People will be interested to see if the government comes out with actual borrowing figures, this time, says Sandip Sabharwal, analyst, asksandipsabharwal.com Budget has been prone to being a non-event for the markets. The expectations this time are low and the prime minister himself has talked about how we have had four mini Budgets over 2020 alluding to a slew of incremental reforms that the government has tried to put in place through the year. What could be the silver lining this time around?The allocations to capital expenditure should increase but the fact of the matter is that in terms of fiscal deficit per se, we need to look at figures. This year, the government is expected to borrow around Rs 11.5 crore which is almost 4 lakh crore more than what they did last year. With the improvement in growth, tax revenues, etc, the expected borrowing is expected to be Rs 2 lakh crore more than what it was in 2019-20. As normalcy returns, as extraordinary liquidity of the RBI gets removed, managing the borrowing programme by itself will become a challenge. Although growth revival will be strong next year, the challenge will be to borrow non-structurally so that interest rates do not go u People will be interested to know if the government comes out with the actual borrowing figures. This includes the state government borrowing, of course. That is one critical part. The second is an extra Rs 50,000-70,000 crore will be required for the vaccination programme which the government will front. I just hope that they do not come out with a cess for that. I do not think that will be taken positively at all. At a time when we need to boost revival in the consumption as well as overall basket, any new cess will not be taken positively. I would hope that they will avoid that. They do not go in for another cess. The other factors are that in terms of the disinvestment, every year they come out with a huge figure which is not met. There needs to be a serious attempt to achieve what they set out to do and that can only be done through professional management of the disinvestment process. I do not think the bureaucracy can handle that. There has been talk about some professional fund manager or a system being implemented to take care of the disinvestment process. I hope they go ahead and do that because that is the only way they will be able to get one -- maximum value, secondly achieve the targets they set out for themselves. Ex of that, the global events are much greater than an Indian budget.

NEW DELHI: India on Monday stated that it has noted Myanmar developments with deep concern and called for upholding rule of law and democratic process. “We have noted the developments in Myanmar with deep concern. India has always been steadfast in its support to the process of democratic transition in Myanmar. We believe that the rule of law and the democratic process must be upheld. We are monitoring the situation closely,” MEA noted in a strongly-worded statement. India has huge stakes in Myanmar who was recently gifted Covishield vaccines. India shares over 1600 km long land boundary with Myanmar. It also shares a maritime boundary and has supplied submarines to Myanmar military. USA and Australia have reacted strongly to the developments asking the leaders to be freed. Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the governing party were detained in a series of early morning raids, the spokesman for the governing National League for Democracy said on Monday, following days of escalating tension between her civilian government and the country’s military fulled talk of a coup.Spokesman Myo Nyunt told Reuters news agency that Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders had been “taken” in the early hours of the morning.Myo Nyunt later told AFP news agency that given the situation, “we have to assume that the military is staging a coup.”Myanmar’s Parliament, where the military is given a quarter of seats -- the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) -- was due to sit in the country’s capital Naypyitaw from Monday.The NLD won November’s elections by a landslide and military may have feared that they could be marginalised. Indian Foreign Secretary and Army Chief visited Myanmar in October to widen strategic cooperation.During Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla’s visit to Myanmar in October, he held extensive discussions on ways to mitigate Covid-19 impact, including through vaccine development, the supply of medicines, equipment and technology and capacity building. “Myanmar is a country of special importance to us as it stands at the confluence of our ‘Neighborhood First’ and ‘Act East’ policies…We are meeting in exceptional times that have thrown up challenges but also avenues and opportunities to collaborate in divergent and multifaceted areas. India is prepared to continue to extend all possible support to Myanmar in mitigating the health and economic impact of COVID-19...With respect to the COVID vaccine, we stand committed to sharing our capabilities with our strategic partners, including Myanmar, in our collective best interest,” Shringla had said on that occasion. During the October visit, it was decided to expand security partnership through early conclusion of the Extradition Treaty, Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty on Civil and Commercial matters and Agreement on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons to fight cross-border insurgency. It may be recalled that Myanmar handed over 22 insurgents to India in the middle of last year. Myanmar is India’s closest defence partner in the region. A team for the deployment of Meteorological squadrons visited Myanmar last year. India will also host Myanmar’s representative at Information Fusion Centre for the Indian Ocean Region.India’s assistance to Myanmar is around $ 1.4 billion. The Sittwe Port built by India and key to Kaladan Multimodal transport project will be operationalised by the first quarter of 2021. With respect to the 69 bridges on the Trilateral Highway, India will soon be moving forward with the tendering process, it has been learnt. Trilateral Highway connects India with Thailand via Myanmar and maybe explored to connect Vietnam. Other Indo-Myanmar agreements such as Project Agreement for the establishment of modern Integrated Check Post at Tamu, MoU for the construction of 50 basic schools and the Project Agreement for the upgrading of agricultural mechanization sub-station will be signed shortly. India will also extend support for the construction of Bwaynu bridge in Myanmar. In the recent past, there has been pushback against China by Myanmar over fears of the debt trap and BRI projects had slowed down.

New Delhi: Despite regulatory curbs, Indian startups continue to receive 85% of their funding from overseas investors. The government wants to change that.First, the government tweaked the country’s FDI policy so as to limit Chinese investments into India amid border skirmishes. Now, it has started deliberations on allowing domestic pension and insurance funds to invest in startups to give them access to stable, long-term capital, ET reported on 28 January.This, however, isn’t the first time such an idea has been mooted, but industry watchers say now is the right time for Indian institutional investors to become stakeholders in India’s startup story and set the tone for growth for the next decade.Flipping StartupsThat Indian startups are operating here but registering themselves in international hubs such as Singapore and the US for growth capital has caused alarm in the government. “Flipping”, as the practice is known in industry parlance, helps investors in these markets reduce time spent on paperwork and regulatory procedures.This issue was most recently raised by Sanjeev Bikhchandani, founder of Info Edge (India) Ltd. that counts job portal Naukri.com and foodtech startup Zomato among its investee companies.“Over the last 5-7 years, I reckon, between 500-1,000 Indian companies have flipped, and we need to understand that only the best startups flip as these are wooed by overseas investors, he said in an interview with ET Now last month. “Even if 2% become as successful as Naukri and only 0.5% become as successful as Infosys, it is a future loss of about Rs 17 lakh crore as per today’s market capitalisation.” “I’m not saying ban flipping. I’m saying create conditions that flipping does not happen… Remember, with flipping, we are losing data, IP (intellectual property), and ownership as a nation,” he added.To be sure, countries such as Singapore are actively poaching Indian entrepreneurs by easing regulations and providing tax breaks, said Siddharth Pai, founding partner at venture capital firm 3one4 Capital. By not allowing domestic institutional investment in startups, India is missing out on its own growth story, he said.“If not now, then even if they try doing this two-three years down the line, we lose a generation of entrepreneurs, essentially outside the country,” said Pai, who is also the co-chair (regulatory affairs committee) at industry body Indian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (IVCA). “Once our flywheel starts, it will be very hard for them to actually attract people.”It was in December 2019 that the IVCA first mooted the idea of Indian pension funds investing in Indian startups—urging them to allocate 1% of their overall assets to alternate investment funds. The industry body proposed the creation of a startup fund-of-funds backed by the government to channel such investments.According to Abir Lal Dey, partner at L&L Partners, the current regulatory framework does not explicitly allow domestic pension funds and insurance firms to invest in alternative investment funds for startups.“Allowing such startup investments at the fag end of a pandemic is a welcome change for the stakeholders including the professionals. We will have to wait for the budget for more clarity in this regard,” he said.The Indian government would also need capital to support a recently announced fund-of-funds for startups, which could be the route for domestic pension funds to pump money into startups, Pai said.Speaking at the 2021 Resurgence TiEcon event in New Delhi on 29 January, Commerce and Industries Minister Piyush Goyal said private and public sector players should come together and dedicate a portion of their wealth to early-stage startups.“I believe that if all our businesspersons come together and pull their resources—maybe in an initial Rs 10,000 crore in a fund that is domestically driven and professionally managed with no role of the government—then we can really do a great service to the startup world,” he said.

Mumbai: Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and industry leaders are hitting the panic button as the government prepares to outlaw trade in private e-money ahead of the potential launch of India’s official digital currency.On Friday, the Centre announced that it will introduce the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021, in the ongoing budget session. It is aimed at paving the way for eventual introduction of digital money by the country’s central bank at a time when China is testing a version of its digital yuan. Industry mavens, who welcome the government’s move, remain concerned with the provision seeking to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies, while allowing certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology. “We believe these are two important and distinct subjects,” said Naveen Surya, chairman emeritus at Payments Council of India. While bringing in a central bank digital currency could be a tool for expansion of the digital payment industry, “banning of private cryptocurrency is a separate subject…”, he said.Regulation, Not Ban“It deems a look by a separate committee and should be reviewed in detail,” Surya said. The cryptocurrency industry has long been seeking regulation of the digital asset, arguing against a ban. The current bill, experts reckon, may resolve ambiguity on trade in digital money, which is currently neither banned nor legalised in India. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) barred regulated entities such as banks from allowing trade on crypto exchanges in 2018. However, the Supreme Court overturned this move in March 2020, removing restrictions on cryptocurrency trade through banking channels.Price DropsExchange founders said there was panic within the Indian cryptocurrency investor community following news of the bill. “The Indian crypto industry is in a panic right now, based on the price movements I see on exchanges,” said Sathvik Vishwanath, chief executive of cryptocurrency exchange Unocoin.The price of bitcoin dropped on Indian exchanges on Sunday afternoon in comparison to global counterparts. On CoindDCX, the price of one bitcoin in a 24-hour period had seen a fall of 8%, at Rs 23,96,030. On global exchange Binance, the price of a bitcoin had fallen 1.88% in the same period to $33,639, or Rs 24,52,513.“The news that the government will consider a bill is not new. However, this is not something that can be taken lightly. Efforts have been taken to keep the relevant parties informed,” Vishwanath said.Cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoins, have seen a meteoric rise in the last few months, prompting more Indian investors to purchase the asset. Bitcoin prices rose close to 15% globally in a matter of minutes on Friday after Elon Musk, chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, added #bitcoin to his Twitter bio.In a tweet on Saturday, Congress politician Milind Deora said, “India must develop its own digital currency. China is already testing a digital yuan to accelerate the replacement of cash. Not sure why we’re banning other cryptocurrencies though. Blockchain technology is the future. RBI must embrace not fear it.”

New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur on Monday asserted that the budget 2021-22 will be in accordance with people's expectations and added that the government is working towards a self-reliant India and making its economy grow. "The Budget will be in accordance with people's expectations. Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas is the agenda of the Modi government. The government which functions on the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas' gave a new direction to India by announcing the Aatmanirbhar package, protecting it from the pandemic and bringing the economy back on track swiftly," Thakur told ANI. "I have full confidence the budget will fulfill the aspirations of the people. We will continue to make efforts to make India self-reliant and make our economy grow," he added. Thakur also offered prayers at his residence, ahead of the presentation of the Union Budget 2021-22 in the Parliament. All eyes are fixed on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she is set to present Union Budget 2021-22 in Parliament on Monday, at a time when India is recovering from the COVID-19 crisis. The Budget presentation will begin with a speech from Finance Minister scheduled to take place at around 11 am. The Union Cabinet will hold a meeting at 10:15 am before the presentation. This year, the Union Budget will be delivered in paperless form for the first time. The Finance Minister had launched the "Union Budget Mobile App" for hassle-free access of Budget documents by Members of Parliament (MPs) and the general public using the simplest form of digital convenience, according to the Finance Ministry. The App facilitates complete access to 14 Union Budget documents, including the Annual Financial Statement (commonly known as Budget), Demand for Grants (DG), and Finance Bill as prescribed by the Constitution. Ahead of the Budget, Sitharaman tabled the Economic Survey in Parliament on Friday. The Indian economy can contract by 7.7 per cent in the current financial year ending on March 31 and the growth could be 11 per cent in the next financial year, according to the survey.The contraction in FY21 is mainly due to the coronavirus pandemic and the visible damage caused by the subsequent countrywide lockdown to contain it.The survey unveiled two days before the Union Budget is broadly in line with forecasts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which has said it expected the country's GDP to contract by 7.5 per cent in the year ending March 31.In the quarter ending June 2020, the GDP contracted by 23.9 per cent followed by a milder contraction of 7.5 per cent in the quarter ended September 2020.The first part of the Budget Session is scheduled to continue till February 15 while the second part of the session will be held from March 8 to April 8. Rajya Sabha will function from 9 am to 2 pm and Lok Sabha from 4 pm to 9 pm with Zero Hour and Question Hour. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Saturday that the budget session will take up 38 legislative items.

All eyes are on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she will be presenting the Union Budget 2021 today, i.e., February 1. There is more interest and expectations this year from the budget due to the novel coronavirus pandemic and the impact it has had on various segments of the economy.For the salaried class, the year 2020 was marred with job loss, pay cuts, higher inflation and so on. That is why many are hoping for announcements that can at least help ease their tax burden. Here is a list of some of the expectations of the common man from the Union Budget 2021. Hike in tax exemption limitTop on the wish list of the salaried class is a hike in the basic exemption limit from the current level of Rs 2.5 lakh. The last time tax exemption limit was hiked was in Budget 2014-15. Though Sitharaman announced a new tax regime in last year's budget which offered lower tax rates, however, no changes were made in the tax exemption limit. By hiking the tax exemption limit, the government can incentivise people to spend more and boost consumption in the economy.Homi Mistry, Tax Partner, Deloitte India says, "The immediate expectation is to reduce the tax burden of taxpayers. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected everyone in some way or the other. Increasing the basic exemption limit will provide tax respite to individuals, increase liquidity, and give a boost to the economy."Hike in deduction allowed on health insurance premium paidThanks to the pandemic, many of us have become aware of the importance of health insurance and the role it can play in protecting our finances in case of a medical emergency. At present, income tax laws offer tax benefit on the health insurance premium paid.An individual can claim a deduction of Rs 25,000 for health insurance premium paid for self, spouse and dependant children. Additional deduction of Rs 50,000 is available for health insurance premium paid for parents. However, there is a need to hike the deduction amount available on the health insurance premium paid so that an individual can buy adequate medical coverage for their family.Surabhi Marwah, Partner-People Advisory Services, EY India says, "The limits currently prescribed (Rs 25,000 to Rs 100,000 which depend primarily on the age of the individual and the coverage of family members) under section 80D are not in-line with the likely expense that an individual may incur. It is an ask that the overall limit be increased to reflect the on-ground reality."Leave Travel Concession (LTC) Cash Voucher SchemeIn October of 2020, the government announced the LTC Cash Voucher Scheme to provide a tax benefit to individuals and also to boost consumption in the economy. The last date to avail the benefit under the scheme is March 31, 2021. As per tax experts, the government should extend the last date of the scheme as it is likely that many people would have postponed their travel plans to 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions in 2020. Further, the government should lower the minimum spending amount to make the scheme more attractive. As per scheme guidelines, following conditions must be satisfied to be eligible under the scheme:a) Spend three times of the deemed LTC fare on the goods/services attracting GST of 12% or above;b) Expenditure must be made between October 12, 2020, and March 31, 2021;c) Payment must be made via digital mode;d) Invoices must be submitted to an employer containing GST number of the vendor along with the GST amount paid.Mistry says, "Spending three times the value of LTC fare seems high. Therefore, the government may consider reducing the spending required to twice the value of LTC fare. Also, an extension of the scheme for an additional nine months, i.e., up to December 31, 2021 (till the end of the block period of 2018-2021) may be considered."Relaxation in residency criteria for NRI for FY 2020-21Due to coronavirus-related travel restrictions, many non-resident Indians (NRI) have been stranded in India. As the stay of many NRIs would have exceeded the desired number of days to meet the residency conditions to remain NRI under the income tax laws, relaxation is needed. Further, rules for determining the residency conditions have been changed effective from FY 2020-21. Effective from April 1, 2020, if the total income accrued in India for an NRI exceeds Rs 15 lakh, then in such a case if he/she stays in India for up to 120 days to remain non-resident in India. On the other hand, if the total taxable income accrued in India does not exceed Rs 15 lakh, then he/she can remain non-resident for up to 182 days in India. If the stay in India exceeds the maximum limit mentioned above (depending on the income), then the individual will be classified either as a Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) or Not Ordinarily Resident (NOR), as determined by additional residency conditions.The income tax department has provided similar relaxation for FY 2019-20 via a circular dated May 8, 2020. Mistry says, "Due to the pandemic, the government had notified exemption of certain days for determining residency for FY 2019-20 for individuals who were stranded in India on account of the lockdown and who could not travel outside India. For FY 2020-21 also, the government should issue the necessary clarification providing relief for stranded individuals on account of the pandemic."Deduction for work-from-home allowanceAs majority of employees are now working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic, they have to incur expenses such as buying table, chair etc. However, no tax benefits are available on such expenses made by an employee. There is a need to provide tax benefits to such employees for the expenses made for working from home.Mistry says, "Budget 2021 should introduce measures which would provide certain tax benefits for employees. For example, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 from gross income could be provided (over and above the existing standard deduction from salary) to allow for expenditure by employees who are working from home on ergonomic chairs/furniture, computer equipment, data cards, etc."The above mentioned are few expectations that people want from finance minister in this budget, however, as per tax experts, there are certain announcements that can be seen in the Budget 2021 to raise additional revenue. Sonu Iyer, Tax Partner and National Leader - People Advisory Services, EY India says, "The government could look at introducing a coronavirus cess or surcharge on individual tax payers - possibly only on the higher income groups. The government may also look at increasing the tax on long term capital gains from equity and property, to push up revenue."

ET Intelligence Group: Tata Motors’ operating performance in the December quarter may add more conviction to the likelihood of better earnings — and a leaner balance sheet. Earnings upgrade and superior valuation of the local business after the December quarter earnings may sustain the stock’s outperformance.Tough measures by India's largest vehicle maker to contain costs and improve efficiencies have boosted the financials of the local operations and of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which contributes more than three-fourths to Tata Motors’ revenues.So, operating profit margins of JLR improved 560 basis points to 15.8 per cent in the December quarter. There are some one-off events, such as reversal of emission fines and superior product mix (higher share of Land Rover), but the trajectory of base operating margins has been consistently improving.Variable marketing and warranty expenses, which dented JLR’s margins for quite a long time, are shrinking. The Street is still apprehensive about the sustainability of decline in the VWE and warranty expenses at the current level. But if JLR can sustain the decline, operating profit margins (Ebitda) might further climb.Moderation in capex intensity has been supporting JLR’s effort to improve its cash flow and liquidity. Cash on JLR’s books improved 25 per cent on a sequential basis to 4.5 billion (Rs 45,000 crore) and net debt slipped to 2.6 billion in December 2020 compared with 3.3 billion in the previous quarter.Volumes are expected to rise 20-22 per cent in the next fiscal year and are likely to close at FY20 level following encouraging response to Defender and a couple of refresh pipelines. The market currently ascribes EV/EBITDA multiple of 2-2.3 times to JLR and superior multiples will depend upon its share in the global premium market.Back home, the domestic business is showing strong recovery and operating profit margins rose by 570 basis points to 6.8 per cent, the highest in the last seven quarters. The commercial vehicle division with a volume decline of 8 per cent has revenue growth of 21 per cent on YoY basis and passenger vehicle volume rose 86 per cent. 80618375Ebitda margins of commercial vehicles rose 580 basis points to 8 per cent and the PV business margins improved by 780 basis points to 3.8 per cent. Absolute Ebitda of the passenger division is the highest in the last decade. Even on the debt side, the local operation automotive gross debt dropped to Rs 25,413 crore in December 2020 from Rs 31,099 crore in the previous quarter.Analysts have started ascribing a valuation of Rs 20-24 per share to the domestic PV business taking the tally of the domestic business to Rs 150-160 per share, which is nearly equivalent to the value ascribed to JLR.

Scientists developed vaccines less than a year after COVID-19 was identified, a reflection of remarkable progress in vaccine technology. But progress in vaccine distribution is another story.Questions that arose in vaccine rollouts decades ago are still debated today. How should local and federal authorities coordinate? Who should get vaccinated first? What should officials do about resistance in communities? Should the hardest-hit places be prioritized? Who should pay?Some answers can be found in the successes and failures of vaccine drives over the past two centuries.In 1796, once scientist Edward Jenner discovered that people infected with cowpox became immune to smallpox, doctors went from town to town in England, deliberately spreading cowpox by scratching infected material into people’s arms.The rollout worked on a local level, but how could it be distributed to people in faraway places, like in the Americas, where smallpox had devastated populations? In 1803, the Spanish government put 22 orphans on a ship to its territories in South America. The lead doctor, Francisco Xavier de Balmis, and his team injected cowpox into two of the boys, and then, once cowpox sores developed, took material from the sores and scratched it into the arms of two more boys.By the time the team arrived in the Americas, only one boy was still infected, but that was enough. Vaccine distribution in the Spanish territories was unsystematic, but eventually members of the Spanish expedition worked with local authorities to establish vaccination clinics. More than 100,000 people in Mexico received free vaccinations by 1805, according to a journal article, “The World’s First Immunization Campaign,” in the Bulletin of the History of Medicine.By the 20th century, when scientists had determined how to store and mass produce the smallpox vaccine, outbreaks had generally been contained.But an outbreak in 1947 in New York City, just before an Easter Sunday parade on a warm weekend, posed a major problem. The city’s health commissioner at the time, Israel Weinstein, called for everyone to get vaccinated, even if they had received the vaccination as children. Posters across the city warned: “Be Sure. Be Safe. Get Vaccinated!”The rollout was swift and well-orchestrated. Volunteers and professional health care providers went to schools, delivering vaccines to students. At the time, the public had strong faith in the medical community, and the modern anti-vaccination movement barely existed. In less than a month, more than 6 million New Yorkers were vaccinated, and the city ended up recording only 12 infections and two deaths.On April 12, 1955, the U.S. government licensed the first vaccine against polio, created by Dr. Jonas Salk, after scientists announced it was found to be 80% to 90% effective. The next day, The New York Times reported in a headline: “Supply to be low for time, but output will be rushed.”State and local health officials were in charge of the rollout to children, who were most at risk.Shortly after the rollout began, the program was suspended after reports that children had contracted polio in the arms where they received the vaccination, rather than the legs, which was more typical of the disease.More than 250 cases of polio were attributed to faulty vaccines, caused by a manufacturing error by one of the drugmakers involved in the effort, Cutter Laboratories, based in California, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The so-called Cutter Incident led to stronger regulatory requirements, and the vaccine rollout continued in the fall of 1955. The vaccine prevented thousands of cases of crippling illness, saved lives and ultimately ended the yearly threat of epidemics in the United States.“The possibility was raised today that the virus that caused the greatest world epidemic of influenza in modern history - the pandemic of 1918-19 - may have returned,” The Times reported Feb. 20, 1976.An Army private in Fort Dix, New Jersey, had died from a type of swine flu that was genetically similar to the virus that caused the deadly influenza outbreak starting in 1918. President Gerald Ford acted quickly, and Congress purchased 200 million doses of vaccines to be distributed at no cost.But the campaign got off to a difficult start, after several people died soon after receiving shots at the same clinic in Pittsburgh. Two months later, reports emerged that some vaccine recipients developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. Vaccinations were halted.In the end, the virus was not detected outside Fort Dix, and the Army private turned out to be the only known death from the virus.The H1N1 influenza virus, which originated in Mexico, struck in spring 2009, not in typical flu season.By late summer it was clear that the virus caused fewer deaths than many seasonal flu strains and that some of the early reports from Mexico had been exaggerated. That was one of the big reasons that a lot of Americans avoided the flu vaccine when it was ready in the fall. It wasn’t just the anti-vaccination movement, though that was a factor.The H1N1 virus was tough on children and young adults and appeared to have a disproportionately high fatality rate among pregnant women. Because of these factors, the first groups to be vaccinated, after health care workers, were people with the highest risk of complications, pregnant women and children.The last group to be eligible for the vaccine were healthy people over 65, who were the least likely to contract it because they seemed to have had some resistance to it.

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the ruling party have been detained in an early morning raid, the spokesman for the governing National League for Democracy said on Monday.The move came after days of escalating tension between the civilian government and the powerful military that stirred fears of a coup in the aftermath of an election the army says was fraudulent.Spokesman Myo Nyunt told Reuters by phone that Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders had been "taken" in the early hours of the morning. "I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law," he said, adding he also expected to be detained. Phone lines to Naypyitaw, the capital, were not reachable in the early hours of Monday.A military spokesman did not answer phone calls seeking comment. An NLD lawmaker, who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation, said another of those detained was Han Thar Myint, a member of the party's central executive committee.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the country was very pained at seeing the dishonour to the Tricolour on Republic Day, referring to the religious flag incident at the Red Fort during the farmers' tractor parade. In his monthly Mann ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi also said the government is committed to modernising agriculture and is taking many steps in this regard."In Delhi, on January 26, the country was very pained seeing the dishonour to the Tricolour," he said.Thousands of protesting farmers had breached the monument on January 26 after deviating from their tractor rally route triggering a conflict with the police. A section of protesting farmers hoisted flags from some domes of the iconic monument in the national capital.In his broadcast, the prime minister also said that India has not only rolled out the world's largest vaccination drive but is also vaccinating its citizens at the fastest rate.The country has vaccinated over 30 lakh corona warriors in 15 days, he said, adding the US and the UK took 18 and 36 days to reach this figure.He said the government is committed to modernising agriculture and is taking many steps in this regard. Modi added that the government's efforts in this direction will continue.The prime minister's remarks come amid ongoing protests by thousands of farmers, mostly from Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, at several border points into Delhi since November-end, demanding a repeal of the three new agri laws and a legal guarantee to the minimum support system for their crops.Modi also touched upon the Padma awards announced last week, and said the country has continued the recent tradition of honouring unsung heroes.The prime minister also hailed the Indian cricket team's performance in its historic series win in Australia, saying the team's hard work and teamwork was inspirational.
