    “Corona cases are shooting up, patients with symptoms of sore throat, cough, cold, and fever are coming to us,” the health expert said. “We are advising the patients with such symptoms to have strict home isolation for seven days,” he added.

    He said that the condition of the patients is not worrisome.

    “Very few patients are requiring hospitalization. Only patients suffering from some serious illness are required to be admitted to the hospital. Patients suffering from cancer, or other serious diseases are at greater risk from this variant and need to be extensively taken care of,” Dr Nayar said.

    The national capital on Wednesday reported 1,149 new coronavirus cases, marking a sharp jump from Tuesday when 980 cases were reported, according to a daily bulletin issued by the Delhi Health Department.

    According to the Delhi Health Department, one death was reported in the national capital but the primary cause of death was not Covid. While the positivity rate stood at 23.8 per cent.

    On Wednesday, India recorded 7,830 new coronavirus cases, marking a sharp jump from Tuesday when 5,675 cases were reported, according to data shared by the Union Health Ministry.

    Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday advised citizens not to panic amid rising Covid cases, saying that they should maintain proper hygiene.

    “Don’t panic. We have controlled it before, We will do it now also with your support. Covid cases are rising, but don’t panic. Maintain hygiene,” the statement said.

    According to leading epidemiologists and virologists, the new Covid variant — XBB.1.16 — could be the reason behind the increase in cases.

    “People in high-risk groups — pregnant ladies, those over the age of 60, those with chronic illnesses, and those with underlying health conditions, immunocompromised — face an increased risk of severe illness and death from Covid-19. We need to protect them,” read the statement.

  • Mentioning marital status not mandatory for admission: Bangladesh HC

    Mentioning marital status not mandatory for admission: Bangladesh HC

    [ad_1]

    Dhaka: The Bangladesh High Court on Thursday ruled that mentioning marital status is not mandatory for getting enrolled in educational institutions.

    A bench of Justices Naima Haider and Justice Md Khairul Alam delivered the verdict after hearing a writ petition.

    Deputy Attorney General Amit Das Gupta represented the state while Aneek R Haque appeared for the writ petitioner during hearing on the rule.

    On November 14, 2017, lawyers Fariha Ferdous and Nahid Sultana Jeni had filed the writ in the form of public interest litigation in the High Court following a news report titled “What will the girl do now?”

    As per the report, a girl, the daughter of a day labourer, was raped in 2013 when she was a Secondary School Certificate examinee. The rapist was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime. The rape had resulted in pregnancy and she gave birth to a baby.

    However, the rape survivor was denied admission to a nursing college as she had not identified herself as “estranged” in the application form as “asked” by the college authority.

    The HC on December 11, 2017 issued the rule questioning the legality of the educational institutions’ action seeking information on marital status of admission seekers.

    The court issued a rule asking the government authorities to explain as to why such an action of inquiring about the marital status of admission seekers should not be declared unconstitutional.

    The court also asked the authorities to enroll the female student to Rajshahi Government Nursing College.

    Filing chargesheet in each case lodged under SC-ST Act not mandatory: Allahabad HC

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court on Friday said it is not mandatory to file a chargesheet in each case lodged under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act after an FIR is registered in the matter.

    “The intention of the legislature is that the investigating officer would file the chargesheet, if, during the probe, he finds adequate evidence against the accused,” the Lucknow bench of the court said.

    A bench of Justices Rajan Rai and SK Pachauri passed the order on a petition filed by Gyanendra Maurya. Dismissing the petition, the bench said the legislative intent has to be understood logically.

    The petitioner had challenged certain provisions of the Act, saying those should be struck down as those mandate that once an FIR is registered, the investigating officer is bound to submit a chargesheet.
