How the Containment Zones in Delhi are moving in the opposite direction?
Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, CM, Delhi,
Dear Sir,
As per Delhi Government Health Bulletins, the Coronavirus positive cases are now on a decreasing note, which is a very good sign for the National Capital, BUT, the Containment Zones, on the other hand, are moving in the opposite direction, which is a very serious cause of concern for the Delhiites.
Shockingly, the Containment Zones in Delhi have risen by 200 in the last 5-6 days itself. The figure for the 8th of July was 458. It rose to 563 on 9th July, 633 on 10th July, 639 on 11th July, 652 on 12th July & 658 on the 13th of July.

Definitely, it has created some doubts allover. The foremost is about the figures depicting the New Positive cases. Why there is more dependence on the Antigen tests in Delhi, instead of the RT-PCR?
The Negatives of the Antigen testing must be reconfirmed by the RT-PCR test, but it's not being done. Moreover, the positives of the Antigen tests are not being displayed anywhere.
Why the RT-PCR tests on the 13th of July were only 3860 in the National Capital? The figures showing the Total tests on the 12th of July were 789853 while the same for the 13th of July with a star mark was 692845.
Total hospitalized patients are 6601 while those under the Home isolation are 11170. The total does not match with the Total active cases of 19017, after deducting the Deaths of the day.
Please look into these issues & increase the number of RT-PCR tests to save Delhi from coronavirus.

Entire Amritsar can feed on langar, my sense of hunger comes from New York: Watch how casual racism of BBC was exposed by chef Vikas Khanna
In an interview with the BBC, Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna sharply corrected the anchor who conjectured that the chef’s generosity of feeding homeless and destitute in India amidst coronavirus lockdown was triggered by his own sense of hunger while he grew up in India.
“Therefore my sense of hunger came from New York when I was living in Grand Central and sleeping around. It came from the United States, not from India,” Khanna emphatically added.

“You have been famous now. You have cooked for Obamas, you have been on Gordon Ramsay’s show. But, you were not always like this. You are not from a rich family so I dare say you understand how precarious it can be in India,” the BBC anchor said imperiously.
However, Khanna, with his cool demeanour, tersely dispelled the unfounded notions held by the BBC anchor.“My sense of hunger did not come from India so much because I was raised in
Amritsar and we have a huge community kitchen where everyone gets fed. The entire city can be fed from the community kitchen,” Khanna said while referring to the pervasive langars in the city that provide food to people.
Vikas Khanna's reply to BBC anchor wins the internet
He further added that his sense of hunger came from the sprawling American city of New York during his struggling days. “My sense of hunger came from New York, when I was struggling and really at the bottom. It was difficult for a brown kid to rise through, someone who had a dream of winning the Michelin star,” he said.

Khanna helps migrant labourers and poor with cooked meals
The
stark images of migrant labourers trudging on their foot empty stomach to their
native places across the breadth of India moved the celebrity chef into launching an initiative for those who had been adversely
affected by the coronavirus induced lockdown in the country.
Khanna
wanted to express his solidarity with those who were going hungry during the
lockdown in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. So he put out an appeal on social
media for those who were in the need of food during the pandemic and within no
time, he received a flurry of responses on social media requesting food for the
needy.
As of June 3, Khanna had supported the distribution of sanitary napkins in
Diamond Harbour, West Bengal and bankrolled 57 food stations within petrol
pumps in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to offer cooked meals to migrant workers
hoofing it towards their respective villages. Till June 3, he had approximately

DERC must extend the time for submitting Suggestions/ objections on Tariff Petitions of DISCOMs
Secy. DERC,
Dear Sir,
In such adverse circumstances, while the entire city is in the grip of a deadly virus, while Delhi is still under an unofficial #LockDown, while the city has got the highest number of positive cases, while there are no visible signs of its earliest recovery, while the red zones have increased significantly, while there are over 2000 deaths in a month due to #coronavirus, how DERC is asking the residents to submit the objections/ suggestions on the Tariff petitions/ ARR, of DISCOMs, by 30th June 2020?
We hereby request you to please EXTEND the date, until the situation becomes normal.
Thanks

Please SAVE our DELHI from #COVID19 #coronavirus
CM Saab,
Do you want us to just sit idle and keep on waiting for the disaster? The new positive cases have already risen from the mere 300 - 400 per day to almost 4000 per day, in a month. Almost 2000 persons have already died, in the last 30 days, in this city.
Shockingly, the worst is yet to come. You yourself had mentioned that by July End, we will have almost 5.50 Lakh or more fresh cases. Does it mean, scores of persons will die in Delhi, in the absence of suitable health facilities, by the July End or Mid August?
All the Beds & Ventilators that you have added so far, include a majority at the Private hospitals, for which one has to pay huge sums, while the SARKARI facilities are just negligible. The overall health facilities are absolutely inadequate in the National Capital.
We don't have even the adequate quarantine facilities in our city, forcing a huge influx of positive cases to remain at their homes.
In such circumstances, we hereby request you with FOLDED HANDS, to please SAVE our DELHI from #COVID19, before it's too late. We don't want it to become the yet another #Wuhan, #Lombardy, or #NewYork, with dead bodies & foul smell all over, in any case.
Say a Big No to the #HerdImmunity as even our lives are precious. Please go for an immediate #LOCKDOWN, else be prepared to add more & more cremation grounds, to serve the masses.
Really worried!
Thanks & with best regards,

Mumbai Police’s latest social distancing advisory post :What to say to your ‘party-animal’ friends who ask you to ‘get together?’ Mumbai Police answers
Who would
have thought that a line from the song Ek Main Aur Ek Tu from 1975
romance-thriller Khel Khel Mein could be used so creatively to send across an
important message on social distancing. However, Mumbai Police just did that.
Taking to Instagram, the department shared such a post which is not just
creative but is also winning people over.
In the post’s caption, they shared what
one should say when their ‘Party-Animal’ friends ask them to ‘get-together’.
The department used the line from the
song to reply to the question. The line says, “Dooriyan waqt ane par mitayenge
[we will be closer when the time is right].”
“Nailed it,” wrote an Instagram user.
“Mumbai Police got no chill,” expressed another along with a heart emoji. “You
guys are killing it,” wrote a third.
“This is epic,” wrote a fourth and we do
agree.
