Besides, a clear message was sent to the two militaries to adhere to the detailed protocols already in place, such as those agreed to in 2005 and 2013. These protocols regulate the activities of troops in the contested areas that lie in between both sides overlapping claim lines of the undefined LAC.

Job losses hit less-educated hardest

SAN FRANCISCO - (INT) - The COVID-19 recession has already led to much larger declines in employment than occurred throughout the Great Recession, and jobs have been lost much more quickly. As with past recessions, less-educated workers are bearing the brunt of these declines. Nationwide, almost 20 million workers lost jobs between February and April this year (among adults age 25 and over). Employment declined by about 7 million over a much longer period during the Great Recession. So far, less-educated workers—those without bachelor’s or graduate degrees—have accounted for 80% of all employment declines in the pandemic recession. Workers with degrees also tend to do better during economic recoveries. After the Great Recession, employment growth among educated workers was robust, but employment among less-educated workers never fully recovered. Employment among college graduates is much higher today (by about 11 million) than at the economic peak prior to the Great Recession. In contrast, employment among less…

Cheap politics can't help Centre wash its hand

Dear Editor, Misleading of Centre has rattled the stranded people. The sudden countywide lockdown, which was imposed by Prime Minister Modi on March 24, without proper preparation, has brought about many difficulties, and pushed migrants into sever events, in which they are victims. Eventually, Centre allowed stranded people to return homes after a month and a half since the lockdown was imposed in India, but some political leaders took it as a golden opportunity to play political games with certain states led by opposition parties. Before some days the Centre has played its political games with West Bengal government over the issue of Shramik Special trains for migrants. Now the Maharashtra government is being aimed by it over the same issue.

Shameful

Dear Editor, It was disturbing that a cop in Uttarakhand allegedly tried to rape a woman at a quarantine centre. The Surajmal Institute located in Pulbhatta has been turned into a quarantine centre, where people coming to the area, are being asked to stay. Among the inmates of the quarantine centre is a newly-wed couple. Allegedly, the policeman went to the newly-wed couple's room located on the second floor. After reaching there, the accused grabbed the woman's hand and started taking her to a room located on the first floor. As per the police complaint, the accused was inebriated when the incident took place. However, it is an obvious misbehaviour of policeman. It is extremely condemnable, specially when it was committed by a person, who is responsible for safety of people. His misbehaviour not only stigmatized his family, but also defamed the group of security forces. Culprit must be punished. --M N Musaeed Jogeshwari Mumbai
