India logged 33,376 new Covid-19 cases and 308 fatalities in the last 24 hours, which increased the overall infection tally and death toll to 3,32,08,330 and 4,42,317, respectively, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare’s (MoHFW) latest data revealed on Saturday.

According to the data, currently there are 3,91,516 active cases which constitutes 1.8 per cent of the total infections, while the national recovery rate stands at 97.49 per cent with 3,23,74,497 people having recuperated from the disease till Saturday.

With 25,010 people testing positive for the virus and 177 deaths, Kerala remains the worst-affected state, followed by Maharashtra which recorded 4,154 new cases and 44 fatalities.

Meanwhile, 54,01,96,989 samples have been tested up to Friday with 15,92,135 samples being tested in the last 24 hours, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) tweeted.

On the vaccination front, nearly 73 crore vaccines have been administered across the country, the Ministry said on Friday.

Around 58 per cent of the country’s adult population has received the first dose while close to 18 per cent have been fully inoculated.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting to review the Covid-19 situation and progress of the vaccination drive in the country.

“In a few geographies, districts with high test positivity as well as the week-on-week test positivity rate in the country”, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement.

“It was discussed that across the world there are countries where the number of active Covid cases continues to remain high. In India too, the figures from states like Maharahstra and Kerala indicate that there can be no room for complacency,” the statement added.

The Prime Minister also underscored the need to pace up the entire process to ensure increased oxygen availability, including oxygen concentrators, cylinders and PSA plants.

Meanwhile, experts are worried that festive season can play a huge role in increasing infection cases and thereby cautioning masses against mass gathering, urging them to continue following Covid-19 guidelines.

Bihar election results restore people’s confidence in NDA: MP Shrikant Shinde

Published

Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader and MP Shrikant Shinde expressed happiness over the NDA’s victory in the Bihar elections and said that the historic victory in the Bihar elections is a testament to the unwavering faith of the people under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The people of Bihar have completely rejected the forces that foster corruption, anarchy and jungle raj. The people have chosen Mangal Raj, not jungle raj. The Congress and its allies, which relied on the politics of caste and appeasement, have been completely defeated. The Congress’s fall to single digits exposes the bitter truth that Rahul Gandhi’s politics has no impact in a large and conscious state. His caste, communal card and whatever narrative he has created have all failed miserably. The poor, the backward, women, youth, farmers and workers of Bihar have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the NDA. This public trust is a decisive affirmation of Nitish Kumar’s clean image, good governance and people-oriented politics. No matter how many attacks the opposition makes, the people have chosen the path of stability, security and development.


The wave of massive government formation in Bihar proves that India wants change, but the change must be from anarchy to stability, from corruption to accountability, from jungle raj to good governance. And this change can only be delivered by the NDA.

It is unfortunate that the Leader of the Opposition tried to derail the election on an issue like SIR and tried to damage the reputation of a prestigious institution like the Election Commission. The people of Bihar have completely rejected this irresponsible politics. They have chosen democracy, not chaos.
Bihar has given a clear, unambiguous and historic message that NDA is the future. Congress and its allies deserve to lead, govern or have the trust of the people.

I congratulate the people and voters of Bihar. I wish the new NDA government in Bihar all the best for its future work and journey.
