🧵
War of words broke out between the Centre and States regarding the #exciseduty cut on #petrol & #diesel
@nsitharaman said the cuts were made in cess not shared by States so loss borne by Centre
@ptrmadurai said whichever component you cut from, the State will lose some money @nsitharaman is right in saying the cut came from cess which is not sharable with States
Note:
> Non-sharable parts (last three rows) is increasing
> Sharable part (first row) is decreasing and is just Rs 1.4/ltr. So a reduction of Rs 8 not possible from just sharable part Image

However, NFHS have revealed some deep­seated contradictions that necessitate collective soul­searching" Image NFHS-5 (2019-20): 80% TN women said their husbands are justified in hitting them for reasons like refusing sex, arguing, refusing to cook etc.
Third highest in India. Generally the share is higher among southern States Image

thehindu.com/data/data-indi…

It compared India's testing data as on March 9 - the lowest in the world. It also said S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong's successes and U.S. U.K's failures were linked to the testing rate

Now that we know #Nizamuddin is a large cluster.. What next?

A look at How Singapore and South Korea handled such clusters, will help us.

1. Dont panic. No blame game. The Hindu, Muslim fight can wait.

1/n 2. Immediate action will be to find those who attended, trace, test, isolate and treat them.

Issue advertisements in all State papers/TV/radio and ask attendees to reach nearest hospital, ask the Tablighi Jamaat preachers for the phone numbers of all those attended. 2/n
