WATCH: Rapid Action Force conducts flag march in violence-hit Gurugram's Badshahpur

-

A day after communal clashes erupted in Haryana’s Nuh during a Vishwa Hindu Parishad rally and the violence spread to parts of Gurugram, Rapid Action Force (RAF) conducted flag march in Badshahpur where two shops were set ablaze by a mob on Tuesday.

The two shops in Badshapur, one of the four sub divisions of Gurugram district situated on Sohna Road, were set ablaze around 2 pm by an irate mob. According to nearby shopkeepers, both their occupants had already fled to their villages on Monday.

Meanwhile, denying claims that work from home for employees was imposed in Gurugram in light of clashes in Badshahpur, the Gurugram Police on Tuesday urged people not to spread rumours.

Taking to Twitter, police said that all offices in the city are open and in operation.

“We condemn such information spreading rumors..All offices are open and working, no restrictions on commuting anywhere within & out of gurugram. Appeal to everyone.. kindly refrain to spread rumors and misinformation please,” the post read.

However, schools, colleges, and other educational institutes will remain closed on Wednesday in Gurugram as per the order issued by District Magistrate Nishant Kumar Yadav.

According to media reports, citing Nuh SP, 26 FIRs have been filed in the case in the district and as many as 116 people have been arrested so far.

Section 144 is still on in the district and mobile internet services have been temporarily suspended.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday termed the Nuh violence as “unfortunate” and said the attack on a VHP procession was “well-planned which pointed to a larger conspiracy”.

Five people have been killed in the violence that erupted on Monday. Four people, including two home guards, died and many others injured in Nuh, where mobs tried to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) procession, while a naib imam was killed at a mosque in Gurugram.

“In a well-planned and conspiratorial manner, the attack was carried out in Nuh to disrupt the (Brij Mandal Jalabhishek) yatra and the police were also targeted, which points to a larger conspiracy,” Khattar said in a tweet in Hindi.

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
