COVID-19: Govt refutes rumours about 'complete lockdown' in country

The Chief Guest of the program flagged off the bike yatra from Varanasi to his birthplace, Vadnagar, organised at Rudraksh International Cooperation and Conference Centre, Sigra, on Thursday. The program was started by lighting the lamp by Naidu, Union Food Processing Minister Chirag Paswan and garlanding the statues of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay.

The All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists (AIOCD) has urged the Government to reconsider the proposal to make CCTV cameras, DVR/NVR systems and related surveillance infrastructure mandatory at every pharmacy and medical shop across the country.

According to the Chief Minister’s Office, CM Rekha Gupta launched these songs. Schoolchildren sang these songs with great enthusiasm, and the Chief Minister joined them in singing. 

"You must have noticed that over 45 lakh people in Bihar are suffering due to devastating floods; they have no food or clean water, and lives are being lost. Yet the government has made no proper arrangements for them. Instead, on the Prime Minister's birthday, a staggering 100 crore rupees, drawn from the state's already depleted treasury, is being squandered merely on lighting lamps," Yadav told reporters.

The Supreme Court on Thursday sought the Centre’s response on a plea seeking the return of a West Bengal woman who was allegedly detained in Mumbai and pushed into Bangladesh after her name was deleted from the electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
