Will sympathy for late Virbhadra Singh lift Congress' chances in Himachal poll?

-


Wiped-out in the five states during recent polls, the Congress cannot hope for better days in Himachal Pradesh, slated to witness elections by the year's end.

Having run -out of leadership in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress is seeing a hope in the legacy politics ahead of the polls. It precisely aims to encash the sympathy factor in favour of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.

Six-time Chief Minister, a Congress stalwart indeed, died last year at age of 87.

On Tuesday, the Congress appointed his wife Pratibha Singh, a sitting MP as new state party president, apparently unable to find a potential second line leader to lead the congress to the poll, against the well-entrenched BJP or  counter AAP's buzz in the Shimla hills.

The congress has also revamped the party organisational structure and appointed four working presidents for 'caste and regional balance'.

A former PCC president Sukhwinder Singh, one of Chief Ministerial post aspirants has been made Chairman of the congress campaign committee while Congress Legislature Party leader Mukesh Agnihotri, another CM post claimant will continue to hold his position.

Indian scientists develop better technique to detect Covid-19

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
