I n the absence of any break- through in the standoff at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh despite several rounds of talks, the Indian Army is rapidly enhancing its infrastructure, including pre- fabricated heated huts to sus- tain troops in winter months. These upgraded huts have ade- quate facilities like water and hygiene facilities. Not willing to take any chances against the backdrop of little progress in reducing ten- sion, the Army over the last few months was ramping up its logistical supplies. This process was undertaken to take care of troops which will remain deployed for the next few months at the LAC in Ladakh. While the Army has suffi- cient stocks of winter clothing and boots, it has now com- pleted the ongoing efforts to establish upgraded living facil- ities for troops deployed in Eastern Ladakh. This area receives up to 40 feet of snow after November every year and where temperatures fall up to minus 30-40 degrees. The stand-off sites are located at a height of more than 15,000 feet in most of the places in Eastern Ladakh. Due to paucity of oxygen at such heights, the Army has taken precautions to deploy only acclimatised soldiers well versed in surviving at such heights. In fact, many additional troops brought to Ladakh after situation worsened in the wake of a bloody brawl in the Galwan valley in June are vet- erans of the Siachen glacier. Giving details of the facil- ities now in place, officials on Wednesday here termed them as “excellent” and said the pro- ject was undertaken to ensure operational efficiency deployed in winters in that sector. They said the altitudes in Ladakh range from High to Super High Altitude. Coupled with the wind chill factor, tem- peratures dip down to minus 30-40 degrees. In addition, road access also gets affected for brief period of time. Apart from the smart camps with integrated facilities which have been built over the years, additional state of the art habitat with integrated arrange- ments for electricity, water, heating facilities, health and hygiene have been recently created to accommodate the troops. Also, troops in front line are accommodated in heated tents as per tactical considera- tions of their deployment. In addition, adequate civil infra- structure has also been identi- fied to cater for any emergent requirements. Incidentally, the Chinese have also improved their lodg- ing facilities at the LAC as they are also digging in for a long winter deployment. In October, personnel affiliated with state- run Chinese media had circu- lated visuals of the preparations being made in the region by the Chinese army ahead of winter. This included the provision of solar and wind-power facilities and 24-hour hot water supply. Continued on Page 11 A s demand for plasma from recovered Covid-19 patients across the country continues to soar, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Wednesday cau- tioned that indiscriminate use of Convalescent Plasma Therapy (CPT) for treating virus infection should be avoid- ed, suggesting it did not reduce mortality in Covid patients. The CPT is one of several investigational therapies being tried in India in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Maharashtra, Odisha and Delhi, the three worst-affected States in India, have not only backed the therapy but have also set up plasma banks as well. However, the country’s apex medical research body did not prohibit its complete use. Instead, it issued Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) on plasma therapy and advised States to desist from its indis- criminate use. “ICMR conducted an open-label phase II multicen- tre randomised controlled trial in India across 39 public and private hospitals on use of convalescent plasma in the management of cases with moderate Covid-19 disease (PLACID Trial). “It was concluded that, CPT did not lead to reduction in progression to severe Covid19 or all cause mortality in the group that received CPT as compared to the group that did not receive CPT,” said the ICMR in its new advisory. “PLACID is the world’s largest pragmatic trial on CPT conducted in 464 moderately ill laboratory confirmed Covid-19 affected adults in real-world setting wherein no benefit of use of CPT could be estab- lished,” it said. The ICMR also mentioned that similar studies conducted in China and the Netherlands have also documented no sig- nificant benefit of CPT in improving the clinical out- comes of hospitalised Covid-19 patients, hence indiscriminate use of CPT is not advisable. Continued on Page 11 L akshmi Vilas Bank has enough liquidity to pay back its 20-lakh depositors and will complete the pro- posed merger with the Singaporean lender DBS before the deadline, the RBI-appoint- ed administrator said on Wednesday. The RBI on Tuesday super- seded the Lakshmi Vilas Bank board and placed the 94-year- old Chennai based lender under a 30-day moratorium ending December 16, after its net worth turned negative and a quarter of its advances became dud loans and it failed to get capital despite many attempts. The regulator also appoint- ed the former non-executive chairman of Canara Bank TN Manoharan as the administra- tor of the crippled private sec- tor lender for the 30-day mora- torium period. LVB is the third bank to be placed under moratorium since September last year. Continued on Page 11 S ocial media giant Twitter has apologised to a parliamen- tary committee for wrong geo- tagging of India’s map and showing Ladakh as part of China. Twitter has promised to correct the error by the month- end. The committee’s chairper- son Meenakshi Lekhi said on Wednesday that the Twitter’s submitted an affidavit signed by Damien Karien, Chief Privacy Officer of Twitter Inc. The Joint Committee of Parliament on Data Protection Bill had slammed Twitter for showing Ladakh as part of China, saying it amounted to treason and had sought an explanation by the US-based parent of the social media plat- form in form of an affidavit. In its affidavit submitted before the parliamentary panel, Twitter has reportedly said the issue was “caused due to a soft- ware error combined with imperfect data resulting in an incorrect geo-tag”. Continue on Page 11 B ihar’s main Opposition RJD and its allies on Wednesday attacked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for appointing JD(U)’s Mewalal Choudhary as the Education Minister even though he faces corruption charges and was suspended from the party over the issue, and demand- ed he be sacked. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said Choudhary, a for- mer vice chancellor of an agriculture university and a first-time Minister, faces seri- ous charges under the IPC including cheating (section 420), and criminal conspira- cy (120B). “Has Chief Minister Nitish Kumar awarded Mewalal Choudhary for cor- ruption and given him the freedom to loot?” he asked in a tweet. Choudhary, 67, was sus- pended from the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) in 2017 after an FIR was registered against him over alleged irregularities in appointments during his tenure as the Vice Chancellor of the Bihar Agriculture University, Sabour in Bhagalpur district. The FIR was registered against him in February that year on the basis of a report by the then VC over some anomalies in the appoint- ment of Assistant Professors and junior scientists. The BJP which was in the opposition during the grand alliance Ministry then had strongly raised the issue against Choudhary. Chaudhary had left the job to contest the 2015 Bihar polls on a JD(U) ticket and was elected from Tarapur Assembly seat in Munger dis- trict. He retained his seat in the just-concluded State polls and has been made the Education Minister. The probe has brought to light alleged irregularities in the appointment of 161 Assistant Professors and Junior Scientists in 2012. Tejashwi also took a swipe at the new NDA government for not appointing any Muslim in the cabinet. They have made an accused, absconding in sev- eral cases of corruption, the Education Minister. But there is no minister from the minority community, Tejashwi said. S tolen over 20 years ago, three-feet-tall bronze idols of Lord Ram, Lakshman and goddess Sita of Vijayanagara period are now back from the United Kingdom to their home in Tamil Nadu. Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Prahlad Patel on Tuesday virtually handed over the artifacts to the Tamil Nadu Government at the headquar- ters of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) here. The statues were stolen from the Vishnu Temple at Nagapatinnam in 1978. They were restored to the Indian Government after a collector voluntarily offered to hand it back on discovering their true history. The unnamed collector, who had acquired the statues in good faith, was informed about their dubious provenance by the London Met Police. On September 15, London Metropolitan Police handed over the statues to the High Commission of India, London after they were recovered. Patel praised the positive role played by the ASI, espe- cially over the last six years, in getting back the masterpieces of the country’s cultural her- itage. In August last year, the High Commission of India, London, was informed by India Pride Project that four antique idols of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman, were stolen from a temple built in Vijayanagara period in Tamil Nadu and smuggled out of India, may be to the United Kingdom. Forty-three of the 56 arti- facts that have been restored after India’s Independence were handed during the NDA Government, as per the ASI. G autam Buddh Nagar health officials were on Wednesday deployed at two key Noida-Delhi borders where they started random Covid-19 testing of people coming from the national Capital. The random testing of inward coming people was announced by District Magistrate Suhas L Y on Tuesday after a meeting with senior administration and health officials amid a spike in Covid-19 cases in Delhi. Gautam Buddh Nagar Chief Medical Officer Deepak Ohri said teams of health offi- cials are present at the borders at Delhi-Noida-Direct (DND) flyway and at Chilla — the two key entry points to Noida from the national Capital. “We are conducting rapid antigen-based tests on people randomly so that traffic move- ment is not impacted. This is being done to check virus car- riers and ensure that infection is contained in Gautam Buddh Nagar,” Ohri, who was himself present at DND, told reporters. Several health officials wearing personal protection equipment (PPE) are at the border locations along with policemen where they have set up desks for the rapid antigen- based test, which gives results in 15 minutes. Further action is taken based on the test result. “If anyone is found posi- tive, they are sent back to Delhi. Only those testing neg- ative are allowed to enter Noida,” Ohri said, adding all facilities for test and logistics are available at the borders. He said a similar campaign will be carried out on Wednesday at Ashok Nagar, adjoining Delhi, and at Botanical Garden Metro Station, in Noida on Thursday. Suhas had on Tuesday said only a few randomly selected commuters shall be tested. Continued on Page 11 New Delhi: The AAP Government told the Delhi High Court on Wednesday that wearing masks while driving was made compulsory in April and the order remains in force till date. The submission was made on an affidavit filed before Justice Navin Chawla in response to a lawyer’s plea challenging the 500 challan issued to him for not wearing a mask while he was driving alone in his private car. T he Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Uttar Pradesh govern- ment to fill up vacancies of 69,000 assistant basic teach- ers in the state as per results declared by it in May. A bench headed by Justice U U Lalit dismissed a batch of petitions including the one filed by the “Uttar Pradesh Prathmik Shiksha Mitra Association’ challeng- ing the Allahabad High Court’s decision to uphold the cut off marks for selection of assistant basic teachers in the states. The top court said it will be open to the state to give another chance to shiksha mitra to compete for selec- tion as assistant basic teach- ers in the states. The association had chal- lenged the Uttar Pradesh gov- ernment’s order of January 7, 2019, by which the qualifying marks for the Assistant Teacher Recruitment Examination 2019 were fixed at 65 and 60 for general and reserved categories respec- tively. Meanwhile, welcoming the Supreme Court order, Chief Minister Yo g i Adityanath said that the selected assistant basic teachers would be given appointment letters at the earliest. In a tweet, the CM asked the Basic Education Department to start giving appointment letters to the assistant basic teachers after taking permission from the Election Commission of India. The model code of con- duct is in place in UP because of Legislative Council elec- tions for graduate and teach- ers constituencies across the state. Any appointment needs approval of the Election Commission when the model code of conduct is in force. In another statement, the CM said that the Supreme Court had put its stamp of approval on the UP govern- ment’s decision. “As per the Supreme Court’s directives, the shiksha mitras who have not got a chance will be given another chance by the state govern- ment,” he said. There are over 1.50 shik- sha mitras across the state who monitor the primary schools in the villages.

    The Samajwadi Party and the BahujanSamaj Party appear to be in a tizzyafter the rout of the secular grandalliance in Bihar Assembly elections andthe resounding victory of the BharatiyaJanata Party in six out of the sevenAssembly constituencies where bypollswere held in Uttar Pradesh.

    Both the SP and the BSP almostsimultaneously in a knee-jerk reaction,took measures to put their houses inorder. The BSP replaced its UP unitpresident Munkad Ali with BhimRajbhar. By appointing Rajbhar as theUP unit president, the BSP is now mak-ing a desperate attempt to win back theextremely backward classes (EBCs)among the OBCs. It was the BSP whichgave significant representation to theEBCs ever since its debut in electoralpolitics in 1989. Later the BJP success-fully poached this social group in 2017.

    SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, after yearsof bad blood with his uncle ShivpalSingh Yadav, offered to accommodatethe estranged uncle in the cabinet if hisparty forms the next government afterthe 2022 UP Assembly elections. ShivpalYadav, however, spurned the offer.

    The attempt of Akhilesh Yadav wasmore at consolidating the Yadav votebank then bringing unity in the firstfamily of the party. The Samajwadi Partyhas suffered three successive defeats –May 2014 Lok Sabha elections, 2017 UPAssembly elections and 2019 Lok Sabhaelections.

    Though the rank and file of the SPwas upbeat till November 10, the day ofcounting of votes of Bihar election and

    UP bypolls, as a large number of turn-coats from the Congress and the BSPjoined their party. The election resultshave changed the mood and the SP lead-ers are trying to come to terms with theground reality saying “defectors fromother parties won’t lift the stock of theparty and SP can make a difference in2022 only if the party can craft a credi-ble political narrative to counter the BJP”.

    At the end of October, seven ‘angry’BSP MLAs met the SP chief and formerUttar Pradesh chief minister AkhileshYadav over what they perceived wastheir party’s “internal agreement” withthe BJP for a Rajya Sabha seat. Then, onNovember 2, former Congress MPsAnnu Tandon and Salim Sherwanijoined the SP. They were followed be anumber of prominent BSP leaders suchas former MP Tribhuvan Dutt, formerminister Ram Prasad Choudhary andformer MLA Babbu Khan joining the SP

    SP leaders then claimed that in thelast week alone, dozens of BSP andCongress leaders have approached theirtop leadership with a request to meetAkhilesh. Things are especially worse inthe BSP as the meeting between the dis-gruntled MLAs and Akhilesh Yadav hascreated a stir within the party. BSPsources said that several other leadershad also made up their minds to join theSP.

    A senior SP leader however said theone way traffic of leaders to SamajwadiParty would enable it to take on the BJPin 2022 and the direct contest would beYogi versus Akhilesh. He claimed thatin such a situation, local leaders haveonly two strong options to choosefrom.

    The Uttar Pradesh governmenthas expedited the execution ofthe Centrally-sponsored majorinfrastructure projects like thefour-laning of the Jagdishpur-Ayodhya national highway, Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor pro-ject and development of certaindistricts as export hubs under thePM SVANidhi project.

    Chief Secretary RK Tiwari onWednesday reviewed the progressof the infrastructure projectsthrough the PRAGATI platform.

    To monitor the progress ofthe project, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi in March 2015launched an ambitious multi-purpose and multi-modal plat-form PRAGATI (ProactiveGovernance and TimelyImplementation) portal.

    PRAGATI is a unique inte-grating and interactive platform.The platform is aimed at address-ing common man’s grievanceand simultaneously monitoringand reviewing important pro-grammes and projects of theCentral government as well asprojects flagged by the state gov-ernment.

    For the four-laning of the 60-km section of the Jagdishpur-Ayodhya national highway,against the requirement of 52,000acres of land, around 48,000acres of land has been acquiredand compensation has been dis-tributed to the farmers.

    The project is several yearsbehind schedule. Its foundationstone was laid by Union Surface

    Transport Minister Nitin Gadkariin December 2016. The contractfor the project was awarded by theNHAI more than four years laterin March 2020 under HybridAnnuity Mode under BharatmalaPariyojana. The estimated cost ofthe project is Rs 1,530 crore.

    On the progress of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, thechief secretary said 747 acres ofland had been acquired andtransferred to the DMIC. For themulti modal logistic hub(MMLH), against the require-ment of 478 acres of land, 364acres of land has been acquiredand the rest of the 26 acres of landwill be acquired by the Indianrailways.

    The MMLH is one of the keyearly bird projects identifiedunder Dadri-Noida-GhaziabadInvestment Region (DNGIR) inUttar Pradesh sub-region of DelhiMumbai Industrial Corridor(DMIC) at Boraki in GreaterNoida.

    The logistics hub shall bepositioned in Dadri to improveefficiency of operations of exist-ing industries in the region as wellas to improve the attractiveness ofthe region as an investment des-tination for various categories ofindustries and also warehousingand logistics operators.

    The MMLH is strategicallylocated between NH-91 and theDelhi-Howrah line in close prox-imity to the point of congruenceof the Western and EasternDedicated Freight Corridor(DFC) and also the proposedfreight corridor of Eastern

    Peripheral Expressway. The totalsite area is approximately 293.8Ha (725.6 acres). An additionalarea of 145.1 Ha (358.56 acres) isearmarked for future expansion.

    The multi modal transporthub (MMTH) is also an impor-tant component of the DMICproject and the required land forthe project has been acquired. TheMMTH at Boraki and surround-ing station area is being developedin Greater Noida spread over412.7 acres for improved trans-port connectivity for DNGIRand upcoming UP-Sub Region,forming a catchment zone for theproposed transit facility.

    A railway station is proposedat Boraki that shall be developedas a transport hub with a state-of-art railway terminus further sup-plemented by an interstate busterminus (ISBT) and a MassRapid Transit System (MRTS) sta-tion alongside commercial activ-ity to optimally capture the strate-gic location where various trans-port modes congregate.

    The integrated railway hub isplanned to be of world classstandards, encompassing passen-ger facilities, commercial andinstitutional facilities (includingoffice complex, shopping complexand hotels). The project is fore-seen as the development of amodern and user-friendly region-al railway terminal that will seam-lessly integrate with an MRTS(interlinked with a large localhabitation), ISBT and a businesscentre (equipped, among otherthings, with offices and businesshotel accommodation).
