Covid-19 Lockdown 2021 India Live updates: Delhi reports 3,567 new cases, second highest single-day surge in 2021; Himachal shuts schools

 

Covid-19 Cases in India, Coronavirus Lockdown 2021 Live Updates: India reported 89,129 new cases on Saturday, taking the total number of coronavirus infections in the country to 1,23,92,260

Maharashtra alone on Friday reported 47,827 new Covid-19 cases, the highest ever since the pandemic has started.

New cases (daily) of coronavirus in India approached the critical mark of 90,000 on Saturday, several states and Union Territories (UTs) announced stricter Covid-19 rules like restrictions on movements, night curfew, lockdowns (in some districts, though limited), and mini containment zones, etc. in order to limit the spread of the second wave of coronavirus infections in the country. India reported 89,129 new cases on Saturday, taking the total number of coronavirus infections in the country to 1,23,92,260.

Many states/UTs have been witnessing new peaks in terms of daily new Covid-19 cases for the past few weeks even as the Covid-19 vaccination drive, one of the largest in the world, picked up the pace with the beginning of the third phase for inoculation of people above 45 years from April 1. The Union Health Ministry on Friday said 11 states/UTs –Maharashtra, Punjab, Karnataka Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Chandigarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Haryana – are of “grave concern”. In the past two weeks, these 11 states have contributed over 90% to the national Covid-19 tally.

The Centre specifically said the Covid-19 situation in Maharashtra was “worrying”. Maharashtra alone on Friday reported 47,827 new Covid-19 cases, the highest ever since the pandemic has started.  State Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said stricter measures will be announced to prevent crowding. If the situation gets worse and the Covid-19 spike continues, putting further pressure on the already-stretched healthcare infrastructure in the state, a decision (on lockdown) may have to be taken after two days following consultations with experts and political leaders. “Today, I am warning about complete lockdown but not announcing it. I will speak to experts and political leaders in the next two days. If there is no other option to a lockdown, we will have to accept it,” Thackeray.

But the big question: Is lockdown the answer to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic?

As states imposed new restrictions and issued guidelines, here’s FE Online blog covering every single development – virus, vaccine, Covid-19 guidelines, curbs, and lockdown, etc.—you all need to know.

BOLLYWOOD Kareena Kapoor Khan throws it back to pre-pregnancy, pre-pandemic days in new Instagram pic from Switzerland. See here Kareena Kapoor Khan has shared a new Instagram post, of an old vacation in Switzerland. Check it out here.

 

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan used to make frequent trips to Switzerland.

Actor Kareena Kapoor is feeling nostalgic about Switzerland, where she and her husband Saif Ali Khan reportedly have a holiday home. Kareena and Saif recently welcomed their second child, a boy, in February.

On Saturday, she took to Instagram to share a selfie from an earlier trip to Switzerland. She wrote, "Apres ski days ❤️ Will they return?" Après-ski is a French term that translates literally to 'after ski' or 'after skiing'.

Recently, Kareena had also shared a picture from a family trip to London, which she has described in the past as her favorite city. Kareena had captioned the post, "Always better together PS: London, I can't wait to be back."

Kareena, Saif, and their four-year-old son Taimur welcomed New Year 2020 at Gstaad. Towards the end of the year, Kareena had expressed regret that they couldn't celebrate in a similar fashion again, because of the pandemic. She'd written in a throwback post, "Will miss you this year...Gstaad my love.”

Kareena returned to work a little over a month after she and Saif welcomed their second son. Kareena worked through most of her pregnancy, recording her talk show and appearing in ads.

The couple hasn't revealed their son's face or name, perhaps in an effort to avoid the scrutiny that they had to deal with after Taimur's birth. She did, however, post a picture with the newborn on Women's Day this year. Later, Saif's sister Saba shared another picture of the baby in his hands. Neither picture showed the child's face.

Kareena will next be seen in Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, which she completed filming shortly after announcing her second pregnancy. The film is the official remake of Hollywood classic Forrest Gump.

Realme X7 Pro Ultra announced: curved screen, triple camera, and Dimensity 1000+

 Realme unveiled the X7 Pro last September, and today it quietly released its Ultra variant, or Extreme Edition depending on which version of the machine translation from Chinese we go with.


One might expect it to come with improvements over the X7 Pro, and it does, but we are also looking at some downgrades here. For starters, the X7 Pro features a 120Hz FullHD+ flat AMOLED screen, but the Ultra packs a 90Hz display, albeit with curved edges.


The number of rear cameras has also reduced from four on the X7 Pro to three on the Ultra, but in practical terms nothing changed as Realme only ditched the 2MP depth sensor while retaining the 64MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro units.


On the upside, the Realme X7 Pro Ultra runs Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 out of the box, while the global X7 Pro is still stuck with Realme UI 1.0 based on Android 10. The top-end model also comes with 12GB RAM now with 256GB storage. And if you don't need as much and prefer to save a few bucks, there's another variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage onboard. There are no 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB memory options like the X7 Pro.

Despite packing a 4,500 mAh battery - charging at up to 65W - like the X7 Pro, the Extreme Edition is slimmer (7.8mm) and lighter (170 grams) than the X7 Pro. Besides, the "Dare To Leap" text on the rear panel is now smaller and placed below the camera island, with the Realme logo on the opposite side.



What remains the same on Realme X7 Pro Ultra is the Density 1000+ SoC, 32MP selfie camera, in-display fingerprint reader, USB-C port, stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, VC liquid cooling, NFC, and 5G support.

The Realme X7 Pro Ultra is offered in two colors and is already available for purchase in China through the company's official site. The 8GB/128GB model is priced at CNY2,399 ($365/€310), while the 12GB/256GB variant costs CNY2,699 ($410/€350). Although early birds can get one for CNY100 ($15/€13) less.

There's no word on X7 Pro Ultra's availability outside China, but with the X9 Pro just around the corner chances look slim. You can read our Realme X7 Pro hands-on review to learn more about it.

ड्रग्स मामले में गिरफ्तार किया अभिनेता एजाज खान से पूछताछ के बाद ये छापेमारी की गई. एक्टर के साथ उस घर मे एक विदेशी महिला भी रहती थी वो भी फरार है

मुंबई एनसीबी ने बीती रात अंधेरी के लोखंडवाला इलाके में एक टीवी एक्टर के घर पे छापेमारी की, इस छापेमारी में एनसीबी ने कई प्रकार के ड्रग्स भी बरामद किए हैं. हालांकि छापामारी करने पहुची एनसीबी की भनक लगने से कुछ मिनट पहले ही एक्टर अपने घर से फरार हो गया.


ड्रग्स मामले में गिरफ्तार किया अभिनेता एजाज खान से पूछताछ के बाद ये छापेमारी की गई. एक्टर के साथ उस घर मे एक विदेशी महिला भी रहती थी वो भी फरार है. NCB दोनो एक्टर और विदेशी महिला की तलाश कर रही है.


आपको बता दें कि एनसीबी ने कोर्ट में कहा था कि पिछले दिनों ड्रग्स मामले में गिरफ्तार किए गए  शादाब बटाटा और एजाज खान के बीच संबंध मिले हैं. एनसीबी ने कहा कि हमें व्हाट्सएप चैट्स मिले हैं, वाइस नॉट्स मिले हैं जिनसे इस बात की पुष्टि होती है कि ड्रग्स मामले में एजाज खान संलिप्त हैं.एनसीबी ने कोर्ट में ये भी कहा कि वह दोनों को आमने-सामने बैठाकर पूछताछ करना चाहती हैं. वहीं ये भी कहा गया कि  एजाज एक प्रभावशाली व्यक्ति है और वे अपने रसूख का  इस्तेमाल गलत कामों के लिए कर रहे हैं. वहीं एजाज के वकील ने कोर्ट में कहा कि “एजाज के घर से कोई ड्रग्स नही मिली है. जो दवाइयां मिली हैं जब्त की गई हैं वे उनकी पत्नी की है.”


वहीं एनसीबी और एजाज के वकील की दलीलें सुनने के बाद कोर्ट ने एजेंसी की मांग को मानते हुए एजाज की 3 दिन की कस्टडी की मंजूरी दे दी. जिसके बाद एजाज खान अब तीन दिन तक एनसीबी की कस्टडी में रहेंगे. एनसीबी को उम्मीद हैं कि अब कई और बड़ी हस्तियों ड्रग्स कनेक्शन का पर्दाफाश होगा.
