Covid Infection In Remote Areas
Though the severity of the second wave of coronavirus is increasing alarmingly, the number of sample tests is not increasing. Corona tests are almost below in the rural areas. The virus seems not much affecting most of the rural people, as they behave. Despite having symptoms of corona infection, they are moving around as usual. But infection in rural areas is now comparatively higher than the urban areas.
Therefore, possibility of a community spread of Covid-19 in remote areas still remains high. In addition to the availability of vaccines, the authority should take immediate measures to make rural people aware of health guidelines.

Prevent Illegal Sand Extraction
Unplanned sand extraction and whimsical river excavation have been posing serious threat to biodiversity and causing river erosion in different parts of the country. Some local musclemen often control Balu Mahal (sand extraction zone) illegally.
So, the respective authorities should take measures to conduct a survey for Balu Mahal and fix the quantity of sand that can be extracted.
Proper initiative, coordinated effort and a unified system are highly expected from the authorities concerned with an aim of ending-up indiscriminate sand extraction and saving the country’s rivers from erosion.
