The event marked AAP's historic decision to expand its network globally including in the Gulf countries, where nearly seven million Indian expats are currently working.

Speaking on the occasion, a legislator of Delhi's ruling party and the party's co-convener of its Overseas Chapter, Adarsh Shastri, said the party provides an alternative system of good governance.

“India's deep rooted corruption and dynastic political system will be transformed to non-corrupt, development- and issue-based governance by AAP,” he said and hailed Arvind Kejriwal's leadership.

The event, attended by a large number of expatriates, also provided an opportunity to take stock of the situation of India, which has been marred by several controversies and movements in recent times.

Shastri said the mood of the country toward the political system has changed after path-breaking initiatives taken by the AAP government after it came to power in Delhi in early 2014.
Social infrastructure like education, health, social welfare have been given top priority while free water, electricity, abolition of VIP status, completion of public projects were ensured to be completed within stipulated time.

Besides, citizens participation in administration through mohalla sabha, passing the janalokpaal bill, taking strict action against corrupt officials have restored people's confidence in government and party, he said.

Kerala State Convener C. R. Neelakandan also spoke on the occasion, which was presided over by Basheer Aramboor. Mansoor welcomed the audience while Abdul Azees proposed the vote of thanks. Shameem conducted the program.

During the interactive session that followed, a number of questions about AAP including poor attention given to senior citizens in government hospitals, poor health infrastructure, corruption, unauthorized constructions, adulteration in food items, turning Yamuna shores into spots for tourist attraction, participation of public in decision-making process and other issues were discussed. AAP has developed a strong support base in India as well as among the Indian expatriates community across the globe. Party supporters and well-wishers from the different parts of the country participated in the event.

Supply of free water, electrify, wifi, if it is true it will boost their image in other states also. Same way reduce house tax also. This is because it is being increase consistently. Sami irritations like paid Parking in cities if removed will make the citizens have a breath of relief. Politicians hardly understand this. Since Arvind may grasp the seriousness of the points raised, who will inform him or bring this to his attention. These are issues people are suffering worth attending to if u really care for the aam aadmi instead of tall claims. Difference will declare itself in th next general election .

Apr 9: A panel of experts in the Karnataka state has suggested that the ongoing lockdown should be continued in districts identified as Covid-19 hotspots, including Bengaluru, to limit the spread of the pandemic.

IT companies and government offices providing essential services should be allowed to function with 50% staff, according to the committee headed by Narayana Health chairman Dr Devi Shetty, which submitted its report to chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday.

It has also asked the government to ease restrictions gradually and take adequate care over the next six months to contain the outbreak. The committee urged the government not to permit AC buses and metro services till April 30 and allow private vehicles only on alternate days (even-odd number-wise) for two weeks after April 15.

The government must close schools and colleges till May 31 and allow only inter-state movement of goods transport. The government could allow non-AC shops to open. It has suggested that the ban on inter-state train and flight services should continue.

Education minister S Suresh Kumar, who is the state Covid-19 spokesperson, said the Cabinet, which is meeting on Thursday, may discuss the recommendations and take a view on de-escalation of the lockdown.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with chief ministers through videoconference on April 11, after which the government will get an idea about the Centre’s thinking, he said.

While some states including Kerala, Maharashtra and Telangana have favoured continuation of the lockdown, Yediyurappa has not taken any stand publicly and has instead been implementing the Centre’s decision.

Six new cases

Karnataka on Wednesday reported six new Covid-19 positive cases, including that of a 65-year-old person in Kalaburagi, who died due to severe acute respiratory infection.

The health authorities have issued a notice to the private hospital -- where the deceased was initially admitted before being taken to a government hospital -- for not reporting the case to the government. The government has locked down the hospital, kept its entire medical team under quarantine, and police have registered a case of criminal negligence against the hospital authorities.

Of the other five positive cases, two had a travel history to Delhi, one had contact with a Dubai returnee and two others had close contacts with infected people.

This takes the total number of positive cases in the state to 181. Five people have died, while 28 have been discharged so far.

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus. 

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
