to death on Friday for the rape
and murder of a nine-year-old
girl in 2019. She went missing

2019. She had just returned

Devendra, who had earlier
been convicted for sexual
assault on a minor, had not
been seen since the day of the
girl’s disappearance. A
manhunt was launched and he
was picked up from a house in
one corner of the sprawling
slum on April 5. After
sustained interrogation, he
confessed to having raped and
killed the girl and led the
police to her body, which he
had discarded in the septic
tank of a toilet in the slum.

way to run the chore. He
forced himself on her and
brutally killed her by dashing
her head against the wall. He
left the scene but returned
around 2 am the next
morning, when he carried the
body to the public toilet and
tossed it inside the septic
tank,” retired police inspector
Ashok Sawant, who was the
investigating officer of the
case, recalled.
This same attempt to destroy
evidence, however, provided the
police with their strongest piece
of evidence. Some of the
victim’s blood got on his clothes
while he was carrying her, and
when the police seized the
clothes he had been wearing at
the time, they still had her
blood on them. Samples were
sent to the Forensic Sciences
and CCTV footage of the both
of them together, all of which
nailed him,” Sawant said.
In cases of sexual assault, the
law places significant
importance on any evidence
that places the accused in the
victim’s immediate vicinity
during the time frame of the
assault.
The case had sparked off a
wave of fury throughout the
entire slum, and a mob of
around 15,000 residents had
gathered outside the Juhu
police station to voice their
anger. A video of then
Additional Commissioner of
Police (West region) Manoj

Mumbai has reported a five
per cent rise in tuberculo-
sis (TB) cases owing to de-
layed detection and report-
ing of cases from April 2021
to February 2022.
According to the Health
Management Information
System (HMIS) data, 5,562
cases have been reported in
Mumbai, which means dai-
ly 15 patients are being ad-
mitted to city hospitals for
treatment, compared to
5,298 cases which were re-
ported between April 2020
and March 2021. Officials
have attributed this slight
surge to several TB cases
being notified after Covid
relaxation as during the
pandemic TB patients were
scared to visit the hospital
for treatment fearing con-
tracting Covid-19.
As per available data, in
the last five years, 29,988
TB cases have been report-
ed in the city, of which
4,640 were reported in 2018,
which increased to 7,877 in
2019. However, the numbers
dropped to 6,611 in 2020 and
further to 5,298 in 2021.
There was a slight surge in
2022, with 5,562 TB cases
being reported.
Senior doctor from the TB
hospital in Sewri said the
number of admissions has
increased by 51 per cent
since last year. “Since the
relaxation has started, the
number of patients have
also increased as public
transportation has opened
up,” he said.
Along with public hospi-

no point waiting for the
virus to die off. So, people
have started coming to hos-
pitals for their diagnosis
and treatment,” said a sen-
ior official from the Maha-
rashtra State Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association.
On the contrary, health
experts said the numbers
have dropped as most of
the patients did not step
out due to nationwide lock-
down following many pa-
tients being left undiag-
nosed. “During pandemic
TB patients were impacted
due to which many were
left undiagnosed. But after
the relaxation, many pa-
tients came forward for the
treatment but still numbers
are less, which need to be
checked by the civic body

A day after a bank employ-
ee was shot dead in Kash-

Chaturvedi on Friday has
urged Union Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah to provide
adequate security to the
Hindu community in Kash-

killings of Hindus and mi-

of fear, vulnerability and
insecurity among the Hin-
du community, especially
Kashmiri Pandits and mi-
grants living in the valley,"
she said.
"Such targeted attacks on
Kashmiri Pandits and mi-
grants raise questions on
the implementation of vari-
ous schemes launched by
the government of India for
the development and reha-
bilitation of Kashmiri mi-
grants," said Chaturvedi.
"In view of the current
situation in Kashmir, I re-
quest you to provide ade-
quate security to the Hindu
community in Kashmir im-
mediately," she wrote.
She further requested an
investigation into the mat-
ter by a competent agency.
"I also request you to
grant adequate compensa-
tion to the family of the vic-
tims and a government job
to one family member, in
case the victim was the sole
breadwinner of the family,"
Chaturvedi said.
"The Hindu community in
the valley has suffered long
enough. It is the duty of the
government to ensure their
safety and provide them ad-
equate welfare measures,"
she noted.

Mumbai accounted for
over 68 per cent of overall
Covid-19 cases reported
across Maharashtra be-
tween May 26 and June 3.
According to the data, 4,437
cases were reported in the
city during this period
with a test positivity rate
(TPR) of 5.78 per cent,
while Maharashtra report-
ed 6,528 cases between May
26 and June 3, with a TPR
of 3.42 per cent.
Health experts said the
city has always been the
biggest contributor during
all three waves since the
pandemic struck in March
2020. Officials claimed that
the sudden spike is expect-
ed when a pandemic turns
into an endemic like swine
flu.
State surveillance officer
Dr Pradeep Awate said that
the surge cannot be pre-
dicted because after the re-
laxation of restrictions,
the population has in-
creased. Similarly, immu-
nity, as well as variants of
the virus fluctuating dur-
ing an endemic, are com-
mon.
“Several issues are re-
sponsible for the blip in the
curve. For instance, after
months of beneficiaries
getting vaccinated, the vac-
cine efficiency might fade
with time, making people,
especially the elderly with
comorbidities, vulnera-
ble,” he said.
As per CoWin portal, 7.01
lakh have been administered
boosters in Mumbai.
Booster rolled out for
healthcare and frontline
workers, and people above 60

INS Nishank, INS Akshay decommissioned from service
MUMBAI: The Indian Navy on Friday decommissioned its two ships, INS Akshay and INS Nishank, after
32 years of service, including participation in Operation Talwar and Operation Parakram. The
decommissioning event was conducted at Mumbai's Naval Dockyard in a traditional ceremony wherein
the national flag, the naval ensign and the decommissioning pennant of the two ships were lowered for
the last time at sunset. While INS Nishank, a high speed missile craft, was commissioned on September
12, 1989, INS Akshay was commissioned a year later on December 10, 1990 at Poti, Georgia. INS
Nishank and INS Akshay were part of the 22 Missile Vessel Squadron and 23 Patrol Vessel Squadron,
respectively, under the operational control of Flag Officer Commanding, Maharashtra Naval Area. INS
Nishank was also deployed post the Uri attacks when tensions between India and Pakistan were high.

arrive at a conclusion.
However, it is believed that
it’s a blip in the ongoing en-
demic phase,” said a senior
health expert.
Dr Sanjith Saseedharan,
consultant and head, criti-
cal care, SL Raheja Hospi-
tal, Mahim, a Fortis associ-
ate, said, the rise in cases
in Mumbai is due to two
main reasons. The first is
the probable presence of
BA 4 and BA 5 variants and
the growth advantage this
variant possesses. The sec-
ond reason is that due to
reduced social distancing
and minimum usage of
masks, the infection is
higher. He said, it’s a good
sign that the high positivi-
ty rate is not resulting in
increased hospital admis-
sions and fatalities. “It is
important to note that the
number of admissions to
hospitals, ICU units, oxy-
gen requirements, and the
mortality rate is relatively
low, in the current sce-
nario,” he said.
“This current strain of
the virus may, however, af-
fect elderly patients with
comorbidities who may re-
quire higher care, includ-
ing hospitalisation. To re-
duce the cases, it is recom-
mended that everyone
masks up and maintains
social distancing. In addi-
tion, everyone must follow
the vaccination protocol
and get their booster/vac-
cination shots whenever
possible,” he said.
gramme evoked a good re-
sponse, but later during
the third wave, people ei-
ther became vaccine-hesi-
tant or contracted the in-
fection.
“The delayed eligibility
for the third dose and the
laxity among beneficiaries
may have slowed the cover-
age. However, people are
now coming forward for
precautionary doses,” he
said.
Booster doses or precau-
tionary doses for health-
care workers, frontline
workers, and people above

Amid a not-surprising Covid-19
surge, the public health addi-
tional chief secretary Pradeep
Vyas has asked civic and dis-
trict administration to take
steps to keep the rising number
of cases under control and hos-
pital admissions to minimum.
Vyas’ letter came hours after
Union health secretary Rajesh
Bhushan raised an alarm over
the surge in the state and to
keep a strict watch, while tak-
ing pre-emptive action to curb
emerging spread of infection.
Vyas said that testing, which
has considerably reduced de-
spite repeated instructions,
should be increased immedi-
ately in all districts.
Warning against any compla-
cency, he said, “Carry out peri-
odic analysis of new positive
cases with respect to time,
place and person, so a localised
action plan can be carved out.
Keep track of the overall clini-
cal spectrum of cases and
analyse the proportion of
breakthrough infection and re-
infection cases periodically.”
Vyas asked the district collec-
tors, municipal commissioners
and CEOs of Zilla Parishads to
prepare inventory based on
presumption that the active
cases will reach the number as

had administered 1,484,50

group.
Experts have highlighted
the need to make the third
shot accessible to all free of
cost.
“The booster shots will
not only prevent infection
but, as seen in the past,
will also help control the
severity among patients.
Officers said that Menti
keeps saying different things
every time they interrogate
him, which makes it hard to
put together a proper profile
of him. Sometimes he claims
his parents are dead, while
other times he says his moth-
er stays in a village 80 km
from Nairobi and he sends
her money regularly
through an overseas wire
service. He also gives differ-
ent names for himself.
“We have written to the
Kenyan High Commission
seeking all information they
might have on him, includ-
ing the different names he
has given. We are also find-
ing out from other agencies,
including the Anti Narcotics
Cell, whether he has a crimi-

about five per cent of these ac-
tive cases will need hospital ad-
mission. “We should have a
ready inventory to this extent
and, based on the trend of new
cases in the next 10 days and
how the new cases behave, we
should be in a position to rapid-
ly scale it up, if necessary,” he
noted.
In case of genome sequenc-
ing, Vyas said appropriate

quencing (WGS) to the identi-
fied INSACOG (Indian SARS-
CoV-2 Consortium on Ge-
nomics or Indian SARS-CoV-2
Genetics Consortium) labora-
tory, and coordination with the
district level officers is the key.
He also asked the civic and
district administrations to in-
crease the pace of vaccination
as it reduces hospitalisation
and potential deaths signifi-
cantly. “Communities where
vaccine hesitancy is high
should be prioritised for aware-
ness campaigns, specifically us-
ing interpersonal communica-
tion methods, even as precau-
tion dose needs to be promoted
and expedited,” he said, adding
that a close eye on population
mobility, potentially major
spreading events and special at-
tention to influenza-like illness
and severe acute respiratory ill-
ness is a must.
Hence, it is essential that
those over 50 years and pa-
tients with comorbidities
take the third jab,” said an
expert.
Dr Lancelot Pinto, con-
sultant pulmonologist and
epidemiologist at PD Hin-
duja Hospital said, “To the
best of our knowledge,
there hasn’t been a rise in
demand for boosters de-
spite the present spike.
Those who have risk fac-
tors and/or are elderly
should be strongly encour-
aged to receive a booster
dose if they haven’t taken
it.”
“Migration to cities and a
drop in Covid-19 cases
have deterred many from
taking the jab. So, we have
decided to intensify the
door-to-door vaccination,”
said Dr Sachin Desai, the
state immunisation officer.

MNS workers held trying to distribute
letter on loudspeaker row
MUMBAI: The Mumbai police arrested eight workers of the
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Friday while they were trying
to distribute copies of the letter by their party chief about
loudspeakers, an official said. The letter had been uploaded on Twitter
on Thursday; in it, workers were told that the party was looking at
ending the issue of loudspeakers (atop mosques) permanently for
which “wider support of people” would be needed. Action was taken
against MNS workers, who had gathered near the Khadi Machine area
in suburban Chembur in the afternoon. Though prohibitory orders are
already in place across the city, a group of MNS workers had gathered
to distribute the letter, an official said. –Agencies

Property
prices likely to
rise by 15-20%
SWEETY ADIMULAM / Mumbai
The price of real estate in the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region
seems to be on an upbound
with a sentiment of consensus
amongst developers that price
hike is not a choice any longer,
but a necessity due to the ris-
ing input costs.
As per the Maharashtra
Chamber of Housing Industry
(MCHI) and the Confederation
of Real Estate Developers’ As-
sociations of India (CREDAI),
despite good market sentiment
in all segments – be it residen-
tial, retail, or commercial – de-
velopers’ profit margins are
dwindling owing to rising in-
put costs.
As per MCHI data, the input
cost has seen a sharp rise of
around 40 per cent in the last
one year. The prices of cement
have gone up by 25 per cent,
while steel prices have shot up
by 60 per cent and conduit
pipes and the copper price
have increased 40 per cent.
The approval costs in Mum-
bai are also very high and, as
per Ajay Ashar, the president-
elect of MCHI and CREDAI,
developers end up paying 50-60
per cent of their input cost in
the premiums. Developers said
adding fuel to the plight of
home buyers and developers is
the sudden rise of the repo
rate and mortgage rate.
As per Hitesh Thakkar, the
vice-president of NAREDCO,
if the construction cost in-
creases, developers who have
projects in Mumbai can ab-
sorb the cost. However, devel-
opers who are in the affordable
segment will get badly affect-
ed. He said cement, steel and
other raw material prices have
increased, adding to the cost of
construction with premium
payments among other ex-
penses. The increased cost, he
said, affects the profit margin
in the affordable segment.
Meanwhile, NAREDCO has
been demanding reduction in
GST on cement and steel,
which is currently 28 per cent.
Thakkar said the government
should consider that the in-
dustry provides job opportuni-
ties to skilled and unskilled
sector. Thakkar said the gov-
ernment should consider their
demands since this industry
largely provides job opportu-
nities to skilled and unskilled
sector.
Man borrows
Rs 5k, pays
Rs 4.28L to
loan sharks
SOMENDRA SHARMA
somendra.sharma@fpj.co.in
In a first, the complainant in
a mobile loan fraud case was
induced by loan recovery
agents to download other mo-
bile loan apps, secure loans
from them and repay the orig-
inal loan amount. As a result,
the 28-year-old complainant
who had initially procured a
loan of Rs 5,000, ended up
paying Rs 4.28 lakh to the
loan sharks.
According to the Chunab-
hatti police, the complainant
hails from Nagpur and works
as a kitchen supervisor at a
Mumbai hotel. He lives in
Mumbai while his family re-
sides in Nagpur. According to
the complaint filed, on March
28, he downloaded a mobile
loan app on his phone. After
granting various permis-
sions to the app the com-
plainant shared his photo-
graph, identity and bank de-
tails on the app.
According to the com-
plainant, he needed Rs 50,000
for his wife's treatment, but
received only Rs 5000 in his
bank account through the
app and was supposed to re-
pay Rs 8,200 within a week.
On April 2, the complainant
repaid the amount. However,
he continued to receive mes-
sages asking him to repay the
loan amount. Loan recovery
agents then began sending
the complainant a morphed
obscene photograph of him
and threatened to share it
with those on his contact list.
Soon the complainant be-
gan receiving calls and text
messages from 200-250 recov-
ery agents asking him to re-
pay the money. They forced
him to download at least 15
other loan-providing apps
and take fresh loans from
them to repay the original
loan. The complainant fol-
lowed these instructions and
began getting exploited and
harassed further. He ended
up paying Rs 4.28 lakh in total
to the loan sharks. He lodged
a police complaint when the
harassment continued.

The Brihanmumbai Munici-

While the six-month flamin-
go season in Mumbai, espe-
cially in the Mumbai Metro-
politan Region (MMR), is
getting over, the year 2021-22
will be remembered for the
biggest ever stopover of the
migratory bird. Between
December 2021 and March
2022, the Thane Creek
Flamingo Sanctuary
(TCFS) hosted 1,33,000
flamingos, the highest so
far.
As per the Bombay Natu-
ral History Society (BNHS),
a pan-India wildlife re-
search organisation that
has been tracking and tag-
ging flamingos since 2018,
there has been a gradual
rise in the number of
flamingos at TCFC. The
BNHS said it will be impor-
tant how the trend will pan
out in the next couple of
years.
“Of the six species of
flamingos in the world, two
are found in India: the
tallest of them, the greater
flamingo (Phoenicopterus
roseus), and the smallest
one, the lesser flamingo
(Phoeniconaias minor),”
said Siddhesh Surve from
the Mangrove Foundation.
He added that the majority
of flamingos that come to
Mumbai are lesser flamin-
gos.

He added that the highest
number of flamingos is
generally observed during
these three months.
Flamingos usually visit
the MMR wetlands from
November to May mostly
for feeding after visiting
breeding sites in Gujarat
and Iran.
Migration starts after
the monsoon when water-
filled regions start drying
up. However, owing to
plenty of water over the

winter, arrivals have been
delayed.

cording to a BMC survey,
1,92,000 are located the

Apart of trimming of
trees, the BMC's garden de-
partment also identifies
dangerous bends and trees
having cavities in them.
Till May 31, the BMC identi-
fied 523 curved, bent and
cavity-filled trees. Of these,
512 trees were removed.
BMC's garden superinten-
dent Jitendra Pardeshi ap-
pealed that every society
should inform local ward
offices if they find any dan-
gerous bend or trees having
cavities in order to avoid
untoward incidents. “Some-

Unit 2 of the crime branch of
Navi Mumbai police arrested a
36-year-old man who had fled
after misappropriating funds
at a company in Mumbai. In
April this year, a case was reg-
istered against two persons, in-
cluding him, at Sahar police
station.
The accused, Nagesh Bhikaji
Rane, is a resident of Vasai and
was working as a service coor-
dinator at Onsite Electro Serv-
ices Pvt Ltd in Andheri. The
police said he had allegedly
transferred Rs 2.54 lakh from
the firm to one of his office col-
leagues, Abhishek Kumar
Singh. A case was registered
against both of them for cheat-
ing and fraud.
He had been on the run ever
since the embezzlement of
funds was noticed. His phone
had been switched off ever
since. Early this week, the
phone was switched on briefly
and its location was Navi Mum-
bai, following which the Mum-
bai police alerted their coun-
terparts in the satellite city.
Unit 2 of the crime branch
formed a team under senior po-
lice inspector Giridhar Gore.
“The last location of Rane’s
mobile was found near Deepak
Fertiliser in Taloja. A trap was
laid and he was caught,” said
Gore. After conducting a med-
ical check-up of the accused, he
was handed over to the Sahar
police for further investigation.

The Mira Bhayandar Municipal
Corporation (MBMC) submitted
the draft report of the electoral
ward boundaries to the state
election commission (SEC) on
Friday. This is a significant de-
velopment in the run-up to the
civic polls. The five-year tenure
of the civic body ends in August
this year.
In November 2021, the SEC
had directed the civic adminis-
tration to start the process of de-
limitation of ward boundaries
and send draft reports before
February 15. Subsequently, the
civic administration, led by
Dilip Dhole, tabled the prelimi-
nary draft before the SEC. Even
as the report was being scruti-
nised by the SEC, the delimita-
tion process came to a brief
pause this March, owing to
amendments in the law pro-
posed by the state government to
take over the powers of ward
formation for local body elec-
tions. The Supreme Court set
the ball rolling again in May by
asking the SEC to notify election
schedules for local bodies. After
scrutiny, the MBMC was noti-
fied of some changes by the
SEC.
“Adhering to the changes, the
revised draft plan was submit-
ted in compliance with the June
3 deadline set by the SEC in a
confidential and digitised man-
ner,” confirmed an official re-
questing anonymity. After an of-
ficial nod by the SEC, the draft
will be published to seek objec-
tions and suggestions. The num-
ber of elected representatives in
the MBMC will go up from the
existing 95 to 106. Elections will
be held for electing 106 corpora-
tors from 34 three-member pan-
els and one four-member panel.

‘Neighbours provoked separatist

triggers clash
feelings among border people’

NEW DELHI: Union minister Nityanand Rai on
Friday said some neighbouring enemy countries
have fuelled “fanatic” religious and separatist
feelings among India’s border population that
has not been completely integrated into the
national mainstream as the people were forced
to migrate due to lack of basic amenities. The
MoS for home affairs said the government was
“concerned” over the migration from forward
areas and keeping this in mind, the Modi
government initiated various schemes for their
welfare. The ‘Vibrant Villages’ programme for the
frontier areas, which was announced in Budget-
2022, was part of this larger initiative, he said.
“The over 15,106-km-long Indian border running
along seven countries is difficult and inaccessible
due to lack of basic facilities like education and
healthcare. It has not fully integrated with the
national mainstream. The level of education in
the border population is low. A GoM (group of

tradition of unopposed polls to the Rajya
Sabha for several years. We did not want a

Meanwhile, in view of the possible fourth

and the possibility of water-borne diseases
during monsoon, Municipal Commissioner
Iqbal Singh Chahal has instructed that all
the concerned departments should be

had to be ramped up five-fold, so that

This app turned out to be a screen-sharing

station. Kadam added that the person
posing as the customer care executive then
asked the victim to log in to his netbanking
account. When the victim did so, the
person was viewing his screen and was
hence able to note down his log-in
credentials. A short while later, the victim
got a series of text messages from his bank,
informing him that a total of Rs 5.99 lakh
had been debited from his account in
varying instalments. The victim told his son
about it and both of them rushed to the
Mahim police station. Even as they were
exiting the police station after registering a
complaint, the victim got another message
saying that Rs 2 lakh had been debited
from his account. “We have contacted the
bank and asked them to stop any more
transactions, as well as to reverse the ones
that have already been made. We are
friend had left early, she befriended a boy
at the party. He along with his friends
promised to drop her home. They stopped
at a pastry shop on the way and later
parked the car at an isolated spot, where
the assault took place. The incident came
to light when the girl's father noticed
injuries on her neck and enquired about it.
She told him that some boys attacked her
after a party at a pub. On a complaint by
the victim's father, the police registered a
case under section 354 of the Indian Penal
Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and took
up the investigation. It was initially treated
as a case of outraging of modesty but after
recording the statement of the victim, the
police altered the section to Section 376 of
the IPC. A police officer said they were
looking for the accused based on the
statement of the victim. The girl was in a
state of shock and could name only one
boy. The police are investigating how
minors were allowed in the pub and
whether they had alcohol. The manager of
the pub said no one was allowed to drink
or smoke in the party, reports NDTV.
"The place was booked for a party hosted
by a person called Ishan for 150 people.
But 30 more persons were added. We are
hearing they all left together in the car and
as per the police we know they had alcohol
outside," the manager said.
RS thriller in State...
The BJP is a pan-India party. Every Rajya
Sabha seat is important for us.” NCP
minister Bhujbal said, “We put forward a
proposal before the BJP. We urged them to
withdraw their third candidate from the
Rajya Sabha polls. In exchange, we offered
them one additional seat in the legislative
council. The BJP has turned down the
proposal.” With both sides sticking to their
respective stands, the election has become
inevitable. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut hinted
at horse-trading during the polling, alleging
that the BJP has imposed the election. “The
Chandrakant Patil denied talk of horse-
trading, saying that legislators would vote
with their conscience. Meanwhile, Chief
Minister Uddhav Thackeray held a meeting
with MVA leaders to discuss strategy for
the smooth sailing of the Shiv Sena’s
second nominee, Sanjay Pawar, against BJP
nominee Dhananjay Mahadik. After the
meeting, Raut said efforts would be made
to avoid a split in the MVA’s votes. “It was
also decided that MVA partners would
issue separate whips for their legislators,”
he added.
Yet another death penalty...
The child had returned from school and her
mother sent her to a nearby shop, but she
never returned. Police investigation had
found that the man had sexually assaulted
the child before murdering her and
disposing of her body. Judge Shende said in
the judgment that he had committed the
horrendous crime in less than a year of
coming out of jail. The court noted that the
innocent girl had come out of her house,
still in her school uniform, just for a cup of
tea, only to be carried away by the accused
to satisfy his lust, after which he killed her.
“To destroy evidence, he killed the girl in a
horrible, spine-chilling and filthy manner,”
the order stated, adding that if given a
lesser sentence, he would show good
behaviour, get the sentence pardoned and
commit the same crime, ruining the life of
another girl. “The POCSO Act was enacted
to provide children a safe environment to
grow up in…but the present accused
committed one crime after another
repetitively, abuses young girls...” the court
said. The judgment stated that the accused
was ‘a pest of society’ and if he were
exposed to society again, then the lives of
many more young girls were likely to be
endangered. Judge Shende said that to
show leniency or mercy in the case of such
a heinous crime and to the accused who
had shown no repentance or remorse after
exhibiting extreme depraved mentality,
"It is necessary for respondents to ensure
implementation of norms on ground. For
this purpose, DGCA should issue separate
binding guidelines authorising staff at
airports, flights, captains, pilots etc to take
strict action against passengers and others
for violating masking and hand-hygiene
norms. Such persons should be booked and
fined and placed in no-fly list. Let a report
on action taken in this regard be placed on
record, sometime in July" the order stated.
The High Court was hearing a suo motu
petition registered by Justice C Hari Shankar
in March last year regarding non-adherence
by air passengers to social distancing
norms and COVID protocol like wearing
masks. Interestingly, the Delhi High Court
judge was prompted to initiate the case
after his personal experience on a Kolkata-
New Delhi flight when obstinate fellow
passengers refused to wear masks properly
and adhere to Covid appropriate behaviour
despite repeated exhortations.
The single-judge had then issued guidelines
towards mask mandates and pandemic
protocol, including considering placing
unruly passengers on the no-fly list.
The present Bench effectively sought to
make the same binding in its Friday’s order.
Counsel for the DGCA submitted that the
COVID protocol and standards have not
been diluted and appropriate directions had
been issued in compliance with the earlier
order. Justice Sanghi stated that the
problem lay in implementation of the order.
"Tell staff to implement this strictly and
authorise them to take strict action against
those not masking. Impose heavy fines,"
the Bench remarked. When another counsel
gave the example of how masks can be
continuously removed citing excuses like
sipping coffee, the Bench remarked that the
endeavour is to minimise the risk. Justice
Sanghi also orally expressed concern with
the spurt of cases in Mumbai. The order
stated that the pandemic has not abated
and keeps 'springing up its ugly head every
now and then', sparing not even the DGCA
counsel who had to appear virtually on
infections could be detected and curbed
well in time. “Experts from IIT Kanpur have
predicted that a fourth wave of Covid may
hit in July 2022, and their warning must be
taken seriously, since their predictions
about the earlier Covid waves also proved
to be true. Given the recent increase in the
number of patients infected with the virus,
the possibility of a fourth wave cannot be
ruled out. Therefore, it is important to pay
special attention to Covid-19 prevention
measures. At the same time, the monsoon
is about to begin and we need to be well-
equipped to deal with the rainy season,” he
said.
Currently, around 8,000 tests are being
conducted per day, which will now have to
be increased to 30,000-40,000 per day. The
number of infected patients stands at 8 per
cent and this rate is a warning sign.
Increasing testing will make it easier to
detect as many infections as possible.
“The number of tests should be increased
immediately by the joint commissioners/
deputy commissioners, assistant
commissioners and medical health officers
of all the wards, where more cases are
detected. All those in contact with the
infected should be traced and they too
must be tested. Collective Covid tests of all
residents in buildings/ housing societies
where patients are found must be done.
Also, the focus should be on making those
buildings/ housing establishments infection-
free as soon as possible,” Chahal
instructed.
Meanwhile, all the jumbo Covid centres are
advised to be fully equipped and have
adequate manpower reserves. In particular,
intensive care beds and the necessary
medical facilities for the same should be
made available, so that there is no problem
in case the number of patients increases.
Structural stability inspection of all jumbo
centres should be carried out to ensure to
rule out monsoon mishaps. The structural
stability certificate should be obtained
following due procedure.
“All the major BMC hospitals should be
Water vending machines...
The rates of water provided through
vending machines are very reasonable, as
against that of bottled water. Last month,
the top bureaucrat of Indian Railways, VK
Tripathi, the Chairman and CEO, had
informed that WVMs won't be restarted.
Sources said that in the past IRCTC had also
installed WVMs at railway stations. They
were facing the problems of meeting the
demand of bottled water and supplying the
same at railway stations.
There were 80 WVMs on the Central
Railway and over 50 on the Western
Railway in the past. The WVMs used to sell
water at Rs 2 for a 300ml glass and Rs 3
with own container. For a 1 litre bottle,
WVM will provide water at Rs 5; Rs 8 will
charged for refilling. This is way cheaper
than the bottled water sold under Rail Neer
brand at stations at Rs 15.
The availability of WVMs was a good way
of providing clean water to public. The
passenger associations claim that the
decision of shutting WVMs would have
only benefited the canteen and food stalls.
The IRCTC produces 14500 cartons of

containing 12 bottles of 1 litre each.

isolation facilities are also being provided
at the campus. IIT-B has not closed down
any of its facilities or stopped any activities
on the premises, and the management is
undertaking all precautionary measures to
contain the spread of the virus.
The institute has asked students, staff
members and residents to isolate
themselves if they develop any symptoms
and contact IIT hospital for advice and
assistance. According to the official mail to
the campus residents, hostel residents who
test positive will be accommodated in the

Meanwhile, the Russia gov-

verdict reached this week in her defamation
trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp, her
attorney announced on Thursday.
Elaine Bredehoft, who represented the
“Aquaman” actor at the trial in Fairfax, told
NBC’s “Today” show that her client has
“excellent grounds” for an appeal after a jury
awarded $15 mn in damages to Depp and $2
mn in damages to Heard. (Judge Penney
Azcarate reduced Depp’s total to about $10.4
mn, per Virginia’s statutory cap.)
Depp previously lost a similar libel case
against the Sun tabloid in London, where a
justice ruled in 2020 that “the great
majority of alleged assaults of Ms. Heard by
Mr. Depp have been proved to the civil
standard.”
“We even had tried to get the UK
judgement in to dismiss his case because he
already had his shot,” Bredehoft told
“That’s one of the issues. But also ... there
was so much evidence that did not come
in.”
Asked whether Heard would be able to pay
$10.4 million in damages, Bredehoft said,
“Absolutely not.” A recent survey of
hundreds of American adults found that
most people want to continue watching
Depp in movies but believe Heard should
be dropped from future productions —
suggesting that Heard’s career could suffer
as a result of the trial.
In Bredehoft’s opinion, the outcome of the
trial sends a “horrible message” that could
have a devastating effect on victims of
abuse.
“Unless you pull out your phone and you
video your spouse or your significant other
beating you, effectively, you won’t be
believed,” Bredehoft said.

pictures on her social media account recently.
She took to her Instagram handle and dropped
some jaw-dropping snaps, wherein she can be
seen enjoying herself in the pool, exactly showing
how to get rid of these high temperatures.
Sharing the pictures, she wrote, “summer vibes”. Fans
and admirers bombarded the comment section with
loads of fire and heart emoticons. Shehnaaz looked like
a mermaid with her natural makeup and hair pulled
back. Her fans can’t get enough of her, and one user
even commented, “Enna sona kyu rab ne banaya”.
She has returned to her social media A-game, and
netizens are really appreciating her posts.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shehnaaz is all set

Shahid is performing live after a long time,

not migrating to a place physically but
to a digital world as “Digital Immi-
