" Netaji's family seeks more than statue honour In an apparent swipe at previous Congress dispensations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that attempts were made after independence to erase the contribution of many great heroes, besides the country’s culture and values; the country is now correcting mistakes of the past and reclaiming those heroes and values. "The freedom struggle involved the penance of lakhs of countrymen. But efforts were made to disregard or . limit their role in history But, today, after decades of independence, the country is correcting those mistakes". The prime minister was possibly referring to the role of ‘Netaji’ Subhas Chandra Bose, who had &/9. 8957/+8 '(5:9 ./8 */8'66+'7'4)+ 45< 6'79 5, 656:2'7 ,521257+ +9'0/ ":(.'8. .'4*7' 58+ 8 ,'3/2> '4* 9.58+ 7+8+'7)./4- ./8 2/,+ '4* <571 8'> 9.+ <'> 95 97:2> .545:7 ./3 /8 (> ,52254- ./8 /*+525-> 5, /4)2:8/;/9> '4* 8+):2'7/83 '4* 95 2/,9 9.+ ;+/2 8:775:4*/4- ./8 *+3/8+ #.+ $4/54 -5;9 '445:4)+* 9.'9 ' -7'4* 89'9:+ 5, 58+ 22 (+ /489'22+* '9 4*/' '9+2 '8 ' 8>3(52 5, 4*/' 8 /4*+(9+*4+88 95 ./3 won the Congress presidency in 1938.

Addressing a gathering after unveiling a hologram statue of Netaji at the India Gate on the 125th birth anniversary of the freedom fighter, Prime minister Modi also said no power in the world can prevent the country from achieving its goal of building a 'new India' before the hundredth year of independence in 2047. , ‘‘Netaji used to say ‘Never lose faith in the dream of independent India, there is no power in the world that can shake India.’ Today we have a goal to fulfil the dream, and we have a target to build a New India before 100 years of independence," PM Modi said. He also exhorted people to take inspiration from Netaji’s "can do" and "will do" spirit. “Netaji’s statue will not only remind us of our duties to the nation but also inspire the generations to come," the Prime Ministre added. The hologram statue will be powered by a 30,000 lumens 4K projector. An invisible, high gain, 90 percent transparent holographic screen has been erected in such a way that it is not visible to visitors. The size of the hologram statue is 28 feet in height and 6 feet in width. EOW unearths Rs 1.5 cr assets owned by PWD timekeeper !

His resignation on late Saturday night was accepted by Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht. Lambrecht has appointed his deputy as interim naval chief. During his interaction on January 21 at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, a military think tank in Delhi, Schonbach had said the idea that Moscow wanted to invade Kiev was "nonsense", adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin deserved respect. "Does Russia really want a small and tiny strip of Ukraine soil to integrate into their country? No, this is nonsense. Putin is probably putting pressure because can do it and he splits EU opinion. What he really wants is respect." Speaking about Putin, the German naval chief had also said: "He wants highlevel respect and my God giving some respect is low cost, even no cost. If I was asked, it is easy to give him the respect he really demands and probably also deserves. Russia is an old , country Russia is an impor. tant country Even we In, dia, Germany need Russia.

Five-day-old girl dies after testing Covid positive at Gwalior hospital A five-day-old girl, who had tested positive for coronavirus infection and also suffering from other health issues, died at a hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district, an official said on Sunday. The girl was born at the health centre in Dabra, around 45 km from the Gwalior district headquarter, Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Bindu Singhal said. The girl was referred to Gwalior's Kamlaraja Hospital after she tested positive for coronavirus where she died, Singhal said. "It can't be said that the infant died only because of COVID-19 infection. She was suffering from other ailments and infections since she was born," the Chief Medical and Health Officer added. A detailed report about the girl's death is awaited. Saturday of As evening, the COVID-19 tally in Madhya Pradesh stood at 8,82,906 while the death toll was 10,562, as per the state health department. The positivity rate in Madhya Pradesh also rose to 13.4 per cent on . Sunday OMICRON IN COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION STAGE THE SPREAD IS INTERNAL AND NOT THROUGH INCOMING TRAVELLERS The Omicron variant of Covid has reached community transmission level, says the Indian Consortium on Genomics that goes by the acronym INSACOG. This essentially means that further spread of Omicron in India is now expected to be through internal transmission, not foreign travellers. A revised sampling and sequencing strategy is therefore being worked out to help understand how the variant spreads and evolves, and to suggest the best possible public health response. "Omicron is in community transmission stage and has become dominant in multiple metros like Mumbai and Delhi, where cases have been rising exponentially", said the consortium in its recent bulletin pub. lished on Sunday The INSACOG conducts ge- nomic surveillance across the country through sequencing of samples from Sentinel sites; it also conducts detailed district-wise analysis for some states. (A total of 1,50,710 samples have been sequenced and 1, 27,697 samples have been analysed so far by INSACOG.) The research body has made another interesting finding -- that an infectious sub-variant of Omicron BA.2 lineage has been detected in a considerable fraction in India. "BA.2 lineage is in a substantial fraction in India; therefore, S-gene dropoutbased screening is likely to give high false negatives. (Sgene drop-out is a genetic variation like that of Omicron.) The consortium has further said that while most Omicron cases so far have been asymptomatic or mild, hospitalizations and ICU cases have been increasing in the current wave. The threat level remains unchanged.
