The COVID-19 situation in Japan has magnified for nine consecutive weeks due to the spread of new mutant strains. The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare reported a continuous increase in confirmed cases, leading some to speculate on the onset of the 10th wave. Experts emphasize the threat posed by highly contagious mutant strains and urge the public to remain vigilant and adhere to preventive measures.

In May 2023, Japan downgraded its COVID-19 prevention level to that of seasonal influenza, altering the reporting method. Results from around 5,000 designated medical institutions across Japan indicate a rising trend in reported cases, with an average of 12.23 patients per institution by the week ending January 21—1.4 times higher than the previous week and a consistent increase since late November 2023.

After Varanasi Court on Wednesday allowed Hindu devotees to offer prayers inside the 'Vyas Ka Tekhana' area inside the Gynavapi mosque complex, Mulsim side lawyer Akhlaq Ahmed said that they will approach the Allahabad High Court to challenge Varanasi Court's decision.

Akhlaq Ahmed said, "We will approach the Allahabad High Court against the decision. The order has overlooked the Advocate Commissioner report of 2022, ASI's report, and the decision of 1937, which was in our favour. Hindu side has not placed any evidence that prayers were held before 1993. There is no such idol in the place."

Advocate Merajuddin Siddiqui said he would go to higher courts regarding this order.

The country has great stakes in the return of the government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Tuesday and expressed the hope that India will emerge as the world’s third largest economy in Modi’s third term.

In less than ten years, we jumped to the fifth position after overtaking the United Kingdom, which had ruled over us for nearly two centuries. Hopefully this year, it will emerge as the fourth largest economy and during PM Modi’s third term, India will be the world’s 3rd largest economy, marching on to become the Number one economy by 2047.”
