Digha Tourism

Digha Tourism in West Bengal India

KOLKATA Digha Tourism : After lambasting the demonetisation move for over a month, chief minister Mamata Banerjee - who had earlier said that the state exchequer had already lost Rs 5,260 crore - will get a first-hand knowledge of the impact on two key sectors -tourism and agriculture -when she visits East Midnapore and Bankura next week. Even on Tuesday, Banerjee highlighted the plight of workers in her outburst against the Centre. "Crores of people have become victims of a visionless policy. It's a catastrophe. The draconian demonetisation decision has drastically affected about 5 crore workers in the country . It is indeed a major setback for the employees since Independence," she said in a statement. She elaborated, " According to reports, around 1.25 crore workers in the country in unorganized sector, e-commerce, leather, jute, textiles, glass, beedi, gems and jewellery sectors and daily wage earners under government schemes like MNREGA have either lost jobs or have been seriously affected due to cash crunch. In big industries, the retrenchment process is going on which has made or will make huge number of workers jobless." According to sources, the chief minister's visit to East Midnapore will coincide with the Digha Tourism Festival -now an annual fixture on the tourism calendar to lure more tourists. In Bankura, she is expec ted to hold an administrative meeting in Mukutmonipur. According to sources, in the past month alone, Bengal's tourism has suffered losses worth Rs 1,000 crore. State tourism minister Goutam Deb, however, wasn't willing to cite a figure. "The tou rism sector has been badly hit.Prior to November 8, whatever advance bookings we had we are seeing only those people tickling in. Fresh bookings have fallen drastically . Tourists are feeling the cash pinch." State transport minister Suvendu Adhikari, the ex-Tamluk MP , added: "In Digha and Mandarmani, most hotels went empty the past month. It is only now that some people have started coming. This is peak season time otherwise.Anytime this month, all hotels would have been booked much in advance." If tourism has taken a beating, so has agriculture. Trinamool MLA and Bankura district president Arup Khan said, "Labourers can't be paid. Farmers are not getting any fresh loans. The crisis is acute." In East Midnapore, too, cultivation of betel leaf and cashew -two primary produce here -have taken a body blow. "The cash-crunch is severe. Lending by the district cooperative banks (to cultivators) has fallen by 25%," Adhikari, who also heads two district cooperative banks, claimed. The CM, earlier on December 5, had told the state assembly that the state economy has already contracted by 25%.While she had mentioned several key industrial sectors, she didn't provide any preliminary estimates for tourism and agriculture, which is feeling the maximum pinch. Her December 19-23 district tour, however, will give her some key inputs on them, feel sources. Body blow to tea, jute industries Kolkata: Labour minister Moloy Ghatak on Tuesday claimed that tea and jute industries are finding it difficult to continue with operations, including payments to workers, due to demonetisation. Though no factories have been closed down, salaries in 28-odd tea gardens in Bengal have been delayed while the fate of jute mill workers were also the same, he added. BJP president apologises to CM Kolkata: State BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday apologised to Mamata Banerjee for his remarks that they could have "dragged her by her hair"."I never tried to hurt feelings of any person or intended to make any personal attack against anyone. Whatever I said was out of emotion.If our CM feels insulted, I am extremely sorry," Ghosh said in the Assembly.Ghosh apologised in the House soon after govt deputy chief whip Tapas Roy strongly raised his voice against him.

A pleasant surprise - Hotel New One N Only

The Location of the Hotel is around 2 to 3 min of walking distance from New Digha Beach. The Hotel itself has a restaurant but you also do have an option of many restaurants around the hotel and the beaches. There are many souvenir shops around the hotel and the beach near to the hotel side. The Hotel staff were supportive to some extend but not enthusiastic enough to help. The Rooms were just OK OK .. but the bathroom were pathetic , it was not clean. I had booked AC Standard room but it had windows which open within the premises of the hotel , so the passer by can easily check inside our room.When I ask to change the room , then came to know that all the AC Standard rooms have window which open within the hotel and hence any passer by from the lawn or stairs can see things inside the room.It was indeed a great turn off. In every hotel , every day in the morning , cleaning staff comes and clean the room and change the bedsheets and towels but here in this case there were no cleaning done although we stayed for 2 days from 24th Oct 2014 till 26th Oct 2014.

At present, there are 3,19,840 active COVID-19 cases in the country while the number of recoveries stands at 5,92,031, the health ministry said. Thus the recovery rate in the country is 63.42 percent, said the ministry.

As many states continued to report new cases, lockdown restrictions were imposed or extended in various places.

A three-day lockdown with stricter provisions will be enforced in Goa from Friday in view of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the state, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Wednesday. Besides, there will also be a 'janata curfew' in the state from 8 pm to 6 am every day with effect from Wednesday till 10 August, he told reporters.

Only people associated with essential services and those having medical emergencies will be allowed to move out during the curfew and lockdown, he said. Local authorities will try to arrange for home delivery of essentials, he added.

Sawant noted that people are not wearing masks and not following the social distancing guidelines. He also said that the COVID-19 cases in the state are expected to peak in next few days due to continued rains. "We are expecting a spike between 15 July and 20 July," he said.

In Karnataka's Shivamogga, the district administration decided to impose partial lockdown from 16 July until further orders.

Shivamogga Member of Parliament BY Raghavendra tweeted that the lockdown will be in place daily from 2 pm to 5 am from Thursday. Other than government offices, agriculture, medical and other necessary services, all other activities will be shut until further orders.

"Police have been instructed to take strict action against those gathering without maintaining social distancing, not wearing masks and violating guidelines," he said.

Streets remained deserted in Bengaluru as the government imposed a total lockdown in Bengaluru urban and rural districts till 5 am on 22 July.

From Thursday, Bihar will go under a complete lockdown till 31 July. The decision was confirmed on Tuesday by deputy chief minister Sushil Modi, who said that the infection had spread rapidly as precautions were not being followed strictly in public places.

इसके बावजूद सार्वजनिक स्थलों पर एहतियात बरतने में शिथिलता बरती गई, जिससे संक्रमण तेजी से बढ़ा और पूरे प्रदेश में 31 जुलाई तक सम्पूर्ण लाकडाउन लागू करना पड़ा। यदि हमने अपनी सामूहिक संकल्प शक्ति से काम लिया और नियमों का सख्ती से पालन किया तो संक्रमण की कड़ी अवश्य टूटेगी।

— Sushil Kumar Modi (@SushilModi) July 14, 2020

The chief minister also announced that no wedding receptions would be allowed in East Khasi Hills district and Ri Bhoi district "for the time being" but said that solemnisation of marriages in places of worship will be permitted with strict adherence to protocols.

Situation improved in Delhi, but war not yet won, says Kejriwal

Meanwhile, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the current COVID-19 situation in the National Capital is better than what it was in June, but the war against the disease has not been won yet.

Addressing an online media briefing, the chief minister said that according to the Centre's formula, Delhi was expected to have 2.25 lakh cases by 15 July, but at present, there are only 1.15 lakh cases.

He said had the Delhi government fought the virus alone, it would have "failed" and therefore his dispensation sought cooperation from the BJP-led Centre, NGOs, and other organisations.

"Our first principle was that this fight cannot be won alone," Kejriwal said.

The chief minister also said the AAP government will continue its preparations to deal with any spike in COVID-19 cases and warned against complacency.

Delhi reported 1,647 new cases and 41 deaths on Wednesday, taking the overall case count to 116,993 and toll to 3,487.

The aggregate number of discharges now stood at 18,378, leaving 16,621 active cases in the state, the bulletin said.

Karnataka reported 3,176 new cases, of which 1,975 cases are from Bengaluru, taking the total number of cases to 47,253. The toll rose to 928 as the state reported 87 deaths, said a bulletin issued by the state health department.

Parliamentary panel tells govt to promote cheaper medicines

Meanwhile, a Parliamentary panel told senior government officials to promote cheaper and easily available domestic-made medicines for COVID-19, sources told PTI. During a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, members also demanded that the maximum price of COVID-19 medicines be capped, they said.

Cutting across party lines, the committee members questioned why expensive medicines were often being recommended for COVID-19 treatment. Members named three cheaper and easily available medicines and questioned why they were not being promoted despite being equally effective.

The committee members also expressed concern over black marketing of medicines.

Zydus Cadila begins human trials of COVID-19 vaccine

In another development, drug manufacturer Zydus Cadila on Wednesday said it has started human clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate ZyCoV-D. In this phase of trials, the company will be enrolling over 1,000 subjects across multiple clinical study sites in India, it said in a regulatory filing.

Earlier this month, Zydus had received approval to start human trials for its COVID-19 vaccine contender, becoming the second Indian pharmaceutical firm to get such nod amid a global spurt in coronavirus infections.

It got approval a few days after India's first indigenous COVID-19 vaccine candidate COVAXIN, developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech in collaboration with Indian Council of Medical Research(ICMR) and National Institute of Virology (NIV), got the nod for human clinical trials from the Drug Controller General of India.

WB Governor upset over not being informed about CBPB varsity convocation - Times of India

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/wb-governor-upset-over-not-being-informed-about-cbpb-varsity-convocation-times-of-india/

WB Governor upset over not being informed about CBPB varsity convocation - Times of India

KOLKATA: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday expressed his dismay over not being kept in the loop about the convocation of the Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University scheduled for Friday.

The Governor in a tweet pointed out that four state ministers have been invited for the event.

But despite being the Chancellor, he has “just no information”, Dhannkhar posted on his social media handle, wondnering “where are we heading!”

“Convocation will be held on Feb 14. Ministers Partha Chatterjee, Goutam Deb, Rabindra Nath Ghosh and Binay Krishna Barman are invited for the Convocation. Chancellor, who has right to preside, has just no information! Where are we heading!” said the tweet.

Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University Convocation will be held on Feb 14. Ministers Partha Chatterjee, Goutam Deb… https://t.co/YWkvUsdPaI

— Governor West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar (@jdhankhar1) 1581471924000

Ever since he arrived in the state late last July to take over the gubernatorial responsibility, Dhankhar has got into a series of confrontations with the Banerjee government on issues such as law and order, education, health and other legislative and administrative matters. He has repeatedly complained that the government, including Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has not shown him due courtesy.

Protestors prevented Dhankhar from attending the convocation of Jadavpur University. He was also forced to leave the venue of the Calcutta University convocation even before the start of the programme due to intense student protest.

In December last, the Mamata Banerjee government framed new rules curtailing the Governor’s power as chancellor of state universities. The fresh rules have reduced the chancellor’s role in choosing vice-chancellors and taken away his power to convene meeting of the highest bodies of the universities, or take action against vice-chancellors.
