Lean hour discounts, fine for flouting rules: Centre's SOP for markets

Imposing fines for not wearing masks or not following physical distancing, opening markets on alternate days and closing them if a large number of coronavirus cases are reported, are some of the measures recommended by the Centre to ensure compliance to COVID-appropriate behaviour in markets.
The SOPs outlined that market places in containment zones shall remain closed. The guidelines also recommend the promotion of online booking of groceries and doorstep deliveries while incentives or discounts for those who shop during non-peak hours as a consideration.&nbsp;

With its creamy texture and delectable taste, paneer&nbsp;has been a staple in our kitchens for many years. But you may have noticed that people who are on a diet often prefer to switch to tofu as it tends to be lower in fat. So should you, too, make the switch from paneer&nbsp;to tofu?&nbsp;
Well, the answer depends on who's asking the question. While paneer&nbsp;is made from milk protein, tofu is created by coagulating and curdling soybean milk.&nbsp;
Tofu, which is also known as soy paneer&nbsp;is the ideal alternative for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan as it contains no animal products.&nbsp;
Tofu is also great for people who are trying to lose weight as it has fewer calories, while still being rich in protein and offers more iron than paneer. Tofu also has no cholesterol but is higher in carbohydrate content compared to paneer.&nbsp;
While tofu is big on iron, paneer&nbsp;is a great source of calcium and actually has more protein than the same amount&nbsp;of tofu. This means that paneer&nbsp;may be great for people who do heavy exercise as it can help build muscle and prevent wear and tear.
By now, you must have realised that both tofu and paneer&nbsp;are extremely healthy. Making the switch from one to the other really depends on your dietary restrictions and in case you have no restrictions, it will be best to add a little bit of both to your diet.&nbsp;
Paneer&nbsp;works great in&nbsp;desi&nbsp;and mughlai&nbsp;cuisine, you can use tofu&nbsp;in Chinese stir-fried dishes or have it grilled with your salad!&nbsp;

NASA's&nbsp;Center for Near Earth Object Studies&nbsp;listed four to six asteroids expected to&nbsp;pass the Earth on Joe Biden&nbsp;and Kamala&nbsp;Harris' Inauguration Day on Wednesday.

A new study&nbsp;suggests fried-food consumption is linked to a heightened risk of major heart disease and stroke.&nbsp;
The results published online in the journal Heart say the risk rises with each additional 114 g weekly serving. The&nbsp;analysis showed that compared with the lowest category of weekly fried food consumption, the highest was associated with a 28% higher risk of major cardiovascular events and a 37% increased risk of heart failure.&nbsp;
Much of the data studied only one type of fried food, such as fried fish, potatoes, or snacks, rather than total fried food intake, which may have underestimated the associations found, say researchers.
