Bali [Indonesia], Nov 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday reiterated India’s long-standing position in favour of dialogue and diplomacy in Ukraine and said “‘We have to find a way to return to the path of the ceasefire” in Kyiv.
While addressing the G20 working session on Food and Energy Security, PM Modi said, “I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy in Ukraine.
PM Modi, who arrived in Bali on Monday, said, “Over the past century, the Second World War wreaked havoc in the world. After that, the leaders of that time made a serious effort to take the path of peace. Now it’s our turn. The onus of creating a new world order for the post-Covid period lies on our shoulders. The need of the hour is to show concrete and collective resolve to ensure peace, harmony and security in the world.”
Referring to India as the “holy land of Buddha and Gandhi” PM Modi said that he is confident that the next year when G20 meets they will all agree to convey a strong message of peace to the world.
PM Modi started his speech by congratulating Indonesia for giving effective leadership to the G-20 in a challenging global environment. He further said that Climate change, the Covid pandemic, the developments in Ukraine, and the global problems associated with it have created havoc in the world.
“Global supply chains are in ruins. There is a crisis of essentials and essential goods all over the world. The challenge for the poor citizens of every country is more severe. Everyday life was already a struggle for them. They do not have the financial capacity to deal with the double whammy. Due to the double whammy, they lack the financial capacity to handle it. We should also not hesitate to acknowledge that multilateral institutions such as the UN have been unsuccessful on these issues. And we have all failed to make suitable reforms to them. Therefore, today the world has greater expectations from the G-20, and the relevance of our group has become more significant,” PM Modi added.
Talking about the problems during the pandemic situation, PM said that India had ensured the food security of its 1.3 billion citizens. At the same time, food grains were also supplied to many countries in need. The current shortage of fertilizers in terms of food security is also a huge crisis.
He further said that the fertilizer shortage “is tomorrow’s food crisis,” and the world will not have a solution.
PM Modi said that all the G20 countries have to build mutual agreement to maintain the supply chain of both manure and food grains stable and assured.
“In India, for sustainable food security, we are promoting natural farming and re-popularising nutritious and traditional foodgrains like millets. Millets can also solve global malnutrition and hunger. We all must celebrate the International Year of Millets with great enthusiasm next year,” he added.
Calling India’s energy security “important” for global growth, PM Modi said that it is the world’s fastest-growing economy. He further stated that one should not promote the restrictions on the supply of energy and stability in the energy market should be ensured.
“India is committed to clean energy and environment. By 2030, half of our electricity will be generated from renewable sources. Time-bound and affordable finance and sustainable supply of technology to developing countries is essential for inclusive energy transition,” PM said.
“During India’s G-20 Presidency, we will work for global consensus on all these issues,” he added. (Agencies)

In wake of a spurt in dengue cases, the Secondary School Education Department has issued an advisory to all schools, asking them to ensure that children wear full sleeves shirts and full pants to cover hands and legs properly in a bid to prevent mosquito bite.

As per the notification issued on Saturday, the administration and schools’ management team have been instructed to follow the advisory issued by the department. The department has also instructed to avoid keeping clutter within the premises of the schools.

Notably, recently many cases of Dengue have been reported from across the state.

Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh has reported a rise in dengue cases with six adults and seven children admitted to dengue wards in a government hospital on Sunday.

“A total of 60-70 cases of fever are reported daily. Those found Dengue positive are kept in the Dengue ward. At present, there’re six adults and seven children in Dengue wards,” Dr. Shailesh Kumar Singh from Ursula government hospital told ANI.

With dengue cases rising, the Uttar Pradesh government has also cancelled the leaves of all doctors and paramedical staff.

Earlier on Sunday, several parts of Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri district reported an increase in dengue cases with 9 patients currently admitted to the dengue ward in the district hospital.

The mosquito-borne disease is spreading rapidly in the Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh. The platelet count of the patients is decreasing rapidly, and hospitals are running at full capacity.

A team of health workers have been deployed. Along with medicines, essential food items are also being provided to the patients by the hospital.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a high-level review meeting with the state health department authorities on increasing dengue cases and issued directives to set up dedicated dengue hospitals in every district with the availability of doctors and health workers, facilities for investigations, and suitable arrangements for treatment.

CM Yogi during the meeting had expressed concern over the increased side effects of dengue and other infectious diseases that have increased in the past few weeks and instructed health officials to improve screening and surveillance.

He asked officials to take the help of ASHA workers and conduct door-to-door screening to identify people with symptoms and make arrangements for their treatment.

CM Yogi also directed officials to ensure the availability of beds, proper medical examination, and timely treatment for patients.

He also directed officials to make regular state-wide cleanliness and fogging efforts.

He asked them to launch a comprehensive awareness campaign to make people aware of the causes, symptoms, prevention, etc. of dengue.

Back in October, the Centre informed that it had decided to depute a high-level team to Uttar Pradesh in collaboration with the state authorities to institute dengue management measures in some districts.
