All the newly elected 77 BJP MLAs in West Bengal are being provided a cover of central security forces in view of potential threats to them, PTI has reported quoting govt sources. The report said that the MLAs will be secured by armed commandos of the CISF and the CRPF.
The Home Ministry has reportedly approved the cover after a report prepared by central security agencies and the inputs of a high-level team of officers that was sent to the state in the wake of post-poll violence against the workers of the BJP.
Sixty-one MLAs will be covered under the lowest ''X'' category and the commandos will be drawn from the CISF. The rest are either enjoying the central security cover or will be covered under the next higher category of ''Y''. Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari is already a ''Z'' category protectee of the CRPF.

At least 11 <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid-19</a> patients died due to a snag in oxygen supply inside the ICU in Ruia Hospital in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati late on Monday night.
Officials said there was a five-minute lag in reloading the oxygen cylinder that caused the pressure to drop, resulting in the deaths.
Chittoor district Collector M Hari Narayanan said there was no scarcity of oxygen in the hospital and adequate supply was in place. In all, about 700 Covid-19 patients were undergoing treatment in the ICU and oxygen beds in Ruia while another 300 were in normal wards.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed grief over the incident and directed the officials to ensure that such incidents did not recur.

Starting Tuesday, Noida residents can get new oxygen cylinders for <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid-19</a> patients in home isolation with a refundable security deposit of Rs 2,500, officials said. The cylinders will have to be returned within 7 days and refilling charges will be ₹300.
The initiative is part of an ongoing effort of Noida Authority with support from the Adani Group, which has provided it with 100 five-litre capacity oxygen cylinders, they said.
The authority had recently started the facility for refilling oxygen in empty cylinders for patients in isolation centres through RWAs and Apartment Owners Associations amid a surge in demand due to the pandemic.
While the move brought relief to many people, trouble continued for several who found it difficult to arrange empty oxygen cylinders that were required to avail the facility.

As the country struggles to tackle the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, a video of a wedding in Chhattisgarh is going viral. The clip, which shows 100-150 people dancing, was shared by BJP leader Lata Usendi on May 7. 
Forget social distancing, people were seen dancing in small groups with hands on each other&rsquo;s waist. Masks were nowhere to be seen. All Covid-19 protocols seemed to be thrown out of the window for this wedding.
While sharing the video, Usendi claimed the video was of May 5 wedding of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee president Mohan Markam&rsquo;s nephew. She added that the MLA was also present there.
However, MLA Mohan Markam now says, it's not right to call everyone his nephew. "Lata Usendi alleges that I got my nephew married off like that. She can look at my lineage. Everyone is connected to everyone in villages. It's not right to call everyone my nephew. If COVID-19 norms are violated, the administration takes action," said the Kondagaon MLA.
