Metabolites commonly found in algae, identified as moss, have been found to be effective as anti-viral. The trio scientists stated that cheap and effective medicine can be made from algae against Covid-19.

Two faculty members of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and one of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) jointly carried out carried out the research which has been published in international research journal Phytotherapy on November 18. The research team includes Dr Kiran Bala and Prof Hemachandra Jha from IIT Indore and Dr Hemendra Singh . Parmar from DAVV " !

GDP numbers encouraging; lower contraction of 7.5%; pick-up in manufacturing; hope there is an end date to the pandemic Amid the swirling grim projections of the raging pandemic, comes a bit of good news. India's economy recouped faster than expected in the September quarter, as a pick-up in manufacturing helped GDP clock a lower contraction of 7.5 per cent and held out hopes for further improvement on consumer demand bouncing back. Economists are optimistic that the worst is over, as manifest in the record 23.9 per cent slump in the AprilJune period, when the coronavirus induced lockdown brought economic activity to a standstill. A cautiously optimistic Chief Economic Adviser Krishnamurthy Subramanian said the GDP numbers were "quite encouraging," given the pandemic and against the backdrop of the Economy in recession first-time ever: Rahul -#'( .- 0(# 7 1 (# 2' 2 3-#$0 .-&0$11 +$ #$0 '3+ .#( 2'$ ".3-207 1 $".-.,7 (1 (0$-#0 0(,$ (-(12$0 .#( -#( 1 -#$0 0$"$11(.- %.0 2'$ %(012 2(,$ $4$0 $".-.,7 (1 .%%("( ++7 (- 0$"$11(.- %.0 2'$ %(012 2(,$ $4$0 '$ 1 (# .- 5(22$0 Recovery a 'pleasant surprise': Niti's Rajiv Kumar (2( 7.& ("$ ' (0, - )(4 3, 0 .- 0(# 7 2$0,$# 2'$ 1/$$# .% -#( 1 $".-.,(" 0$".4$07 1 /+$ 1 -2 130/0(1$ -# 1 (# , -3% "230(-& 1'.51 /.1(2(4$ &0.52' 2' 2 ".-%(0,1 0$!.3-# previous quarter's performance. However, India needs to tread with caution, given the evolving situation. Though strictly speaking, the second straight quarter of contraction has pushed India into its first technical recession, the gradual loosening up of the economy has added another strand to the ongoing momentum. Manufacturing, for instance, clocked a surprise 0.6 per cent growth in JulySeptember after it had shrunk by a massive 39 per cent in the preceding quarter. Continuing its good showing, the agriculture sector grew by 3.4 per cent, while electricity and gas expanded 4.4 per cent.

After the High Court's order, ADG (CID) Kailash Makwana issued the orders from the police headquarters late on Thursday. The police headquarters has issued instructions to all the Additional Directors-General of Police (ADGs), Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and Superintendent of Police (SP) across the state to stop parading of people arrested or accused of any crime. The names of the arrested people will also not be made public, the order said. The order also stops the police from releasing the photo of suspects, accused or arrested and being made public. The order comes from the Gwalior bench of MP High Court after a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed by some human rights activists asking the court how the police could parade accused or suspected people if they had not been proved guilty by the court. The Madhya Pradesh police have been parading people arrested under the Goonda Act, or for other crimes, such as rape and loot, as a warning to other criminals. But, of late, it was observed that several accused and suspects who had no role in a crime, or were later absolved by the court, were targeted and their image was tarnished for no fault of their own.

The HC also appointed a valuer, who has been ordered to survey the demolition site and after hearing both the BMC and Kangana, finalise a compensation amount, which would be paid by the civic body for its illegal action. Justices S Kathawalla and Riyaz Chagla, while quashing the BMC demolition notice served to Kangana, ordered the actress to seek permission from the BMC if she wished to reconstruct the razed portions. The bench discussed the material on record - right from the first inspection of the bungalow till the demolition action.

The judges said, BMC's conduct lends credence to Kangana's case that demolition action was mala fide and predetermined with a view to cause injury to her, in retaliation to her tweet saying she has been openly threatened by Raut and concluding the said tweet by questioning 'why Mumbai is feeling like PoK?”
