Rupani said under the forest department’s social forestry programme — aimed at increasing tree-cover outside forest areas — the state government has targeted to have 50 crore trees. “In the past, there were only 25 crore trees (in 2003), that were part of forest department’s social forestry programme.

]]>He said that of the 749 Covid deaths in Meghalaya – the state with second highest mortality rate of 1.68 per cent in the region after Nagaland (1.97 per cent) – at least 691 people were not vaccinated.
The Chief Minister’s statement comes as vaccination hesitancy is affecting the state’s inoculation coverage.
The Ministry of Health and Family welfare had on Wednesday said Meghalaya has inoculated only 74 percent of its healthcare workers with the first dose and only 48 percent people in the category have received their second dose. The state has also performed poorly in terms of vaccinating its frontline workers, those above 45 and those above 18.
So far, nearly eight lakh people have been vaccinated in Meghalaya, including both the first and the second dose.
There have been instances of vaccine hesitancy in several parts of Meghalaya where people aren’t getting vaccinated fearing side effects. Several attempts of the government to spread awareness among people had no major effect so far.
Chief Minister Sangma lamented that there are some elected representatives who have been openly criticizing the vaccination drive.

Many lawyers, judges, court staff and their family corona have been infected. There is also no government hospital around Dwarka sub-city and the population here is more than 12 lakhs.
Bar Association president YP Singh suggested that the recently built Indira Gandhi Government Hospital has 17 thousand beds. It should be opened to the public and beds should be reserved for the court staff.
YP Singh further said that at least 500 beds should be reserved for lawyers. Apart from this, 50 beds should be reserved for the judges and their families and 100 beds for the court staff.
Let us know that apart from the CM of Delhi, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has also been sent.
It is further written in the letter that the CM of Delhi should consider the Bar Association’s demand to reserve beds as the situation in Corona’s Second Wave is becoming increasingly worse. In Delhi alone, more than 20 thousand cases of corona are coming up every day.
Significantly, the Kejriwal government had last week converted 100 rooms of Delhi’s Ashoka Hotel into a covid Health facility and reserved all these rooms for the judges, judicial officers and their families of Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court reprimanded the Kejriwal government on this. The High Court had said that they had never made any such demand from the Delhi government.
