Delhi Government Is Misleading The Supreme Court On One Nation, One Ration Card Scheme Says Centre

The central government has accused the Delhi government that they have implemented the One Nation, One Ration Card scheme only in one part of the city and not in all areas. The centre, on Monday, told the Supreme court that the Arvind Kejriwal-led government is misleading the Court on the ONORC scheme. Last week, the Supreme Court had said that states and union territories must implement the One Nation One Ration Card scheme as it allows migrant workers to get ration in other states where their ration cards are not registered. The Court had asked Assam, Chattisgarh, West Bengal and Delhi to implement the scheme. The central government has also been accusing Aam Aadmi Party of links to the ration mafia. The ONORC scheme allows migrant workers to avail five kilograms of ration by showing their Aadhaar card.  https://youtu.be/CKuOfqxSJsk

A study has shown that giving a third dose of covid-19 vaccine can give organ transplant patients an extra boost of protection.

Though the study just tracked 30 patients, 24 of them appeared to have no protection from both the doses of the covid-19 vaccine, 8 of them developed some antibodies after receiving an extra shot as per researchers from Johns Hopkins University.

Aamir Khan Gets Candid On Completing 20 Years Of Lagaan And Clash With The Film Gadar 

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Aamir Khan, Lagaan completed 20 years of its release today. Recalling his experience, Aamir said: "The experiment was so successful that 20 years since then, I have done only sync sound and all my films are single schedule with the first AD system. And funnily, even Adi and Karan follow this now. I prefer to work on a character for 3 to 4 months and then shoot the film in one go. Being a producer has made a big difference in my acting career," Aamir also spoke about how he was petrified of the film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, talking about the same, he said: "Gadar was at least 3 times bigger than Lagaan, if not more. Today, I wonder how did we even stand in front of a tsunami-like Gadar. It was a monster. I expected it to be a good film, but if someone had told me it's going to be this big a film, I would have thought twice (on the release date). I don't think even Sunny and Anil Sharma knew it's going to be so huge,"  https://twitter.com/AKPPL_Official/status/1404392555106603021
