Migrants stream back to MP from Delhi & Maha; woman delivers in bus

Migrants stream back to MP from Delhi & Maha; woman delivers in bus

Bhopal/Barwani/Khargone: Covid exodus 2.0 has begun. Migrant workers are again streaming back to Madhya Pradesh from lockeddown areas of Maharashtra and Delhi, where fears of a lockdown are growing.

One of them, 27-year-old Munia Bai, delivered a baby in a bus on Sunday while on her way to her home in MP’s Chhattarpur district. When she went into labour, the driver sped to a community health centre in Naugaon town of the district.

She was returning with her husband Harishankar Rajak, and 15 other people from Jharahata village of Panna, neighbouring Chattarpur.

Harishankar said: “We came back before lockdown could hold us back. I knew my wife was in advanced stage of pregnancy but we wanted to reach home before the Nav Durga festival.”

Ghasi Ahirwar, who works at a construction site in Delhi said, “Hungry and thirsty, we travelled for four days last year to reach home. This time, we left Delhi before they could lock down the capital. Coronavirus has spread so rapidly there that lockdown may be announced any time.”

Another labourer, Ratiram Ahirwar, said, “Nav Durga Puja is around the corner. We thought we should go home and pray to the goddess before Delhi is locked down again.”

Last year about 7.3 lakh labourers and over 5 lakh of their family members had returned to Madhya Pradesh during the lockdown. Most of them belong to Bundelkhand— Chattarpur, Tikamgarh, Panna, Damoh and Sagar districts.

Migrants are also fleeing the locked down areas of Maharashtra and returning to the homes on the bordering districts, especially Barwani, Khandwa and Khargone.

Hundreds of workers, including those headed for Bihar and UP, are turning up at Bijasan on the MP-Maharashtra border by bus. Since MP has banned interstate us travel, they get off at Bijasan, spend the night there and look for other transport.

Farid, who works as a welder in Pune, said that he was returning to Barabanki, UP, along with 17 colleagues because there was no work due to the lockdown. Another labourer, Sandeep Jaiswal, said he ran out of ration and has no option but to return home.

Gennova to get ₹100cr from govt for Covid jabs

Pune-based Gennova Biopharma, developing India’s first indigenous messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine against Covid-19, will receive government funding of ₹100 crore, making it the first such large project to be funded under the ‘Mission Covid Suraksha’. The company will receive up to Rs 100 crore under the Covid Suraksha scheme, upon successful completion of Phase 1 clinical studies, sources told TOI.

A total of Rs 900 crore has been earmarked for Covid-19 vaccine development to be implemented by BIRAC (Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council) under the Department of Biotechnology.

I give you the absolute freedom to choose me as your supreme leader

ARUN RAM

On Saturday, four days after the Tamil Nadu assembly election, the Madras high court made some interesting observations on a public interest litigation seeking an instruction to political parties to conduct their internal elections before the assembly election. “The petitioner’s sentiment has to be respected as it revealed the highest regard for democratic principles,” the court said, disposing of the petition which was now infructuous since the election had been conducted.

Nothing may come out of such petitions, but they come as occasional reminders of how autocratic our political parties are; they hold a mirror to the reality that the parties that wax eloquent about democracy do not practise it internally. And this is not to say that only those parties accused of practising dynasty politics (and there are plenty of them) are autocratic. In fact, the Congress, which still cannot think beyond the Nehru-Gandhi family for leadership, has a much more liberal intra-party democracy than the BJP. But members of the Congress have used this liberty to foster factionalism that has systematically eaten the innards of the organisation.

The BJP, on the other hand, takes pride in not promoting dynastic succession (though close to 15% of its MPs since 2009 come from BJP families) but its leadership is often handpicked by the RSS or a handful of seniors in the party. The same is the case with virtually every party, where the lowerlevel units and cadres have no say in the selection of the leadership. The communist parties in the 1980s and 1990s conducted internal polls to select committees, but it turned out to be a farce as often the incumbents introduced ‘official panels’ and those comrades who voted for someone outside the panel were shown the door.

In Tamil Nadu, the DMK, AIADMK, PMK, VCK, MDMK, DMDK and all those katchis and kazhagams were born and grew around personalities and most of them have a strong dynastic culture. The MNM, that came three years ago with the promise of change, has anointed founder Kamal Haasan as the ‘supreme leader’ and ‘perennial president’. It is only incidental and by force of circumstances that the AIADMK of late ceased to be entirely unipolar.

A leader who commands respect and shows conviction and direction is not just a prerequisite for a robust party, but also an inspiration for the public, but the problem is we often confuse a strong leader with an autocrat (an autocrat is always strong, but all strong leaders need not be autocrats). While hearing the recent petition, the Madras high court alluded to the US presidential form of leadership, but was silent on the fact that the US president is all-powerful once he attains the post, but the process has several layers of democratic checks and balances. The US and Germany have laws that mandate secret ballots for internal party elections.

It was not the first time the Madras high court had heard a plea for internal democracy in parties. In November 2019, the high court dismissed (as withdrawn) a writ petition from an AIADMK member who sought party polls. The court said it could not entertain the case and asked the litigant to file a civil suit if he so wished. The Election Commission of India said the law did not permit it to interfere with the internal affairs of a political party.

In an earlier column on dynasty politics, I argued that selecting a political progeny is the internal matter of a party; this one is to argue that the internal matter does not follow the democratic process. Am I complaining? If this is how the political circus is conducted, pass the popcorn, please.

Weekend curbs fail as crowds flock to city beaches maskless

Weekend curbs fail as crowds flock to city beaches maskless

Sands, Service Lane Off Limits, Walkers Crowd Pavement

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai:12,04.2021

It would be comical if it weren’t so dangerous. The government shut the Marina beach to keep crowds, and thus Covid, away. So morning walkers crowded the pavement along Kamarajar Salai (see photograph). Normally, the crowds would have been divided between the pavement and the service road along the beach and social distancing would have been better observed.

Policemen were posted at MRTS stations and other approach roads to the Marina to dissuade people from going to the beach. But Sunday crowds were in no mood to listen.

Some enterprising souls ventured on to the sands claiming they were there to buy fish. Cops in beach buggies and on horseback chased them away.

Even those who came to the Namma Chennai selfie point in groups were asked to leave.

Similar scenes were witnessed at other beaches in the city including Elliots at Besant Nagar and Thiruvanmiyur. If they were not allowed on the sands, people crowded where they could. Social distancing was no one’s concern.

As the positive cases rose, the state government banned entry of public in all the beaches in Chennai, Chengalpet and Tiruvallur districts on all weekends, and on all government holidays to prevent spread of the second wave.

Barricades have been erected and police pickets posted in all the beaches to prevent public entry. As many as 250 policemen were posted for security both on sands and service road to avoid people from gathering at the Marina.

“We barricaded the stretches from Napier bridge to Srinivasapuram. The beaches on Sunday had additional deployment. We kept making announcements through the public address system to keep people from gathering at the beaches,” said deputy commissioner, East, V Balakrishnan.

“I came to my sister’s home in Vysarpadi, so I decided to see Marina beach with my family. I did not know the new restrictions until the police stopped me,” says Mariappan, a resident of Villupuram.

Residents complained that they were being kept away from beaches at a time when the summer heat is intensifying. But no one appeared worried about crowding in the midst of a pandemic. Frustrated policemen and policewomen were left to chase after people who really should know better.

IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS: Additional police personnel were posted at the city beaches on Sunday, but walkers and other beachgoers feigned innocence and said they weren’t aware of the new ban to visit beaches. Most weren’t wearing masks either, one year since it was made mandatory
