With the second wave of Covid-19 receding from the state, the Uttar Pradesh government upgrading its armour against a probable third Covid-19 wave, has directed a special team of health experts to prepare elaborate guidelines for reopening of secondary schools and higher educational institutions.

Committed to restore normalcy in the state in order to save both ‘Lives and Livelihood’ of people, in pursuance of the Chief Minister’s directives, a special team headed by the Director of SGPGI has swung into action to prepare special corona preventive guidelines in compliance with Covid-19 appropriate behaviour.

It is noteworthy, that all the students of the secondary schools, colleges and universities will attend their respective institutions on the occasion of Independence Day on August 15 after which their physical classes will commence from August 16.

The educational institutions will have to ensure availability of sanitation facilities like handwash, thermal scanning, pulse oximeter and other requisite medical aid.

Eliminating the deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, out of the 2,54,442 samples tested in the last 24 hours, merely 58 samples tested positive for the Covid-19 infection and as a result the Test Positivity Rate (TPR) has slumped to 0.01 percent in Uttar Pradesh, lower than the lowest post first wave of the pandemic.

Ramping up of daily testing to detect the virus has helped in the fight against the second wave. True to the spirit of the ‘trace, test, and treat’ policy, with as many as 6,74,76,221 tested, Uttar Pradesh has emerged as a leader in Covid Testing. Whereas, other states like Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal have decreased testing even after greater surge in fresh covid cases.

Despite its large population density, Uttar Pradesh is setting new daily records in vaccination while states like Punjab, Rajasthan and Chandigarh amongst others have ‘underutilized’ doses of Covid-19 vaccine that have been supplied to them.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
