India sent 15 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Nigeria on Thursday to assist the west African country in dealing with the impact of devastating floods that left hundreds of people dead.In addition to this, India also announced another 60 tonnes of assistance to the African nation.

Taking to X, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, “Committed to Humanitarian Assistance. India dispatched 15 tonnes of aid to Nigeria to provide support to those affected by the devastating floods in the country. A further assistance of 60 tonnes of aid will be sent in due course.”

“The aid comprises food, sleeping mats, blankets, water purification supplies and other relief items,” the MEA post added.

At least 321 people have been killed and over 740,000 others displaced in Nigeria so far this year due to the floods that ravaged most parts of the country.

In addition, some 2,854 people have been injured in the flooding, caused mainly by prolonged rainfall across the most populous African country, said Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of the southeastern state of Anambra, after a monthly National Economic Council meeting presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

“The country is facing a national emergency concerning flooding and the reports so far identify a major national disaster,” as the rains have led to widespread displacement, loss of lives, and destruction of homes and livelihoods, Soludo had said, citing briefings at the Economic Council meeting.

The senior official had also mentioned that 34 out of Nigeria’s 36 states have experienced flooding, and 217 out of the 774 local government areas in the country have been affected. The ravaging flood has displaced at least 740,743 people and destroyed or affected 281,000 houses and 258,000 cultivated farmlands.

Additionally, the UN agencies appealed for lifesaving support in Nigeria, where record inflation, climate shocks, and ongoing conflicts are projected to push the number of food-insecure people to 33 million in 2025.

Canada confirms first domestically acquired human case of H5N1 bird flu

0

Ottawa, Nov 14 (IANS) The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) confirmed the first domestically acquired human case of H5N1 avian influenza in Canada.

A teenager in British Columbia was hospitalised and tested presumptive positive for H5 avian influenza on November 9, and was later confirmed to have been infected with the H5N1 virus on Wednesday, PHAC said in a statement.

The genomic sequencing result indicated that the virus is related to the avian influenza H5N1 virus from the ongoing outbreak in poultry in British Columbia, said PHAC, adding that no other human infections have been detected so far, and investigation is underway to determine how the individual got infected.

While there is an ongoing H5N1 outbreak in dairy cattle in the United States, no cases of avian influenza have been reported in dairy cattle in Canada, and there has been no evidence of bird flu virus in milk samples, reports Xinhua news agency.

Furthermore, the clade of H5N1 virus detected in dairy cattle in the United States differed from that found in the human case reported in British Columbia, PHAC said.

Based on current evidence, the risk of avian influenza infection for the public remains low. The risk of bird flu infection is higher for those who have unprotected exposure to infected animals, PHAC said.

Kanguva OTT Partner Locked, But….

0

Suriya’s big budgeted action epic Kanguva opened in theaters today and it naturally drew a fair bit of anticipation in Tamil and Telugu alike. This is mostly due to the aggressive promotional campaign taken up by Suriya who extensively toured ahead of the release and promoted the film big time.

Coming to the OTT side of things, we are hearing an interesting report on Kanguva now and this has something to do with the OTT partner of the film.

Kanguva has apparently sealed Amazon Prime Video as its OTT streaming partner and it will be made available for streaming here in multiple languages.

But for those wondering when the film would stream on Amazon, just so that they can wait it out, there is some bad new.

Apparently, there is a lengthy theatrical window clause that is in place for the film, meaning that it won’t be streaming on Amazon Prime Video anytime soon. There will be a fair bit of delay in the OTT release of the film and it is likely to stream only from mid-January.

So, whoever is interested in the film is prompted to watch it in theaters only and not to wait out for the OTT debut which is still a fair way away.

A 26-year-old was found hanging from a tree under mysterious circumstances in Bihar’s Vaishali district on Thursday.

The incident occurred at Chakdadanpur village, under the jurisdiction of Mahua police station. The deceased, identified as Vinay Kumar, also known as Bhajan, is a local resident of the village.

According to Mahua SHO Rakesh Kumar, the police have begun an investigation, examining all possible angles, but have not yet determined the cause of the incident.

“The incident was discovered early on Thursday morning by a villager, who immediately notified the police. During their investigation at the scene, we have recovered items including a water bottle, a packet of chips, a disposable glass, and cigarette butts,” Kumar said.

“We cannot reach a conclusion at this point as the postmortem report has not come yet,” he said.

Notably, the victim, Vinay Kumar, was married just two years ago, adding to the family’s concerns.

Family members of the victim suspect foul play and have voiced concerns over the circumstances surrounding the incident. Police are continuing their inquiry, seeking to clarify the sequence of events and gather more evidence.

A family member of Vinay Kumar suggested that Vinay may have been having a gathering in the garden at the time of the incident.

The presence of used disposable glasses, a packet of chips, cigarettes, and other items at the scene indicates that Vinay may have been accompanied by others.

The family has urged the district police to conduct a thorough investigation and apprehend any individuals involved. Police officials are actively investigating the incident, gathering evidence to clarify whether others were present and involved in the events that led to Vinay’s death.

Earlier, a woman constable deployed at Musrigharari police station was found hanging in a bathroom in Bihar’s Samastipur police station on Tuesday. She was also a native of Vaishali district.

Imran Masood accuses BJP of divisive rhetoric ahead of Maha polls

Congress MP Imran Masood on Thursday accused the BJP of spreading divisive rhetoric ahead of the Maharashtra elections and remarked that all the hate slogans come from the BJP.

“We haven’t used any hate speech, we talk about love and progress. We don’t believe in dividing or creating rifts, instead, we focus on development. There hasn’t been a single provocative statement from our side. BJP resorts to these tactics when they have nothing else to offer,” said the Congress leader.

Earlier on Monday, the Congress accused the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra of deliberately infusing “hate and poison” into its poll campaign and attempting to “disturb communal harmony in the state.”

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that the campaign revealed the “sick mindset” of the BJP.

“The Mahayuti, led by the BJP, has only one agenda in its campaign. It is simply and only to polarize society on the basis of religion and to disturb communal harmony in the state. Such an awful campaign reveals its sick mindset,” Jairam Ramesh wrote in a post on X.

Commenting on Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s remarks that West Bengal is gradually becoming like Bangladesh, Imran Masood stated, “This is all they can talk about. After running the government for the last decade, they should focus on issues like inflation, unemployment, and farmers’ welfare. Instead, they try to distract from these pressing issues.”

“May God grant them the wisdom to address real challenges rather than inciting division,” he added.

Earlier in the day Union Minister Giriraj Singh had attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He said, “West Bengal has become the capital of violence. The West Bengal government keeps the law in its pocket. The state government works for a particular community, the Muslims.”
