Gurgaon relaxes guidelines for RWAs: Entry of visitors, outdoor walks allowed

Written by Sakshi Dayal
| Gurgaon |

Published: May 22, 2020 3:10:41 am

“It is strongly advised that their thermal screening be done at the gate and PPEs, like masks and gloves, be provided to them by the RWA. Furthermore, it is preferable that full-time maids be employed, with one maid-one house system in place to avoid unnecessary movement of persons,” state the guidelines.

Entry to visitors and “all personnel”, including domestic helps; relaxations in walks for residents and pets — these are some of the major changes made in the fresh guidelines for RWAs issued by the Gurgaon district administration for Lockdown 4.0 on Thursday. Use of Aarogya Setu app, meanwhile, continues to be mandatory.

According to the old guidelines, while entry of “non-essential visitors”, including “family/non-family visitors/trainers/urbanclap, etc” had been advised to be “limited” , the fresh guidelines allow “entry to the complex for all visitors (family/non-family/visitors/trainers, etc.)” other than in containment zones. The guidelines, however, say “they are subject to social distancing protocols”.

The relaxation on entry of outsiders is also reflected in the guidelines given regarding perimeter control. While the earlier guidelines had stated that “strict measures” were to be put in place “to ensure controlled movement of population in and out of the colony”, the new guidelines state only that “adequate security” must be deployed “to check for vehicle/people/labour movement with thermal screening and checking of asymptomatic persons”.

Regarding staff, “entry of all personnel, including domestic help, is permitted” to the “discretion of the residents”.

“However, it is strongly advised that their thermal screening be done at the gate and PPEs, like masks and gloves, be provided to them by the RWA. Furthermore, it is preferable that full-time maids be employed, with one maid-one house system in place to avoid unnecessary movement of persons,” state the guidelines.

Deliveries from e-commerce websites continue to be permitted only at building lobbies.

A day after cyclone Amphan wreaked havoc, residents of Kolkata woke up to scenes of the destruction Thursday. Over 5,000 trees, hundreds of lamp posts and traffic signals were uprooted. Due to heavy rain, several areas were inundated and there was no power supply in some areas.

At the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International airport, two hangars and a small private aircraft have been damaged. A portion of the airport was inundated.

“Two unused dilapidated hangars collapsed. The airport became operational from noon. We will be operating cargo, evacuation and emergency flights. People engaged in maintenance work are working round the clock to repair the damage,” a senior airport official told The Indian Express.

According to Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), over 5,000 trees were uprooted across the city and hundreds of lamp posts damaged. The uprooted trees blocked several arterial roads.

“Over 5,000 trees were uprooted and several houses have collapsed. The city has never witnessed a bigger disaster,” said Firhad Hakim, state Urban Development Minister and chairman of the KMC board of administrators.

With electricity poles uprooted, several areas of the city suffered disruptions in power supply. Telephone lines were snapped, broadband services hit and the mobile phone network too faced disruptions.

Meanwhile, operations have resumed at both docks of Kolkata Port. A statement by Kolkata Port Trust said, “Operations resumed at Kolkata Dock System at 10 am, one ship departure took place at 12.30. Cargo handling operations also on, but due to tree falling at various places across city, not many trucks are coming in…”

A diplomatic opening | The Indian Express

By: Editorial |

Published: May 22, 2020 1:28:26 am

There are concerns about how much the vaccine will cost, and whether pharma companies will put humanitarian concerns before profits.

The unanimous resolution approved by the World Health Assembly on Tuesday night, calling for an inquiry into the origin and spread of the coronavirus and the international community’s response to it, masks a more complex diplomatic story. That the US and China have agreed to the resolution after prolonged acrimony in recent weeks over the origin of coronavirus, is indeed a surprise. The US wanted members of the World Health Organisation to pin the blame on Beijing for keeping the world in the dark about the nature of the virus that broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the turn of the year, letting it spread to other countries, and manipulating the WHO leadership into inaction. China, which vehemently denied these charges and proffered accusations of its own against the US, rejected the talk of any inquiry.

The real source of the consensus on the resolution is the enormous damage inflicted by the virus. It has already infected nearly 5 million people and killed nearly 3,50,000 around the world. To make matters worse, it has ground the global economy to a sudden halt and heaped unprecedented misery on the world’s population. No wonder most nations want to know where the virus came from, how it spread across the world, and the role that the WHO, as the world’s pandemic watchdog, played. As opinion among member-states converged in favour of an inquiry, China signalled a measure of flexibility. The US knew that insisting on a more stringent language would have meant no resolution at all.

The credit for generating the consensus must go to the EU and Australia that piloted the move at the WHO and other middle powers like India which extended early and strong diplomatic support. The middle powers have a bigger responsibility in the days ahead as the next round of contestation begins on the terms and conditions of the inquiry. Although the resolution has strong enough claws, there is bound to be an unending diplomatic squabble on its interpretation and implementation. India, which will take charge of the rotating chair of the WHO’s Executive Board for a year, will have its hands full in guiding the organisation through its most difficult moments. Besides ensuring a productive inquiry into the corona pandemic, Delhi needs to develop a practical agenda for reform and revitalisation of the WHO amidst President Donald Trump’s threats to permanently cut off funding and walk out of the forum. This week’s consensus at the WHO shows it is possible to construct a middle path in the deepening confrontation between China and America and that the middle powers can exercise global leadership.
