Alarming inequality, insufficient health care and border tensions are great and the economic situation must be fully taken into account As the country prepares for a new fiscal year after a threatening and dismal 2020-21, there are great expectations for green shoots and the shape of economic recovery. The mess caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic People’s lives and livelihoods are deep and enormous. The Effects of COVID-19 Induced Lockdown cannot be understood simply by looking at the major macroeconomic gross domestic product (GDP) figures, stock market indices, industrial activity indices, or any such metric. COVID-19 has destroyed lives and incomes; it has also destroyed our social fabric. It has exacerbated inequality between owners and non-owners that can turn into a permanent scar if not urgently repaired. In this context, we need to assess the current state of the economy and evaluate further measures for the immediate future. Missed Opportunities The sudden onslaugh...

Four fishermen from Ramanathapuram district are the latest casualties in the decades-old Palk Bay fisheries conflict between India and Sri Lanka. L. Srikrishna, C. Jaisankar, R. Rajaram and Meera Srinivasan report on the human cost of the issue touching on bilateral ties, livelihoods, and ecological concerns Samson Darwin was a toddler when his family fled their home in Jaffna in the 1990s, to escape the civil war that was tearing apart Sri Lanka’s north and east. Mandapam camp in Ramanathapuram became their “home”. Away from incessant bombing and destruction, they thought they had another chance at life. Last week, 28-year-old Darwin’s body was brought back home after he and three other fishermen died in the Palk Strait, in Sri Lankan waters. Darwin’s wife (they got married just a year ago) had given birth to their first child weeks before that, and just as their new life as a family was about to begin, his life ended. Darwin fled the civil war nearly 25 years ago but the adversit...

Former finance minister P. Chidambaram on Friday criticized the government’s economic survey for presenting agricultural and labor laws as part of structural reforms. “According to the survey, the three most important ‘structural reforms’ were (1) laws against farmers, (2) the new MSME definition and (3) the four labor laws,” tweeted the opposition congress chairman. “The farmers have rejected the three farm laws. The MSMEs have said they got no relief at all. The unions have rejected the four labor laws! What reform is, people have rejected. It is the new definition of “reform” and “democracy”, “he wrote on his Twitter feed. The former finance minister criticized the language used in this year’s document, saying earlier it was about communicating the economic outlook in plain language, but now the purpose has changed. “The most common word used in the business survey is regression. The current government has taught us the meaning of “recession”. When you know the meanings of ‘rec...

SC East Bengal missed a number of scoring opportunities before beating a 10-man Goa 1-1 in an ISL match at Fatorda Stadium on Friday. Igor Angulo gave Goa the lead towards the end of the first half before Daniel Fox equalized for East Bengal in the second half to help them take a point. East Bengal had a chance to change the goal line in the first minute when they received a penalty. East Bengal left defender Narayan Das was overthrown by Goa defender Mohamed Ali and asked the referee to point the point. However, Anthony Pilkington gave fans in East Bengal a heartache when he sent his attempt far. The Gaurs quickly regrouped and nearly made the break in the fifth minute when Angulo cleared the ball in the East Bengal half but failed to defeat goalkeeper Debjit Majumder. Goa defenders found silky East Bengal striker Bright Enobakhare was a little too hot with the ball when the Nigerian passed his challengers in the 27th minute to release Pilkington in front of goal. But the Irish mi...

The Pfizer / BioNTech coronavirus sting is unrelated to reported post-vaccination deaths and no new side effects, the EU Medicines Agency said on Friday, based on initial data from the vaccine’s launch. The update from the Amsterdam-based European Medicines Agency followed reports that dozen of mostly elderly people in Norway and other European countries had died after receiving an initial shot of the vaccine. The EMA said it looked into the deaths and “found that the data are unrelated to vaccination with Comirnaty (the name of the vaccine) and the cases do not raise any safety concerns.” In its first security update since the EU’s vaccination campaign began in December, the watchdog said the data overall “is consistent with the known safety profile of the vaccine and no new side effects have been identified”. “Comirnaty’s benefits in preventing COVID-19 continue to outweigh any risks, and there are no recommended changes to how the vaccine is used,” the EMA said. The EU watchdo...
