When a person infected with SARS-CoV-2 sneezes, coughs or speaks, some of the virus can be expelled and reach others. The chewing gum targets the virus in the saliva, and does so by trapping it with the ACE2 protein.

Good morning,
🚨 *The Big Story*
Expressing regret over the incident in Nagaland in which civilians were killed by security personnel, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Parliament Monday that “a team of 21 para-commandos of Indian Army laid an ambush” for insurgents in Mon district on December 4 evening but “it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity”. He said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted and directed to complete the investigation within one month.

Even as Nagaland police filed a suo motu FIR against the security forces saying their intention was "to murder and injure civilians", the father of a miner who died in the ambush said that "justice is not about the money we are offered". He wanted the Army officer who led the operation identified and punished.

The two countries also signed an agreement for military technology cooperation for the next decade — from 2021 to 2031.

An FIR was lodged against managers of two schools in UP’s Muzaffarnagar Sunday over the alleged molestation of 17 students of Class 10 of a private recognised school, who were taken from home on the pretext of a CBSE practical exam. Both are yet to be arrested, more than a fortnight after the alleged incident. Sources said the two accused got away with the crime as the parents are very poor and did not question the girls being taken away for an exam.

Dates for Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh are yet to be announced but the battle of poll slogans and songs is already underway.

AT 73, Ghulam Nabi Azad is an unlikely rebel. But the old Gandhi family loyalist has now put the party on notice with a series of rallies across Jammu and Kashmir. With many Congress leaders joining him at his meetings, and 20 of his loyalists quitting party posts recently seeking a change in leadership in the UT, speculation is brewing about Azad’s future plans.
