Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has written a letter to the Centre, urging the govt to consider the<a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank"> Covid-19 pandemic</a> as natural calamity, so that the government can use the state disaster response fund (SDRF) to provide financial assistance to the affected people.
All State Disaster Management Acts have been formed as part of the central disaster management law; hence the state needs the Union government&rsquo;s permission to use the SDRF for helping the pandemic-hit people.
As of now, flood, lightning incidents, heavy rainfall where there is loss of property or livelihood fall under the category of natural calamity, and monetary compensation is provided to the affected people.

With the country recording over 2 lakh cases in the last 24 hours,&nbsp;Delhi&nbsp;and Mumbai have converted hotels and banquet halls into Covid units to treat less critical patients.
In Mumbai, hospitals have decided to use luxury hotels to treat Covid-19 patients with milder infection. Private hospitals will tie up with four star or five star hotels to accommodate more patients. However, doctors will have to approve such transfers.
These hotel will act as extensions of major private hospitals, according to the BMC&nbsp;and&nbsp;will need a minimum of 20 rooms for Covid cases. They will have round-the-clock medical services including doctor consultations, nurses, medicines and ambulance transfer. The hospitals can charge up to ₹4,000 for these facilities and ₹6,000 for a room if anyone is staying with the patient.
In Delhi, the state government also issued orders to attach hotels and banquet halls with private and government hospitals, to add more beds for Covid patients. So far,&nbsp;five Delhi government hospitals have been attached with banquet halls.&nbsp;

The Delhi High Court has dismissed the bail plea of the riot accused who pointed a gun at a cop and also fired in the air&nbsp;during the communal violence in the city last year saying the video clips have shaken the court&rsquo;s conscience.&nbsp;
Justice Suresh Kumar Kait said whether or not accused Shahrukh Pathan had the intention to kill the complainant police official or any person present in the public with his open air pistol shots, it is hard to believe that he had no knowledge that his act may harm anyone present at the spot.
Pathan, 24, whose photo showing him pointing a pistol at unarmed Delhi Police head constable Deepak Dahiya during the communal riots in February last year went viral on social media, was arrested on March 3, 2020 from Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district.

"You said that many people are dying every day. As far as deaths are concerned, with age people get old and they die," the minister said.

Strains of the Covid virus in India with "double mutations" have been found in patients in 10 states, NDTV has reported quoting sources in health ministry. Covid doubler mutation could be responsible for rising infections and a faster spread in these states, the report added.

Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh are among the states where double mutant strains were found, the report said, adding that these mutants are playing a role in the rapid rise in Covid-19 cases.
The report further stated that Delhi has a mix of the UK strain of the virus as well strains with double mutations.
However, it cannot be said that double mutants are 100 per cent responsible for the rise in cases.
