The Delhi government has sent the proposal to lieutenant governor Anil Baijal for his approval. The proposal also mentions that shop and commercial establishments should be allowed to open all days, and private offices that are currently following work from home can now function with 50% attendance. Over the past few days, Delhi has seen a sudden drop in covid-19 cases with, reporting 12,306 new covid-19 cases on Thursday, a decline of 10.72%. The city still has nearly 70,000 active covid-19 cases with a positivity rate greater than 20%. However, the silver lining here is that most of the patients are in home isolation (53,000), and nearly 13,000 beds in covid care are lying vacant, reducing the burden on the national capital's health infrastructure.  https://youtu.be/PV6CX7QDTHk

Centre: The Flame Of The Amar Jawan Jyoti Not Being Extinguished

Amid criticism on the move of merging the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame for soldiers at the India Gate with the torch at the National War Memorial, the central government sources addressed the 'misinformation'. There have been rumours that the centre will extinguish the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame or the eternal flame which has been burning for 50 years. However, clearing all rumours, government sources said: "The flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti is not being extinguished. It is being merged with the flame at the National War Memorial. It was an odd thing to see that the flame at Amar Jawan Jyoti paid homage to the martyrs of the 1971 and other wars but none of their names are present there," The Britishers had built the India Gate in the memory of soldiers who died in World War-1, and the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame was placed under the India Gate in 1971 to pay homage to the martyrs of 1971 and other wars. The sources said: "It is a true shraddhanjali (tribute) to have the flame paying tribute to martyrs there (National War Memorial)," The government have been criticised on social media by opposition leaders over the massive change in a decades-old tradition. The National War Memorial was built in 2019 at the cost of INR 176 crore, spanned over 40 acres. The memorial contains the names of 25,942 soldiers inscribed on granite tablets in golden letters. At a ceremony today, a part of the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame will be carried to the National War Memorial.  https://twitter.com/RahulGandhi/status/1484361901580558336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1484361901580558336%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ndtv.com%2Findia-news%2Famar-jawan-jyoti-not-being-extinguished-says-centre-amid-row-2720912 https://twitter.com/priyankac19/status/1484375338474160129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1484375338474160129%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ndtv.com%2Findia-news%2Famar-jawan-jyoti-not-being-extinguished-says-centre-amid-row-2720912 https://twitter.com/manojkjhadu/status/1484379023602241537
