Background

Breaking News LIVE, September 1, 2021:  After setting the one crore-plus record in vaccinations last week, India has set a new record again, notching up over 1.28 crore jabs till 10pm on Tuesday. The country earlier saw nearly 1,08,99,699 crore doses administered on August 27, which was the highest daily jabs figure so far, as per the CoWIN platform.

But on Tuesday, the figure stood at 1,28,68,299 jabs till 10pm.

Fines amounting to Rs 90 lakh have been recovered from over 20,000 people for violation of COVID-19 guidelines in the Jammu district during the second wave of the pandemic, police said. "During COVID-19 second wave, we registered 450 FIRs and arrested 500 people for violation of SOP," SSP, Jammu, Chandan Kohli said. 

The SSP said more than 20,000 people were penalised, and fines worth Rs 90 lakh were recovered from them for not wearing face masks or not following Covid-appropriate behaviour in public places. He said people should not be complacent as there is a threat of a third wave of the pandemic.

Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday appointed Dr Parasaram Pattabhi Kesava Ramacharyulu as the new secretary general of the Upper House of Parliament.

Ramacharyulu has been working as secretary in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat since 2018 and succeeds Desh Dipak Verma, who demitted office after serving for four years.

As per the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Ramacharyulu is the first ever Upper House employee to have risen to the secretary general’s post. Nine employees have become the secretary general of Lok Sabha so far.
