Spl measles-rubella vax drive in UP to cover gaps below 95% mark
Uttar Pradesh has launched a focused measles-rubella (MR) vaccination campaign targeting 321 development blocks where vaccination coverage remains below 95%. The campaign aims to ensure every eligible child receives both doses of the MR vaccine, which protects against highly contagious viral diseases. State data shows the overall MR-I vaccination rate has reached 101.05%, while MR-II stands at 97.67%. However, 205 blocks across 12 districts have MR-I coverage under 95%, and 321 blocks in 25 districts report MR-II coverage below 95%. The campaign, which began on June 1, will continue through June 30, with special attention on these low-performing blocks, state government officials said. 'The focus remains equal for all districts with officials in 12 districts told to better network at ground level to ensure all left-out kids are given the due dose of MR vaccine,' said Dr Ajay Gupta, state immunisation officer. Districts with low vaccination (MR-I and MR-II) coverage include Lalitpur, Jalaun, Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur, Hamirpur, Shamli, Mathura, Azamgarh, Meerut, Aligarh, Banda, and Sonbhadra. The campaign targets around 53 lakh children for the first dose and 47 lakh for the second dose. In 2025, U.P. recorded a measles infection rate of 0.003% per lakh population, lower than Chhattisgarh (0.009%), Madhya Pradesh (0.006%), and Andhra Pradesh (0.005%). Notably, India aims to eliminate measles and rubella by 2026. The Universal Immunisation Programme offers two free MR vaccine doses to children between 9-12 months and 16-24 months of age.

India-Pakistan ceasefire in place, but Punjab's border districts yet to see normalcy
All restrictive orders imposed within the Amritsar district after Operation Sindoor, except the restriction on civilian drone flying, were withdrawn shortly after the ceasefire was announced on Saturday. However, normalcy was yet to return to the border districts. The airport and the international border, two of the city's important commercial hubs, will remain closed. So far, there was no official word from the government on when they will reopen. Maintaining that blackouts are implemented for public safety, the Amritsar administration said Sunday if there is any signal or indication of danger, a blackout will be enforced. Even so, people are advised to keep lights to a minimum during the night. In case of a blackout, all residents are requested to cooperate by turning off all forms of lighting, just as they did in recent days. During such times, people must stay indoors and not panic. The sense of normalcy cannot return until blackout continues, said Saurav Sharma, a citizen. The violation of the ceasefire on Saturday added to uncertainty in the border districts. Dr Ajay Gupta, MLA from the Central Assembly constituency, visited Motibazaar and Katra Ahluwalia markets within his constituency. Dr Gupta said he met shopkeepers to boost their morale and assured them that there is no reason to panic due to the current India-Pakistan situation. He affirmed that the Indian Army is fully capable and that all missiles and drones being sent from Pakistan are being destroyed mid-air by our forces. He said that traders will not be allowed to face any difficulties and that shopkeepers in the market are continuing business as usual. However, shops are unlikely to receive regular footfall until full normalcy returns to the city and other border districts. Punjab State Vyapar Mandal general secretary Sameer Jain said, 'There was definitely an impact of the current situation between India and Pakistan on the market. Almost all businesses shut down immediately. Only the retail sector was functioning, as people were hoarding. Otherwise, all other types of businesses were affected. There is still uncertainty because violations occurred soon after the ceasefire was announced. So now, we will have to see how people behave tomorrow when the markets reopen.' The city's tourism industry has already been impacted, with hotel occupancy down by 90%. One major source of livelihood for many involved in the tourism sector was taking tourists to the Wagah border. There is currently no indication of when the retreat ceremony will resume. Trade through the Integrated Check Post at Attari with Afghanistan was also suspended following the Pahalgam terror attack. Under the current circumstances, there appears to be little hope for its resumption in the near future. Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs is being urged to reopen the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Gurdaspur district. While releasing a statement, Amritsar Vikas Manch said, 'Now that a ceasefire is in place, the request for opening Kartarpur Sahib Corridor must be honuored without further delay.'
