GENEVA — The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu, commended Saudi Arabia on the steps it has taken to ensure the health and safety of pilgrims during this year’s Hajj.

He praised the coronavirus measures taken by the Kingdom, noting that it is a perfect example of what countries could do in order to adapt themselves to the new situation and coexist with the virus and protect the lives of people.

He also congratulated Muslims all over the world on the advent of Eid Al-Adha.

WHO chief also said that the coronavirus pandemic does not mean that life should stop, rather we need to learn to coexist with it while protecting ourselves and others from it.

Adhanum announced in a press conference the establishment of a technical ad- visory group consisting of 22 experts from 16 countries, with expertise in several fields such as psychology, behavior science, social science, neuroscience, eco- nomics of behavior and social marketing.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Police force is headed by Dilbag Singh from Punjab.

Kashmiri judges are a minority in the Jammu and Kash- mir High Court, too. Of the 11 sitting judges, only two are Kashmiri Muslim while two are Kashmiri Pandit.

A logjam The August 5 decision also brought about a crucial change in the bureaucratic structure. While Jammu and Kashmir had special status, only 50% of its All India Service officers were direct recruits chosen through examinations held by the Union Public Service Commis- sion. The other came from Kashmir service officers who were promoted into All India Services. In other states, 67% of the officers are direct recruits while only 33% are officers inducted from the state services. When Jammu and Kashmir lost special status, it also became subject to the 67:33 rule.

After Serving 12-year Ban for Match-fixing, Mohammad Azharuddin Clueless as to Why He Was Banned Cricketnext Staff

Back in December 2000, former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin

was handed a life ban for his alleged involvement in the match-fixing claims, which was later turned into a 12-year ban. Now the dark phase is behind Azhar, as he heads the Hyderabad Cricket Association and is actively involved in cricket.

But even after so many years he does not know as to why he was banned INTERNATIONAL PAGES in the first place. Talking to cricketpakistan.com website, Azharuddin said, “I don’t want to blame anyone for what happened. I really don’t know the reasons for banning me...”

“...But I had decided to fight it and I am grateful that after 12 years I got cleared. I felt very satisfied when after being elected president of Hyder- abad association I went and attended the BCCI AGM meeting.” Talking about Younis, he said, “He looked ugly in his batting and I felt Azhar played 99 Tests for India, but he never knew that would turn out to bad that such a good batsman should play so ungainly. I knew him so I be his last in national colours. But he reiterates, that he holds no regrets. called him up and advised him to stay in the crease and try to play close to the body from inside the crease. “I am a firm believer in fate and whatever is in your destiny it happens. I look at this way that nowadays if a player is a class act he ends up playing “I am just happy he took my advice and went on to score a double cen- more than 100 Tests.

The Indian great also made it clear he remained a supremely good fielder “I played for around 16 to 17 years and I captained for around 10 years. and catcher because of his flexible body. What more can I ask for.”

He also talked about the time when Zaheer Abbas helped him come out of lean patch of form. And how he in turn helped Younis Khan end bad form.

“I was not sure about being selected for the Pakistan tour in 1989 as I was struggling badly for form. I remember in Karachi Zaheer bhai came to the ground to watch us practice. He asked me why I was getting out early. I told him my problems and he suggested I change my grip a bit.”

“Since I had nothing to lose and he had come himself to the ground and gave me this advice I said why not give it a try.

“The moment I changed my grip I felt more comfortable and confident and started playing freely. Eventually it also helped me become a more aggressive batsman.” AUGUST 2020 PAGE 19

“The central government hasn’t shown clear guidance and a clear strategy on what to do about Covid-19, and is pushing the responsibility to the local government,” said Haruka Sakamoto, a public health researcher at the Uni- versity of Tokyo. “In ordinary times, the government is very centralized, and usually prefectures don’t have strong opinions.”
