August 12, 2014

Modi criticisesLeh, Aug 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today condemned the "continuing proxy war by Pakistan".

Addressing soldiers at Leh, Modi said that the "neighbouring country has lost the strength to fight a conventional war, but continues to engage in the proxy war of terrorism".

He said that the Indian military are suffering more casualties from terrorism than from war.

There was a time when prime ministers rarely visited Jammu and Kashmir, but now the prime minister has come here twice, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here Tuesday.

"There was a time when...prime ministers would not come (here), and now twice the prime minister has come," said Modi.

Modi is on a day-long visit to Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh region and he inaugurated the 45 MW Nimoo-Bazgo hydroelectric power project.

"Your affection draws me here," said Modi at a rally held at the Leh polo ground.

"I know the problems people face and most importantly I know the strength of this land," said Modi.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 23: Amid a spurt in coronavirus cases, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has asked the Centre to give the states authority to give clearances for manufacturing masks, gloves and sanitisers.

In a letter addressed to prime minister Narendra Modi, Vijayan said during the crisis, masks and sanitisers are needed in large numbers.

"As an interim, states must be given authority to give clearances of manufacturing of items related to medical devices, sanitisers, chemicals, etc. which are needed for fighting Covid-19," Vijayan said in the letter.

He also sought permission for the state home department to use drones for the relevant applications related to Covid-19.

"In China and elsewhere in the world, drones have been used extensively in minimising human contact, disinfection, etc. Unfortunately, with the current laws pertaining to the use of drones, none of these is possible in India," the chief minister said.

He also sought permission to access and use facilities available with all central institutions and research labs operating in the state.

The chief minister shared the letter on his Twitter handle.

With 15 new positive cases of Covid-19, the total number of infected persons in Kerala had gone up to 67, including the three who were discharged after recovery last month.
