The government shouldrepeal the laws. It will be better forthe farmers and the government,"Shyam, a protesting farmer.

AGENCYNEW DELHI, JANUARY 31

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharamanon Monday will deliver her promisedbudget like no other that is expected toprovide relief to the pandemic-hit com-mon man as well as focus more ondriving the economic recovery throughhigher spending on healthcare, infra-structure and defence amid rising ten-sions with neighbours.

As India emerges from theCOVID-19 crisis, the ninth budget un-der the Modi government, including aninterim one, is widely expected to fo-cus on boosting spending on job cre-

ation and rural develop-ment, generous allocationsfor development schemes,putting more money in thehands of the average tax-payer and easing rules toattract foreign invest-ments.

Sitharaman, who hadin her first budget in 2019replaced leather briefcasethat had been for decadesused for carrying budget documentswith a traditional red cloth ‘bahi-kha-ta’, had earlier this month stated thatthe budget for the fiscal year beginningApril will be “like never before”.

The budget, econo-mists and experts say,will be the starting pointfor picking up the piecesafter the economic de-struction caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic.And it must go beyondbeing just a ‘bahi khata’or a ledger of accounts,as well as canning oldschemes in a new bottle.

It has to be a vision statement, aroadmap to get the world’s fastest-growing major economy back on track.A prescient budget, which goes a longway in instilling confidence, cannot be

replaced by ‘mini-budgets’ such as theone in September 2019 when the gov-ernment cut corporate tax rate just twomonths after Sitharaman presented hermaiden one, or the periodic announce-ments of economic measures that dot-ted 2020. There is a larger consensusamong economists that the annualGDP for FY21 will decline by 7-8 percent, one of the weakest performancesamong the developing nations. Thegovernment has to play a critical role inpulling the economy out of the trough.While the pandemic is showing signsof being less virulent, a gradualprogress in the vaccination programmeis fuelling hope for a better future.

12 mining agencies booked RADAUR, JAN 31( ) : The case is of B-12 Ghat of Yamuna River. Here, the work of mining was being done by obstructing flow of the river water. The Jathlana Police has registered a case against B-12 mining agency on the complaint of Jaswinder Hooda, SDO of Irrigation Department, alleging that the game of mining agencies is going on with the connivance of concerned officials. This nexus of sand contractors and officials has devastated the area residents. The construction of a dam inside the Yamuna river is not one or two days job. It takes several days to divert the stream of Yamuna river. Residents Varyam, Avtar Singh, Vinod Kumar, Rajesh Kumar, Sarvajit, Sonu and Suraj say that the game of illegal mining in the Yamuna river is not stopping. Natural streams are being repeatedly disrupted. The water stream is being obstructed and mined with heavy pokellen machines. Everything is going against the rules. In the day or night, round the clock, Poklane machines are heard in the river Yamuna. Officers do not take action even on complaints. Two departments of irrigation and mining are also responsible for taking action. But the officers are silent instead of taking action. Cases have been registered against several mining agencies before on charges of damaging the river by constructing dams. But no one has been arrested till date. Which clearly shows that officials are involved in this game of mining. If there is a thorough investigation into the matter, the truth will be known to the public. the residents have demanded action from the high officials of the department.

Paras Hospital Panchkula has given anew lease of life to a 40-year-oldCovid Positive Patient from Karnal af-ter he underwent three major brainsurgeries at Paras Hospital Panchkula.This information was shared by ateam of doctors from Paras HospitalPanchkula, while addressing the me-diapersons, here today. Prominentamong others during the media inter-action were Paras Super SpecialtyHospital, Panchkula, Associate Direc-tor Neuro and Spine Surgery Dr. AnilDhingra, Consultant Neurosurgery Dr.Rajeev Garg and Senior Consultant,Neuro Surgery from Karnal Dr. VineetBhai.

Addressing the mediapersons, Dr.Anil Dhingra said, “40-year-old Ash-wani Kumar from Karnal came toParas Hospital Emergency in an un-conscious state. He had left Hemi-

paresis and left Facial Paresis. HisMRI showed gross Hydrocephalus(Water in Brain) with left CP angle tu-mor, which is one of the most difficultBrain Tumors to operate upon. Since, itwas an emergency case, on the samenight draining of Hydrocephalus wasdone. On the very next day his Covidreport came positive. Looking at the

condition of the patient and since hewas quite young, Dr. Anil Dhingra andDr. Rajeev Garg decided to go forEmergency Surgery of the Corona Pos-itive patient. Since it was a Major Neu-ro Surgery, in which operating time is8-10 Hours, a lot of Pre-Operativeplanning was required , as it is difficultto do such a long surgery wearing PPE

kits. Dr. Dhingra further said that forthe next 2-3 days, patient remainedinobservation in the ICU and showed im-mense improvement. “But on the 5thday after surgery, the patient startedfeeling drowsy and a CT scan showedan increase in Hydrocephalus. Againthe patient was operated on and shunt-ing was done. Now after three monthsfollow-up, the patient has fully recov-ered and is independently walking”, he said. Explaining further,Dr. Dhingra said, “These tumors can bemalignant (cancerous) or benign (non-malignant). Malignant brain tumors, mostly, arise from brainmatter (intrinsic) and can only be con-trolled for variable periods of time – af-ter using all the various modalities oftreatment available (surgery followedby radiotherapy and chemotherapy).But they differ from cancers of the restof the body and in that they do notmetastasize (that is spreading to otherparts of the body).

CLARENCE DAY

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2021

GitanjaliThou hast made me endless, suchis thy pleasure. This frail vesselthou emptiest again and again, andfillest it ever with fresh life. This lit-tle flute of a reed thou hast carriedover hills and dales, and hastbreathed through it melodies eter-nally new. At the immortal touch ofthy hands my little heart loses itslimits in joy and gives birth to utter-ance ineffable. Thy infinite giftscome to me only on these verysmall hands of mine. Ages pass,and still thou pourest, and still thereis room to fill. When thou command-est me to sing it seems that myheart would break with pride.

Lives of dogs in the White HouseWith the vacant po-

sition of DOTUS(Dog of the Unit-

ed States) at the WhiteHouse now filled after fouryears by Major and ChampBiden -- dogs of PresidentJoe Biden and First LadyJill Biden -- questions re-main as to who fills thedogs' water dishes, rubsthe bellies and whether thedogs could just enter theOval Office.

According to TheWashington Post, manyfirst families care for theirdogs themselves, longtimeWhite House chief usherGary Walters said in anemail. Walters oversaw theresidence portion of thehouse through a slew offirst canines, from LuckyReagan (dog of formerPresident Ronald Regan)in the 1980s to Barney andMiss Beazley Bush in the2000s.

Jennifer Pickens, theauthor of "Pets at theWhite House", said thatformer President and FirstLady George H.W. Bushand Barbara Bush were"do-it-yoursefers" addingthat the former Presidenteven bathe their dogs inthe residence shower.

Some say that it's hardto tell how involved theBidens will be, as the fam-ily is just getting settled.Mark Tobin, a Delawarepolice dog trainer whoworked with them, toldWashington Post thatBiden wants to walk thedogs himself - a practicefollowed by his predeces-sors. The Washington Postfurther reported that Presi-

dent John F. Kennedy andFirst Lady Jackie Kennedy(1961-1963) used to strolldown Pennsylvania Av-enue with their dogs atnight when they were lesslikely to be recognised.Even during Barrack Oba-ma's term at the WhiteHouse (2009 to 2017), for-mer First Lady Michelleused to take their dogs, Boand Sunny, on trails nearthe White House.

It has been seen in his-tory and even in the recentpast that DOTUS's placeisn't limited to a certainarea and many dogs havebeen allowed to roam in

the White House includingthe staff offices in the EastWing and West Wing.

Hannah August, whowas Michelle Obama'spress secretary, recalledthat Bo showed up at herjob interview, according toThe Washington Post. "Iremember sitting in her of-fice super, super nervous,"she said.

"You know, this is thebiggest interview of mylife for the most importantposition. And the firstthing that happened wasBo came running into theoffice before the first lady.And I just remember pet-

ting him, and my anxietylevel just went down sev-eral notches," she added.

August called Bo "anatural-born star" whoshowed a superhuman tol-erance for silly ideasdreamed up by his hu-mans, such as wearingbunny ears during thefilming of a promo spot forthe 2012 White HouseEaster Egg Roll.

With dogs living androaming around, the con-cerns of them wrecking up,chewing things, and bitingat the White House is natu-ral. And the incidents ofBarney (George W Bush's

dog) biting a correspon-dent's finger in 2008 oncamera and also attackinga police dog aren't hidden.

In another incident, abreach in diplomacy oc-curred when PresidentTheodore Roosevelt's dogchased the French ambas-sador up a tree on theWhite House grounds in1906, according to a histo-rian. But since then, petshave not 'treed' any diplo-mats, however, an occa-sional nip or chomp hasoccurred. As far as wreck-ing things are concerned,The Washington Post re-ported that the dogs

chewed furniture but mi-nor damage was reportedto casual pieces in the fam-ily area --- nothing seriousor historic White Househas also witnessed thebirth of plenty of puppies.George H.W. Bush's (from1989 to 1993) Millie gavebirth in the second-floorhair salon, Barbara Bushsat up through the nightcaring for thenewborns.Tim McBride, aRaytheon executive whowas then the president'spersonal aide said that af-ter the pups were born, thepresident couldn't getenough of them.

Childhood trauma could affect dev, treatment of multiple sclerosis

Finger raised over Imran Khan

There is a lot of hype overLiaoning ship - China's firstaircraft carrier, but the ques-

tion remains whether it can defeatUS Ford-class aircraft carrier in ashowdown?

Liaoning ship is China's firstaircraft carrier, and it is also theaircraft carrier that has been usedfor the longest time and is basicallyincapable of combat, reported Sohu- Chinese daily newspaper.

Many people have predictedthat Liaoning ship has no power tofight back US Ford-class aircraftcarrier, a class of nuclear-poweredaircraft carriers currently beingconstructed for the United StatesNavy (Gerald R Ford-class aircraftcarrier) to be deployed in 2021.

This is due to the gap in techni-cal strength. The Liaoning ship isessentially a training ship. Thetraining is mainly used to train air-craft carrier personnel. It is notused for combat, reported the Chi-nese daily.

In terms of the combat radiusand performance of aircraft carrierfighters, the Liaoning is far inferiorto the Ford. It can track downLiaoning through its early warningsystem. If the two sides are eight ornine hundred kilometres apart, theFord may have discovered the

Liaoning, then Liaoning will haveto drive for a few more hours todiscover the Ford. An hour's timedifference is enough to ruin an air-craft carrier battle group, reportedSohu. Moreover, Ford can carrymore than 70 F-35, while Liaoninghas a carrying limit of 20 fighterplanes. Also, the difference be-tween the fighter jets of the US andChina is a big letdown for Beijing.While F-35s are fifth-generationaircraft with an early warning sys-tem, the Chinese J-15s suffers fromcombat effectiveness, combat sys-tem, and quantity, reported Sohu.

Furthermore, a powerful air-craft carrier battle group requiresseveral years of training before itcan be cultivated. The technicalknow-how of the US in aircraftcarriers, as well as fighter jets, is30-40 years ahead of China, report-ed Sohu.

Without at least 20 years of ac-cumulation, our aircraft carrierscannot reach the level of the cur-rent US military in terms of per-formance. Come first, come later,maybe the Army and Air Force canadd some new equipment. Thenavy's complex combat systemcannot form effective combat ef-fectiveness in a short period oftime, added the Chinese daily.

Pakistan Prime MinisterImran Khan's work inprojecting himself as the

messiah of Muslims aroundthe world has been undercutby his deafening silence on theatrocities on the Uyghur Mi-norities by the country's all-weather ally China, saidMichael Kugelman, theDeputy Director of the AsiaProgram and Senior Associatefor South Asia at the WilsonCenter.

In an opinion piece in For-eign Policy, Kugelman citedthe reason behind Khan's si-lence on the issue, saying Is-lamabad depends heavily onBeijing for economic and po-litical support. Pakistan simplycannot afford to antagoniseBeijing by calling it out. Whenasked publicly about theUyghurs issue, Khan's re-sponses range from he knowslittle about the matters to say-ing he is privately discussingthe matter with Beijing. Ac-cording to Kugelman, one ofKhan's top advisor, MoeedYusuf, went so far as to saythat the government is "100per cent satisfied" that the situ-ation was a "nonissue,"adding: "We have zero con-

cerns, absolutely zero con-cerns." Moreover, some ofKhan's backers claim he re-mains silent as the matter isstrictly internal to China. How-ever, Kugelman said this hasn'tstopped him from weighing inon the plight of Muslims inMyanmar or, most recently,France. "But Khan's work inchampioning the world's Mus-lims is undercut by his deafen-ing silence on the oppressionof the Uyghur community inChina," he wrote. "The realreason for Khan's silence issimple: China is arguably Pak-istan's closest ally, and Islam-abad depends heavily on Bei-jing for economic and politicalsupport. Pakistan simply can-not afford to antagonise Bei-

jing by calling it out," headded.

China has been rebukedglobally for cracking down onUyghur Muslims by sendingthem to mass detention camps,interfering in their religious ac-tivities and sending membersof the community to undergosome form of forcible re-edu-cation or indoctrination. Bei-jing, on the other hand, has ve-hemently denied that it is en-gaged in human rights abusesagainst the Uyghurs in Xin-jiang while reports from jour-nalists, NGOs and former de-tainees have surfaced, high-lighting the Chinese Commu-nist Party's brutal crackdownon the ethnic community, ac-cording to a report.

Childhood trauma could af-fect the trajectory of mul-tiple sclerosis develop-

ment and response to treatmentin adulthood, a new study inmice found.

Mice that had experiencedstress when young were morelikely to develop the autoim-mune disorder and less likely torespond to common treatment,researchers at the University ofIllinois Urbana-Champaignfound. However, a treatmentthat activated an immune-cellreceptor mitigated the effects ofchildhood stress in the mice.The study was published in thejournal Nature Communica-tions. Multiple sclerosis is aprogressive autoimmune diseasein which the body attacks and

strips away the protective coat-ing around neurons, resulting ina wide range of neurologicalsymptoms. Both genetic and en-vironmental factors play a rolein MS development.

Previous work has shownthat early-life trauma increasessusceptibility to developingmore severe MS, but re-searchers have not been able todetermine how, said Makoto In-oue, a professor of comparativebiosciences at Illinois. In thenew study, Inoue's group stud-ied a mouse model of MS. Themice were genetically suscepti-ble to experimental autoimmuneencephalomyelitis, the modelmost widely used for studyingMS. The researchers watchedthe development and progres-

sion of EAE in mice that hadbeen briefly separated fromtheir mother and given a saleneinjection while young and com-pared it with mice that had notexperienced the same stress.

"Mice that had early-lifetrauma were more susceptible toEAE disease development andsuffered prolonged motor paral-ysis with severe neuronal dam-age in the central nervous sys-tem, which we found wascaused by a heightened immuneresponse," said graduate studentYee Ming Khaw, the first authorof the study.

The researchers traced theEAE triggers to the immunesystem - in particular, a receptoron immune cells that binds tothe stress hormone norepineph-

rine. The researchers found thatchildhood stress in the micetriggered a prolonged release ofnorepinephrine.

The receptor was activatedfor long periods of time, whichled the cells to decrease its ex-pression - leaving the immunesystem less equipped to re-spond to the stress and inflam-mation of EAE. Importantly,mice that developed EAE afterstress in their childhoods didnot respond to treatment withinterferon beta, one of the ini-tial therapies most widely pre-scribed to individuals with MS.Meanwhile, the drug effectivelyprevented EAE progression inmice without childhood stress,Khaw said.

Next, the researchers treat-

ed the mice with a compoundthat boosts the receptor's re-sponse. The treatment prevent-ed paralysis and slowed dam-age to the spinal cord. In addi-tion, mice that received thetreatment responded to interfer-on beta treatment, though theyhad not responded before.

"This work suggests that in-dividuals with experience ofchildhood trauma develop theautoimmune disease withsymptoms and mechanisms thatgreatly differ from their peerswith no history of childhoodtrauma, and may need differentmedical treatment," Inoue said.

"This receptor activatormay be a therapeutic drug forMS patients with a history ofchildhood trauma."

EDITORIALView from Covid cocoon

Over the past many months, we all have trav-elled farther inside ourselves than outside,contemplating our inner worlds as we stare

with wide-eyed trepidation at the world we seethrough our screens. For those of us with no need toleave home to care for society or put dal/roti on thetables for our families, we can ricochet between theanxiety of personal privations and the guilt of know-ing how much worse it is for too many or we canvalue and explore the new opportunities from home.Zoom fatigue may have dimmed some enthusiasmfor this kind of communication, but I rememberwhen it took hours to get an exorbitantly expensive“Lightning call” through in our pre-fibre optic days(God bless Sam Pitroda!). Today, I can read storiesand show the illustrations to my grandson in Singa-pore and celebrate in real time the joys of dailyevents with family near and far. When letters tooktwo weeks to arrive, it’s really quite fabulous that wehave WhatsApp, Google, Zoom, Instagram, FB, etc.,to connect. And you don’t need to let them over-whelm you either. My incoming social media is allmuted except for my daughter’s and I check the restvery intermittently. Occasionally, I do miss some-thing time-bound, but not enough to be addicted tochecking. Being at home meant I had to face teach-ing online. I’ve avoided this for years, despite re-quests, as it seemed too challenging logistically andof doubtful success. The other day, I asked one ofmy online classes what they discovered as the bestthing about being a homebody. Unanimously, theychimed in: “Being able to take Odissi classes!”These students include teachers, an astro-physicist,European language interpreters, professional Odissidancers and my teenage GOI scholarship holder,among others. They are spared the expense andhardships of travelling to India from London, SanPaolo, Atlanta, San Francisco, Vilnius, Berlin, Pune,Bhubaneswar and even Delhi as they simply flipopen their laptops to immerse themselves in a worldof metaphysical beauty. Whether my own choreogra-phies or those of my guru, Padmavibhusan Kelucha-ran Mohapatra, teaching online also means each ses-sion is easily recorded and uploaded to an unlistedYouTube playlist for indefinite review, reference; iteven allows dancers with scheduling conflicts neverto miss a class. Home time does mean more consum-ing of news, which can lead to “Doom scrolling”,not to mention being led down rabbit holes by socialmedia. Anything I watch on YouTube leads to theiralgorithm only showing me more of the same; some-times, I find myself watching repeats of US Senatehearings! Easy to see how QAnon and other bizarreconspiracy groups hypnotise the unwary.

Meeting for fund raising for Shree Ram temple heldANWAR HUSSAINBADDI, JAN 31

The Vishwa Hindu Parishaddistrict meeting was held in Baddiin which VHP Chief PatronDinesh Chandra attended. whileMahamandaleshwar Sri Sri 1008Vikas Das was present as thespecial guest. The meeting waschaired by the head of thedepartment, Master SurendraSharma. The meeting wasorganized to get information aboutthe public awareness campaign byRam devotees by reaching homefrom house to house under thefund raising campaign forconstruction of Ram temple. At thesame time, the energy andenthusiasm of Ram devotees wasalso multiplied by the nationalspeakers by their address. Givingthe keynote address, DineshChandra said that on August 5,

2020, more than 16 crores peoplewatched the live broadcast of thecommencement of the RamMandir Bhoomi Pujanconstruction work in 200countries, which is the biggesthistorical moment ever. Theawakening of Ram templeconstruction went ahead in 1983and on 6 December 1992, Ramdevotees demolished the BaariMosque within just four and a halfhours. At that time, more than3000 Ram sevaks sacrificed. Thus

far 77 wars were fought for theconstruction of Ram temple andmore than four lakh Ram devoteessacrificed. We are all fortunate thatnot only before our eyes, we aregetting an opportunity to pour oursacrifice in the construction ofRam temple. He said that verylarge institutions are eager to builda temple with thousands of croresof rupees for the construction ofthe temple, but the templeconstruction trust committee hasdecided that Ram is the faith of allIndians and the soul of the people,so 11 out of 4 lakh villages Ramtemple will be built by collectingfund dedication from crores offamilies. And in this, from the eastto the west and from the north tothe south, the center of faith isgiving heartily donations to theRam temple.
