The corridor was shut in wakeof the COVID pandemic.

The visa-free 4.7-kilometrelong corridor joins the Indian bor-der to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib inPakistan. It became operational in2019 and was inaugurated by Pak-istan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The reopening of Kartarpur willassist thousands of devotees, large-ly Sikhs, to visit the final restingplace of Guru Nanak in Pakistan.

PANKAJ KATNAUNA: Satpal Singh Satti said thatjournalists always fight for truthfacing difficulties and challenges.He said that it is definitely smallbut it is beautiful. The first ParamVir Chakra was awarded to a braveson of Himachal. In Kargil too, thewhole country on one side and Hi-machal on one side. Two ParamVir Chakras were given to thebrave sons of Himachal. This is astate that is producing surpluspower. He welcomed the journal-ists from different states of thecountry and congratulated him onthe Press Day and said that he willtalk to the Chief Minister regardingthe rights and demands of thefourth pillar of democracy. Talks

will be ensured between CM andorganization. He said that a multi-purpose complex is being built inUna for the convenience of jour-nalists at his level in which officeswill be available to journalists aswell as offices will be given toleading NGOs. Journalists will

meet under one roof, NGO's allieswill also be available who willraise the voice of the public.

the journalists of the state and oth-er districts. He said that if therewas no media, many lives wouldhave been lost in the era of Covid.The role of media has been impor-tant in this difficult period. Thesalary of journalists is not thatmuch because it is not a job but amission, which leads to the over-throw of big coups. That's whydemocracy needs to be strong.National President Rash Beharishared his experiences on theoccasion of Press Day and alsogave information about his jour-nalism journey.

When became the GeneralSecretary of NUJ in 2010, I hadheard that there are some unitsin Himachal. At present, units

were formed under the leader-ship of Rajesh Rana. The Hi-machal unit is the most active inthe entire country. The way theprogramme has organised is agood sign for Himachal for thetime to come. From 1966 tillnow the whole scenario of thepress has changed, earlier thepress was now the media. Forthe last several years, there hasbeen a demand that a mediacouncil should be formed forwhich many times along withhanding over the memorandum,they also performed.Social me-dia has also dominated journal-ism these days.

While strongly recommendingthe case of Punjab for consideringspecial packages to wean away theagrarian state to industries, the Fi-nance Minister apprised the unionminister, the land locked state alsodeserves special packages at parwith its immediate neighboringstates such as Himachal Pradesh,Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarak-hand, saying that biological chainof Punjab is very strong and itspeople are very hard working. "Letnot the geography of Punjab defineits future as the state fought for the

nation in 1947, 1962, 1965 and1971, besides the ten years waragainst terrorism which sponsoredby “our friends” across the border,added Mr. Badal.

Punjab needs some nourish-ment from the Government of In-dia as the state is facing new agechallenges in transition of agricul-ture, said the Finance Minister,while urging the Union FinanceMinister to come out with someschemes like PLI which was givento industry so that Punjab can suc-cessfully migrate to other crops oranimal husbandry from two crop

pattern. It will not only increasethe income of the farmers but alsohelp in conservation of ground wa-ter and solve the problem of stub-ble burning which is again a burn-ing issue in the country. ManpreetSingh Badal sought the allotmentof a Pharma park, a Food Park anda Textile Park for Punjab, whichwill act as a game changing stepfor the Punjab. As far as powergeneration is concerned, Mr. Badalsaid, Punjab is the farthest destina-tion from coal mines and actuallywe want to switch from fossil fuelsinto either solar or gas if possible.

If we can somehow retire ourcoal-fired power stations, powerwill become cheap in the state, headded. He said that Punjab hasvery good infrastructure in termsof logistics and everything butthere are missing links in railwaysincluding at Patti and Makhu, Ra-jpura and Mohali, and Beas andQaddian. “You will be presenting arailway budget with the unionbudget, if these links of just 20-30KMs can find favour in yourbudget Punjab would be very wellplaced in terms of Railways andtravelers won’t have to makeround trips to Ambala to get to Ra-jasthan or Gujarat,” said Mr Badal.

Urging to look for options toprovide services to the citizens attheir doorsteps using technology,he urged the Union Finance Minis-ter to ask the Union Health Minis-ter to start the National Institute ofVirology as soon as possible as theland has already been provided forthe same.

Mr. Badal also requested forthe approval of Punjab's case ofSpecial Central Assistance for theCapital projects for Rs.150 crores,which is somehow struck at thecentral government level.

Study finds drug used to prevent miscarriageincreases risk of cancer in offspring

According to re-searchers at The Uni-versity of Texas

Health Science Center atHouston, exposure in uteroto a drug used to preventmiscarriage can lead to an in-creased risk of developingcancer.

The findings of the studywere published in the 'Amer-ican Journal of Obstetricsand Gynecology'. The drug,17-OHPC, is a syntheticprogestogen that was fre-quently used by women inthe 1950s and 1960s and isstill prescribed to women to-day to help prevent pretermbirth. Progesterone helps the

womb grow during pregnan-cy and prevents a womanfrom having early contrac-tions that may lead to mis-carriage. "Children whowere born to women who re-ceived the drug during preg-nancy have double the rate ofcancer across their lifetimecompared to children born towomen who did not take thisdrug," said Caitlin C. Mur-phy, PhD, MPH, lead authoron the study and associateprofessor in the Departmentof Health Promotion and Be-havioral Sciences atUTHealth School of PublicHealth in Houston. "We haveseen cancers like colorectal

cancer, pancreatic cancer,thyroid cancer, and manyothers increasing in peopleborn in and after the 1960s,and no one really knowswhy," Murphy added. Re-searchers reviewed data fromthe Kaiser FoundationHealth Plan on women whoreceived prenatal care be-tween June 1959 and June1967, and the CaliforniaCancer Registry, whichtraced cancer in offspringthrough 2019.

Out of more than 18,751live births, researchers dis-covered 1,008 cancer diag-noses were made in offspringages 0 to 58 years. Addition-

ally, a total of 234 offspringwere exposed to 17-OHPCduring pregnancy. Offspringexposed in the womb hadcancer detected in adulthoodmore than twice as often asoffspring not exposed to thedrug -- 65 per cent of cancersoccurred in adults youngerthan 50. "Our findings sug-gest taking this drug duringpregnancy can disrupt earlydevelopment, which may in-crease risk of cancer decadeslater," Murphy said. "Withthis drug, we are seeing theeffects of a synthetic hor-mone. Things that happenedto us in the womb, or expo-sures in utero, are important

risk factors for developingcancer many decades afterwe're born," Murphy added.A new randomised trialshows there is no benefit oftaking 17-OHPC, and that itdoes not reduce the risk ofpreterm birth, according toMurphy. The US Food andDrug Administration pro-posed in October 2020 thatthis particular drug be with-drawn from the market. Ad-ditional authors include PieraM.

EDITORIAL

In a stewLabour reform in India has always been a prick-

ly subject and any attempt to amend legislationsparks outrage and resentment among one or

the other group of stakeholders in the economy. Whenthe Narendra Modi government crunched 29 Centrallaws into four labour codes last year, India Inc was ec-static. The move ignited the hope that industry wouldfinally break free from the decades-old straitjacket ofrecruitment laws and labour practices that are totallyout of step with present-day realities. But the Centre’sefforts to introduce reformist laws to reinvigorate thebusiness ecosystem can often be stymied by the statesthrough regressive legislation. Earlier this month, In-dian industry received a body- blow when theHaryana government issued a notification outliningplans to implement a tough, sons-of-the-soil policy inthe private sector. From January 15 next year, 75 percent of all jobs in the private sector with a gross salarythreshold of Rs 30,000 will have to go to people domi-ciled in the state of Haryana. Industry has recoiledwith horror and intends to vigorously challenge themost noxious elements of the notification.

Trouble had been brewing for some time after theHaryana State Employment of Local Candidates Actreceived the governor’s assent in late February. TheHaryana legislation is modelled on the one passed bythe Andhra Pradesh government in 2019 but containsa few more draconian provisions. Unlike AndhraPradesh, Haryana has opted to go ahead and notify adate from when the provisions will come into effect.Industry has been granted very little wiggle room toplead for exclusion from the provisions and violationswill attract stiff penalties. The new law will impactconstruction, real estate, small and medium business-es, and factories the hardest. Automobile componentmakers will face the heat since they have a very largepool of migrant workers. Large business houses andmultinationals could look to house their new projectsin other states even as they scale back production intheir factories in Haryana. There could be one savinggrace: the Manohar Lal Khattar government relaxedits domiciliary rules earlier this year by trimming theresidency requirement to five years from the earlier15. Mr Khattar had insisted that this relaxation wouldapply only to private-sector jobs. The worry is thatthere is no mention of this in the November 6 notifi-cation, indicating that politics may have torpedoed theprinciple.

Warming temperatures increasinglyalter atmosphere's structure

Anew international study shown thatclimate change is having an increas-ing impact on the structure of the

Earth's atmosphere. The research, pub-lished in Science Advances, draws ondecades of weather balloon observationsand specialized satellite measurements toquantify the extent to which the top of thelowest level of the atmosphere is rising.That region, the tropopause, is pushing upthe boundary with the stratosphere byabout 50-60 meters (about 165-195 feet)per decade.

The rising is caused by warming tem-peratures near Earth's surface that are caus-ing the lower atmosphere to expand.

"This is an unambiguous sign of chang-ing atmospheric structure," said Bill Ran-del, a scientist at the National Center forAtmospheric Research (NCAR) and co-au-thor of the new study. "These results pro-vide independent confirmation, in additionto all the other evidence of climate change,that greenhouse gases are altering our at-mosphere." The international research teamwas led by scientists at Nanjing Universityin China. The study was supported in partby the National Science Foundation, whichis NCAR's sponsor.

The height of the tropopause, an at-mospheric region that divides the denseand turbulent troposphere from the overly-ing and more stable stratosphere, rangesfrom about 5 miles above Earth's surface atthe poles to 10 miles at the equator, de-pending on the season.

The location of the tropopause is of in-terest to commercial pilots who often fly inthe lower stratosphere to avoid turbulence,and it plays a role in severe thunderstorms,whose overshooting tops sometimes drivethe tropopause higher and drawdown airfrom the stratosphere.

The steadily increasing height of thetropopause in recent decades does not sig-nificantly affect society or ecosystems, butit illustrates the wide-ranging impacts ofgreenhouse gas emissions. Previous scien-

tific studies have shown that tropopause isrising. This was not only because of climatechange but also because of cooling in thestratosphere associated with ozone deple-tion. The 1987 Montreal Protocol and sub-sequent international agreements to restrictemissions of ozone-destroying chemicals,however, have successfully reversed theloss of ozone and stabilized temperatures inthe lower stratosphere.

Randel and his co-authors pulled to-gether newly available data to analyze howmuch tropopause is continuing to rise nowthat stratospheric temperatures are nolonger have a significant impact.

They turned primarily to two sources ofinformation. One was a recently updatedarchive of observations from radiosondes,which have been lofted high into the at-mosphere for decades on weather balloonsto measure atmospheric properties.

Because the radiosonde data is mostdetailed over land areas of the NorthernHemisphere between 20 and 80 degrees inlatitude, the new study focused on the ris-ing height of the tropopause in that region.

The scientists also analyzed observa-tions from specialized satellite instrumentsdating back to 2002 that probe the atmos-phere by measuring the degree to whichGlobal Positioning System (GPS) radiosignals bend and slow as they pass throughthe atmosphere.

This innovative technique, known asGPS radio occultation, was pioneered inpart by an array of satellites known asCOSMIC (now COSMIC-2), whose data isprocessed and disseminated by the Univer-sity Corporation for Atmospheric Re-search, which manages NCAR.

The research team then applied statisti-cal techniques to account for the impact of

natural events that temporarily change at-mospheric temperatures and affect thetropopause, such as volcanic eruptions andthe periodic warming of surface waters inthe eastern tropical Pacific Ocean known asEl Nino. This enabled them to isolate therole of human-induced warming. Theiranalysis of radiosonde observationsshowed that the tropopause has increased inheight at a steady pace since 1980: about58-59 meters per decade, of which 50-53meters per decade is attributable to human-induced warming of the lower atmosphere.This trend has continued even as the influ-ence from stratospheric temperatures haswaned, demonstrating that warming in thetroposphere is having an increasingly largeimpact. The satellite observations takensince 2000 verified that the height of thetropopause has increased over the past twodecades.

Dr. Amrit Bansal environmentalistplants 15 lakh trees in India

Dr. Amrit Bansal NationalConvener Green IndiaMovement is an renowned

environmentalist who is haveplayed an active role in construc-tion of public parks and planta-tion of trees since 1979. In asearly as 1979 he had construct-ed 4 public parks in a small townlike Goniana where he was post-ed as Executive Officer, Munici-pal Council Goniana and sincethen he had not looked back.

Thereafter he had joined asExecutive Officer in the NotifiedArea Committe S.A.S.Nagar(Mohali) where he had put ex-traordinary special efforts to con-struct 170 neghbourhood parksin Mohali city and dotted the en-tire town with large number ofparks. In Mohali town he alsoconstructed Boughenvillea Parkin phase-5 of Mohali and Rosegardens in Phase 3B-2.He alsogot constructed a big leisure val-ley park in Sector -62 spreadingover 55 acres which is mostbeautiful park in the Tricity andlarge residents of Chandigarhvisit this park daily and enjoy itsserene atmosphere.Besidesconstruction of large number ofParks in Mohali 5 lac trees werealso planted on 404 km of roads.The open spaces were devel-oped into green belts and largenumber of trees were planted allover the town. Similary at Nangaltown 5/6 public parks were de-veloped and a large number of

trees were planted in the town. Inthe year 2020 a large number ofBel trees were got appointed allover India in the States.

Dr.Amrit Bansal was ap-pointed National ConvenerGreen India Movement in recog-nition of his extraordinary work insaving and protecting the envi-ronment and planting large num-ber of trees. There has been arapid rise in atmospheric temper-ature, the water level is gonedown, the air pollution has in-creased, the glaciers are meltingbecause of release of carbondioxide in very heavy quantitiesall over the glob both due to in-dustrialisation and increase ofvehicles on the road side besidesburning of coal in factories andthermal plants. The only way tosave this planet is to increase theforest area which is dwindling

fast by greedy human race whichis unmindful of of its extinction ofits own race from the planet. Soit is the duty of all of all to savethis planet by planting at leastone tree by everyone every yearhas said Dr.Bansal.Dr.AmritBansal National ConvenerGreen India Movement hasplanted trees in all the states ofIndia on a large scale and havemotivated thousands for treeplantation. He has engaged indi-viduals, governmental and nongovernmental organisations toplant large number of trees allover India. All the State PollutionControl Boards, All State LocalGovt.Deptts and other social or-ganisations have been success-fully motivated to plant largenumber of trees and a massiveeffort have been put to do so byDr.Amrit Bansal. With his tirelessefforts more than 15 lakh treeshave been planted so far in allthe States all over India and thework to plant trees is still bringcontinued with all the force.

The efforts are being madeto plant large number of trees inevery town of India in all the dis-tricts and Tehsils and down to vil-lage level. Dr.Amrit Bansal hopeto continue the work of treesplantation in the times to comewith the same dedication andmotivate people from all the stra-ta of society to continue the workin tree plantation and this help tosave Mother Earth.

Anxiety can be effectivelytreated with exercise

Astudy led by researchers at the Uni-versity of Gothenburg has shownthat both moderate and strenuous

exercise alleviate symptoms of anxiety,even when the disorder is chronic. Thestudy, now published in the Journal of Af-fective Disorders, is based on 286 patientswith anxiety syndrome, recruited from pri-mary care services in Gothenburg and thenorthern part of Halland County. Half ofthe patients had lived with anxiety for atleast ten years. Their average age was 39years, and 70 per cent were women.

Through drawing of lots, participantswere assigned to group exercise sessions,either moderate or strenuous, for 12 weeks.The results show that their anxiety symp-toms were significantly alleviated evenwhen the anxiety was a chronic condition,compared with a control group who re-ceived advice on physical activity accord-ing to public health recommendations.Most individuals in the treatment groupswent from a baseline level of moderate tohigh anxiety to a low anxiety level after the12-week program. For those who exer-cised at relatively low intensity, the chanceof improvement in terms of anxiety symp-toms rose by a factor of 3.62. The corre-sponding factor for those who exercised athigher intensity was 4.88. Participants had

no knowledge of the physical training orcounselling people outside their owngroup was receiving. "There was a signif-icant intensity trend for improvement --that is, the more intensely they exercised,the more their anxiety symptoms im-proved," states Malin Henriksson, a doc-toral student at Sahlgrenska Academy atthe University of Gothenburg, a specialistin general medicine in the Halland Region,and the study's first author. Previous stud-ies of physical exercise in depression haveshown clear symptom improvements.However, a clear picture of how peoplewith anxiety are affected by exercise hasbeen lacking up to now.

Lung cancer is increasing rapidly due to lack of awareness and diagnosis--Dr. Prashant Bhatt

atiala:--Lung cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer in the world. According to the report of the "World Health Organization," PLung Cancer claimed almost 1.8 million lives globally in 2020,

making it the deadliest form of cancer. Lung Cancer is provoked by the unchecked growth of cells that can be classified as small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. The early stage of lung cancer does not show any symptoms; less than five patients with lung cancer can be diagnosed at the first stage. As per the report of the "Cancer Statistic report, 2020, approximately 90% of India's lung cancer patients are diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer due to a lack of diagnostic and awareness resources. Dr. Prashant Bhatt Senior Consultant Internal Medicine Manipal Hospital Patiala added by saying Smoking is recognized as the number one cause of lung cancer, but tobacco and cigarettes are not the only cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer can also be caused by factors such as the presence of radon in your environment or soil, second-hand smoking, and gene mutation. It is essential to raise awareness at every level by urging people to quit smoking and giving them access to all the necessary health infrastructure. Promoting regular health screening needs to be encouraged as testing can play a major role in the fight against lung cancer.

handigarh: Heavy Budgeted Indo- Polish film, No Means No’s Director, Vikash CVerma recently tweeted that a decision has

been taken to postpone the release date of the film. Initially slated for a November 5th release, sources are now saying that the reason could be due to a new Variant of the Novel Corona Virus, the AY .4.2. , causing an unescapable fear amongst the people who were already hesitant to visit the theatres and cinemas when they opened. As per recent reports of films having released in theatres in the past few weeks, the person count in cinemas is drastically less than what it used to be Pre-Covid, and even lower than what was expected after the reopening of Theatres. This has led to some films having a slow and dwindling response post release. Perhaps this is the reason that some of the big names like RRR, KGF 2 etc. have indefinitely postponed their release dates as well. Although the film is highly Anticipated in Europe, with action Hero, Dhruv Verma’s fight sequences already making headlines in European film magazines and News, especially in Poland, However, another reason behind No Means No’s delay is also the start of the Fourth Wave of Corona Virus.

Lindsay Lohan thrilled to be back at work, says 'couldn't be happier'

merican actor and TV personality Lindsay Lohan, who is set to make her acting comeback with a new Netflix movie, recently shared her excitement to be back on Asets, saying that she "couldn't be happier." She took to her Instagram account to

share how she feels to be back shooting for movies and wrote, "Back at work and couldn't be happier! Action! @netflix @netflixfilm." Nearly two days back, Netflix had released the first look of Lohan's forthcoming Christmas rom-com, which is still untitled. The star has largely foregone acting in recent years, so this movie -- which will stream during the holiday season next year -- marks her return to the screen. The film also stars Chord Overstreet opposite Lohan. In the movie, Lohan plays a "newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress" (according to the logline), who gets amnesia after a skiing accident and "finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner" -- that would be Overstreet -- "and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas," reported Variety. George Young, Jack Wagner and Olivia Perez are also a part of the cast. After withdrawing from acting when opportunities dried up for her because of her personal issues, Lohan moved abroad, living in both Europe and Dubai. She acted sporadically during that period, such as in Paul Schra der's 2013 movie, 'The

Canyons', appearing in a West End production of 'Speed-the-Plow' in 2014, recurring on the British TV comedy

'Sick Note' in 2018, starring in the MTV

reality show 'Lindsay

Lohan's Beach Club' in 2019, and later that year, appearing as a judge on the Australian version of 'The Masked Singer'.
