A thread about Zoijila pass:

1) It is a very critical pass in India which connects Kashmir valley to Ladakh. The road is very narrow & extremely steep.

See how our driver was backing car when we had to make way for trucks coming in the opposite direction. Yes, it is dangerous!
2) #Zoijila pass height varies from 10,000 feet to 12,000 feet. Zig zag Himalayan roads and heavy snow area. We saw snow fall even in peak summer there. There are a couple of fun slide mountains too.

For six months this vital road for Indian military, gets closed due to snow. ImageImageImageImage
3) Now @narendramodi govt is building vital infra at #Zojila area.
Section 1: 18.5 km road.
Section 2: 14.15 km Zoijila tunnel in a horseshoe shape.
Total ~33 km vital road between Z-Morh and Zoijila tunnel.

Cost: ₹4,509,50,00,000
Will be Asia's longest bidirectional tunnel!!
4) #Zoijila tunnel project going to Hyderabad based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures. Lowest bidder.

Once this Asia's longest bidirectional tunnel is built at 700 meters below the Himalayas, Indian army would have all season access from Pakistan LoC to China LAC. Critical!

I was reading an article on #OPS & #NPS.

Points:
1) In 1990-91, Central government's pension bill was ₹3,272 crores.
The total of all state governments' pension bill was ₹3,131 cr.

By 2020-21, center's bill became ₹1,90,886 cr (58 times).
States: ₹3,86,001 cr (125 times)!!
2) Some states are already overburdened with pension obligations.

Himachal Pradesh needs 79.93% of its state revenue just for paying pension.
Bihar 58.9%.
Punjab 34.24%
Rajasthan 30.38%
Chhattisgarh 24.1%.

With the old scheme, their finances would be crippled.

#OPS
#NPS
3) Right now, the central government has 34,70,000 direct workers and 48,00,000 Pension holders.

For 2022-23 the central government is spending ₹2,68,000 crores for salaries and ₹2,07,000 cr for pension.

In five years pension payments might overtake salaries!

Long ago, a young man from Gujarat went to WB to get Sanyasa.

The monk looked into his eyes, said - "Not now. This nation needs your service in a different way".

Today, that man @narendramodi has written a front page article in Hosa Digantha Kannada paper on #VaccineCentury !!
...

On #VaccineCentury
moment, we should remember that great Ramakrishna Math Sanyasi who foresaw the need of Modi for India decades ago!! No one could have steered India out of COVID trouble as Modi has done so far..

Read further...
...
Even if you take 2 minutes per vaccine delivery, India has spent 41,00,000 man days or 11,000 man years till now just in injecting. Add the Crores of man days of research, preparation, transportation, mobilization, PR to remove hesitancy and followup on COWIN digital world...

Some interesting numbers from @myogiadityanath's front page ad today.

1) UP has built/building 5 international airports in the past 4.5 years. 2 intl airports in 70 yrs before that!

Since 2017, 15,246 km of new roads constructed. 14,471 km widened & 925 fly overs/bridges built.

1) India's critical medical infra improvement in the past 1 year under @narendramodi era.

For COVID19 treatment:

India had a total of 62,458 oxygen supported beds on April 21, 2020.
India had a total of 2,55,168 oxygen supported beds on April 9, 2021.

A 309% increase in 1 yr!
2) India had 27,360 ICU beds on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 75,867 ICU beds on Apr 9, 2021.
A 177% increase in 1 year.

India had 13,158 ventilators on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 23,618 ventilators on Jan 28, 2021.
A 80% increase in 1 year.

There are more, but for non COVID patients.
3) I know the above increases are still not enough, seeing of COVID 2nd wave deaths, but at least see how improvements. Note, just increasing the devices is not enough. We also need Doctors, Nurses and lab technicians ramped up at a much higher scale. That's the real challenge!

1) Most of us never observed our breathing techniques till we got to see how Corona Virus targets human breathing.

Oxygen, ICU, Ventilator, Remdesivir and everything else point to only 1 thing eventually.. the COVID patient is unable to breath properly as the lungs are affected.
2) What can you do to at least be in a better physical and mental position if the virus hits you in the future?

Develop better breathing techniques that make lungs stronger, and also make you more healthier mentally and physically. You might have a better chance to fight back.
3) One prominent Yogic breathing technique is #Pranayama. It is a collection of breathing routines from ancient India. Then there are very well constructed techniques like the Sudarshan Kriya of @ArtofLiving.

You learn to make your lungs more efficient to oxygenate the body well
