Kochi: The High Court has said that KSEB has a legal obligation to provide electricity connection within a month if the application is received. The court order upheld the fine imposed on the officials for delaying the provision of electricity connection. At the same time, Justice Murali Purushothaman said that water and electricity are an integral part of the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution. The High Court pointed out that under Section 43 of the Electricity Act, the connection must be made within one month of receipt of the application.

KSEB officials had fined P Zainuddin, a resident of Malappuram Kuttipala, for not following the order of the consumer complaint forum to provide electricity connection. However, the board said that Zainuddin was given a power connection while the petition was pending. Assistant Executive Engineer KN Raveendranathan and Assistant Engineer K Keeran had approached the High Court.
The court’s verdict is on their petition. Zainuddin applied in May 2013 for an electrical connection to a 300-square-foot home. However, the application was rejected citing technical reasons. The order given by the forum in the complaint against this was not complied with. Subsequently, in a complaint filed with the Zainuddin Electricity Regulatory Commission, Rabindranath was ordered to pay a fine of Rs 50,000 and Keeran Rs 25,000.

New Delhi: The rise in Covid cases in the country could be the beginning of a second wave, says AIIMS director. Studies have shown that Covid spreads locally. AIIMS director Randeep Guleria warned that the possibility of it spreading to other parts of the country could not be ruled out. There has been a 30 percent increase in daily covid cases in a week. Maharashtra has the highest incidence of Covid. About 60 percent of new cases are from Maharashtra. The disease is reported to be spreading to other states. The increase in the number of patients is due to the failure to meet the Covid standards. Randeep Guleria said new variants of Covid are more likely to intensify.

At the same time, do not panic about the spread of the disease. In this case, the people are worried about whether the lockdown will be announced again. He said it was advisable to conduct daily testing and isolation to prevent the spread of the disease and to give priority to vaccinating groups, including adults.

Berlin: Germany has suspended the use of the coronavirus vaccine AstraZeneca. The German Ministry of Health has announced that it is suspending the use of the AstraZeneca Covid 19 vaccine on the recommendation of the German Vaccine Agency.
 The move follows recent reports that vaccination in Germany and Europe could affect cerebral veins and thromboses. An inquiry into the matter is necessary, German Health Minister Jens Spann said, referring to the recommendation of the Paul Erlich Institute, the country’s vaccine authority. In Germany, only people under the age of 64 are allowed to use it.

Germany’s new move comes in the wake of growing concerns around the world about blood clots in vaccinated people. Earlier, it was reported that a woman who had been vaccinated had died in Austria and a man in Italy, but it has not yet been confirmed that the death was not a side effect of the vaccine. Yet in the shadow of a doubt. Currently, Norway, Austria, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Thailand have suspended the use of a certain AstraZeneca batch since last week. Italy and Romania have stopped using another batch. The European Medicines Agency has not yet determined how the new findings will affect vaccine approval.

Many European countries, including Ireland and the Netherlands, have suspended the use of the job, which was jointly developed with Oxford University.

The British-Swedish company and Oxford have revealed that there is no link between their vaccine and blood clotting, but doubts remain. The company claims that the vaccine is 74 percent effective. But the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that drug monitoring in Europe, governments, and experts have not established a causal link between the vaccine and blood clots.
A spokesman for AstraZeneca said it had so far found no evidence of increased blood clotting after analyzing reported cases from more than 17 million doses. Many other countries have stopped using one batch of vaccines.
