AGENCYNEW DELHI, JUNE 29

The Supreme Court on Tuesday di-rected that by July 31, 2021, allstates and Union Territories mustimplement the 'One Nation OneRation Card' scheme that allowsmigrant labourers to get rationbenefits from any part of the coun-try, irrespective of the place wheretheir ration card is registered.

'One Nation One Ration Card'is a scheme implemented by theGovernment of India providing fornation-wide portability of Nation-al Food Security Act Ration card.

A Bench of Justice AshokBhushan and Justice MR Shah said'One Nation One Ration Card' is an"important citizen-centric reform".

"Its implementation ensuresavailability of ration to beneficiar-ies under National Food SecurityAct (NFSA) and other welfare

schemes, especially to the migrantworkers and their families at anyFair Price Shop across the coun-try," the Bench said.

"We, thus, are of the view thatthose States who have not yet im-plemented One Nation One RationCard scheme should implementthe same. We direct the States whohave not implemented the One Na-tion One Ration Card scheme toimplement the scheme by not laterthan July 31, 2021," ordered thecourt.

The top court also directed theCentre and state governments toprovide dry ration and continuecommunity kitchens for migrantworkers till the pandemic contin-ues.

The top court further directedthe Centre and States to completeregistration of all migrant workersincluding those in unorganisedsectors positively by July 31,

2021.Further, the Centre was asked

to develop a portal for registrationunder National Database for Unor-ganised Workers (NDUW) in con-sultation with National Informat-ics Centre (NIC) to register unor-ganised and migrant workers andcomplete the portal and commencethe process by July 31, 2021.

When the unorganised work-ers are waiting for registration and

are waiting to reap the benefit ofvarious welfare schemes of theStates and Centre, the "apathy andlackadaisical attitude by the Min-istry of Labour and Employment isunpardonable", the apex courtsaid. The Bench said there was ur-gency in the portal to be finalisedand implemented looking to thepandemic and dire need of unor-ganised workers to receive thebenefit. "The attitude of Ministryof Labour and Employment in notcompleting the module eventhough directed as early as on Au-gust 21, 2018, shows that Ministryis not alive to the concern of themigrant workers and the non-ac-tion of the Ministry is strongly dis-approved," the order stated. "Both,in the first and the second wave ofthe pandemic, migrant workershad been exposed to financial andother forms of hardships due totheir limited access.

Arvind Kejriwal playedmaster stroke

MORINDA (SANJEEV TEJPAL): Although vari-ous political parties have made big claims for Punjabregarding power tariff and power supply in Punjab.But at present the situation in Punjab regarding pow-er supply is very pitiable. Aam Aadmi Party's Na-tional Convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's an-nouncement of providing cheap electricity and otherfacilities to the people of Punjab with the advent ofAAP government can prove to be a turning point inPunjab politics Because people are very annoyedwith the Punjab govt by the way the power cuts aretaking place in this scorching heat. There is no timefor electricity to come and go, which is not only af-fecting the business It has also blown the sleep ofPunjabis. It seems that Kejriwal has put his hand onthe sore vein of the people. People say that the gov-ernment which will bring basic facilities to the peo-ple will form the next government. Only time will tellif this plan played by Kejriwal Sahib will dominateother political parties.

"You have alreadyrecorded my statement forseveral hours on Jun 25 despite

me being an old person of about72 years of age suffering fromvarious age-related ailments. Onthe earlier date of the search, Ihave been exposed to many EDofficials without maintainingproper social distancing.

he skipped the ED summon andsought a fresh date forappearance.

House to vote on bill launchingprobe of Jan 6 insurrection

Anew committee toinvestigate the Janu-ary 6 insurrection at

the US Capitol would have13 members and the powerto subpoena witnesses, ac-cording to legislation re-leased by House SpeakerNancy Pelosi on Monday.The House is expected tovote on the bill this week.

The effort comes afterSenate Republicansblocked the formation of anindependent, bipartisancommission to probe the at-tack, in which hundreds offormer President DonaldTrump's supporters violent-ly broke into the Capitoland interrupted the certifi-cation of President JoeBiden's victory.

The new, partisanHouse panel would haveeight members appointedby Pelosi and five appoint-ed after consultation withRepublican Leader KevinMcCarthy. A Pelosi aidesaid the speaker is consid-ering including a Republi-can among her appoint-ments, which would bringthe likely partisan split to 7-6. The aide was grantedanonymity to discuss herthinking. Pelosi said in astatement that January 6was one of the darkest daysin our nation's history andthat the committee willseek the truth about it.

The Select Committeewill investigate and reportupon the facts and causes ofthe attack and report rec-ommendations for prevent-ing any future assault," she

said. Many Republicanswere concerned about sucha partisan probe, since ma-jority Democrats are likelyto investigate Trump's rolein the siege and the rightwing groups that were pres-ent for it. Almost threedozen House Republicansvoted to create an inde-pendent panel, whichwould have had an evenpartisan split among mem-bers. Seven Republicans inthe Senate supported mov-ing forward on that bill, but

that was short of the 10Senate Republicans whowould be necessary to passit. As laid out in Pelosi'slegislation, the new selectcommittee would have sub-poena power and no specif-ic end date. The panel canissue interim reports as itconducts the probe.

Trump is not explicitlyreferenced in the legisla-tion, which directs the se-lect committee to investi-gate facts, circumstancesand causes relating to the

January 6, 2021, domesticterrorist attack upon theUnited States Capitol Com-plex and relating to the in-terference with the peacefultransfer of power." Thepanel would also study in-fluencing factors that fo-mented such an attack onAmerican representativedemocracy while engagedin a constitutional process.The House passed the billto form an independentcommission last month,and Pelosi, D-Calif., said it

was her preference to havean independent panel leadthe inquiry. But she saidlast week that Congresscould not wait any longer tobegin a deeper look at theinsurrection so she wouldform the select panel. Shehas not said who will leadit. Still, Pelosi said that theselect committee could becomplementary to an inde-pendent panel, should oneever be formed, and thatshe is hopeful there couldbe a commission at some

point. Senate MajorityLeader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said he mighthold a second vote, butthere's no indication thatany GOP votes havechanged. Many Republi-cans have made clear thatthey want to move on fromthe Jan. 6 attack, brushingaside the many unansweredquestions about the insur-rection, including how thegovernment and law en-forcement missed intelli-gence leading up to the riot-ing and the role of Trumpbefore and during the insur-rection. Others in the GOPhave gone further, with onesuggesting the rioterslooked like tourists and an-other insisting that a Trumpsupporter named AshliBabbitt, who was shot andkilled while trying to breakinto the House chamber,was executed. Two officerswho battled the rioters,Metropolitan Police OfficerMichael Fanone and Capi-tol Police Officer HarryDunn, have been lobbyingRepublicans to support anindependent commissionand met with McCarthy onFriday. Afterward, they saidthey had asked McCarthyto denounce GOP com-ments downplaying the vi-olence.

In the absence of an in-dependent commission,Fanone said he asked Mc-Carthy for a commitmentnot to put the wrong peopleon the new select panel andthat McCarthy said hewould take it seriously.

Pulling wisdom teeth can improve long-term taste function

Personality traits relate to beinga morning or evening person

According to a new studyfrom researchers at theUniversity of Warwick,

there is a definite link betweensleep patterns and personality,and a specific set of personalitytraits come together to fit themorning person type.

Researchers from the Uni-versity of Warwick with col-leagues from the University ofTartu have recently had the pa-per, 'Personality Traits Relate toChronotype at Both the Pheno-typic and Genetic Level' pub-lished in the 'Journal of Person-ality'. The link between the dif-ferent hierarchies of personali-ty, sleep patterns and even ge-netics has been discovered bythe researchers. Atypical exam-ple of a morning person isthought to be someone whowakes up naturally at 6 am,goes for a jog, showers, hasbreakfast, and is ready for aproductive day at work by 9am. Whereas an evening personstruggles to get up in the morn-ing and feels more productivein the evening. In the study, theresearchers analysed the rela-tionship between sleep timing(chronotype), preference to the

morning/evening, and personal-ity traits at a phenotypic and ge-netic level. Ultimately the re-searchers found that the rela-tionship between personalityand morningness-eveningnessis partly due to genetic factors.Using a large-scale sample ofparticipants from the EstonianBiobank, researchers askedthem to answer questionnairesabout their sleep timings and

personality, personality wasalso assessed by someone whoknew the participant well. Onceanswered researchers were ableto identify the phenotypic rela-tionships between sleep andpersonality. However, theywere also able to calculate thegenetic correlations throughsummary statistics of largegenome-wide association stud-ies of personality.

According to a new study, pa-tients who had their wisdomteeth extracted had improved

tasting abilities decades after havingthe surgery. The findings of the newPenn Medicine study were pub-lished in the journal 'Chemical Sens-es'. The results of the study chal-lenge the notion that removal ofwisdom teeth, known as third mo-lars, only has the potential for nega-tive effects on taste, and representone of the first studies to analyse thelong-term effects of extraction ontaste.

"Prior studies have only pointedto adverse effects on taste after ex-traction and it has been generallybelieved that those effects dissipateover time," said senior authorRichard L. Doty, PhD, director of

the Smell and Taste Center at theUniversity of Pennsylvania. "Thisnew study shows us that taste func-tion can actually slightly improvebetween the time patients have sur-gery and up to 20 years later. It's asurprising but fascinating findingthat deserves further investigation tobetter understand why it's enhancedand what it may mean clinically,"added Doty. Doty and co-authorDane Kim, a third-year student inthe University of PennsylvaniaSchool of Dental Medicine, evaluat-ed data from 1,255 patients who hadundergone a chemosensory evalua-tion at Penn's Smell and Taste Cen-ter over the course of 20 years.Among that group, 891 patients hadreceived third molar extractions and364 had not. The "whole-mouth

identification" test incorporates fivedifferent concentrations of sucrose,sodium chloride, citric acid, and caf-feine. Each solution is sipped,swished in the mouth, and then spitout. Subjects then indicate whetherthe solution tastes sweet, salty, sour,or bitter. The extraction group out-performed the control group foreach of the four tastes, and in all cas-es, women outperformed men. Thestudy suggests, for the first time,that people who have received ex-tractions in the distant past experi-ence, on average, an enhancement(typically a three to 10 percent im-provement) in their ability to taste."The study strongly suggests thatextraction of the third molar has apositive long-term, albeit subtle, ef-fect on the function of the lingual

taste pathways of some people,"Kim said. Two possibilities, the au-thors said, could explain the en-hancement.

First, extraction damage to thenerves that innervate the taste budson the front of the mouth can releaseinhibition on nerves that supply thetaste buds at the rear of the mouth,increasing whole-mouth sensitivity.Second, hypersensitivity after pe-ripheral nerve injury from a surgerylike an extraction has been well doc-umented in other contexts.

EDITORIALLearning matters

In his first essay on the ongoing pandemic, pub-lished in Il Manifesto on February 26, 2020, thenoted Italian philosopher, Giorgio Agamben, de-

scribed the Covid-19 crisis as “The Invention of anEpidemic” — the essay’s title — and went on to speakof how this “supposed epidemic” had enabled “agrowing tendency to trigger a state of exception as thestandard paradigm of governance”. That essay, alongwith twenty others, has now been published as WhereAre We Now?: The Epidemic as Politics, translatedinto English by Valeria Dani, and although there ismuch that one can disagree with in the slim volume —most notably, Agamben’s continuing reluctance to ac-cept the reality of the pandemic (“it’s irrelevantwhether it is real or simulated” he writes in the Fore-word) — the philosopher’s contention that govern-ments across the world have used, and are using, thepandemic to push through profoundly anti-democrat-ic, anti-people policies has an undeniable ring of truthto it. Already cursed with a Central government withpronounced authoritarian tendencies, our country canbear witness to how the pandemic has afforded an op-portunity to our Supreme Leader and his cohort todrive through harsh measures (the first lockdown atfour hours’ notice announced on national television,the construction of the grandiose Central Vista);loosen safety protocols and indulge in self-congratu-latory rhetoric against all scientific advice (the disas-trous encouragement for the massive Kumbh Melagathering when the second wave was underway, glee-ful boasting about India having defeated the coron-avirus and set a shining example at the World Eco-nomic Forum in Davos in January this year); take ac-tion against those warning against complacency (thearrest orders issued against doctors complaining ofoxygen shortages in Uttar Pradesh), to name just afew. Some of these measures will be forgotten, othersforgiven, and yet others justified in the name of pub-lic safety and the need to preserve morale, but a fewwill very likely remain and continue to haunt and hin-der us in the years and the decades to come. The edu-cational reforms being sought to be imposed, takingadvantage of the “state of exception” created by thepandemic, fall squarely in this last category. The po-tential of the National Education Policy 2020 —pushed through without any real consultation withstakeholders, especially state governments — to fur-ther increase the divide between the haves and thehave-nots has already been much discussed, and ques-tions raised about just how the government is going tofind the funds for the ambitious, feel-good plans out-lined in the NEP 2020, not to speak of the possibledeleterious effects of a centralized command structurefor curriculum design and research-fund allocationthat the NEP 2020 envisages.
