India will stage a one-day nationwide people's curfew on March 22, 2020 to test the country's readiness to confront the growing number of coronavirus cases The Indian state of Tamil Nadu on Friday took the rare step of closing its borders with several neighbouring states because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Tamil Nadu government shut the borders with Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh states, which have reported a growing number of coronavirus cases. While India has virtually sealed its land [https://ultramomgift1.my-free.website/blog/post/32231/unique-summer-holiday-destinations-in-india https://ultramomgift1.my-free.website/blog/post/32231/unique-summer-holiday-destinations-in-india] borders with other countries and incoming flights are banned from Sunday, officials said they could not recall a state closing internal borders like this in recent decades. A government statement said the measure would last until at least March 31 and that only "essential goods" and government buses would be allowed across the border. "All passengers will be screened," the statement said. Kerala was until recently one of the worst-hit states in India, which now has more than 220 cases and recorded four deaths from the virus. Between them, the three states now cut off from Tamil Nadu account for more than 40 of India's cases. The move came ahead of a nationwide one-day people's curfew that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for Sunday to test the readiness of the country of 1.3 billion people to confront the growing number of cases. While the curfew has been described as voluntary and police will not enforce the move, the right-wing leader said "all citizens must abide by this curfew. We shall neither leave our homes nor go onto the streets." The Delhi metro will be closed and many railway services have been cancelled for the day.

NEW DELHI, Oct 30 (Reuters) - India will lease a quarter of its strategic petroleum reserve in Padur to Saudi Aramco to store about 4.6 million barrels of oil, a government official said on Wednesday, as New Delhi seeks global investment in its expanding energy infrastructure. Global oil producers are eager to gain a foothold in India, where fuel demand is expected to keep rising as the country's economy grows. Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd, a government company charged with building oil storage, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Saudi state firm for its participation in the 2.5-million-tonne facility in Karnataka state. "Aramco has signed an MoU for only one compartment," said HPS Ahuja, chief executive of the Indian company. The Padur storage facility has four equal-sized compartments. So far, [https://blogtraveldiscounts.tumblr.com/post/190603955682/pick-coorg-travel-guide-to-plan-a-perfect-holiday https://blogtraveldiscounts.tumblr.com/post/190603955682/pick-coorg-travel-guide-to-plan-a-perfect-holiday] Abu Dhabi National Oil Co is the only foreign company storing oil in India's strategic reserves, at Mangalore, also in Karnataka. Last year it signed a preliminary agreement to use half of the Padur reserve. Ahuja said Aramco would have to keep some of the 4.6 million barrels for India's strategic needs, but could sell the rest to Indian refiners. India, which relies on imports for about 80% of its oil needs, has underground emergency storage in three locations to protect against any supply disruption. The reserves can hold 36.87 million barrels. (Reporting by Nidhi Verma; Editing by Dale Hudson)

Kerala has been hit by deadly floods in August 2019 India issued a fresh flood alert Wednesday for parts of the southern state of Kerala, as the nationwide death toll from the annual monsoon deluge rose to at least 244. Authorities warned Kerala locals of heavy rainfall over the next 24-48 hours in some of the worst affected regions of the state popular with tourists. Heavy rain in parts of four Indian states -- Kerala, [https://travelblogupdate.tumblr.com/post/190436501327/three-must-visit-hill-stations-in-south-india https://travelblogupdate.tumblr.com/post/190436501327/three-must-visit-hill-stations-in-south-india] Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat -- has forced more than 1.2 million people to leave their homes, mostly for government-run relief camps. Kerala was hit by its worst floods in almost a century last year, when 450 people died, and the state is still recovering from the damage to public infrastructure including highways, railways and roads. The state's death toll this monsoon season increased to 95 overnight, with at least 59 people missing, Kerala police told AFP on Wednesday. At least 58 people have also lost their lives in neighbouring Karnataka state, where authorities have rescued around 677,000 people from flooded regions. The situation is now improving in Karnataka, however, as waters start to recede, a government official told AFP. In the western states of Gujarat and Maharashtra the death toll reached 91, with hundreds of thousands rescued from inundated regions. "Our teams have recovered 49 bodies so far from different regions including Sangli, Kolhapur, Satara and Pune, and most deaths were caused due to drowning and wall collapses," Deepak Mhaisekar, divisional commissioner of Pune told AFP. "The situation is under control now," he added, though the casualty count may increase slightly. India has deployed the army, navy and air force to work with the local emergency personnel for search, rescue and relief operations. The monsoon rains are crucial to replenishing water supplies in drought-stricken India, but they kill hundreds of people across the country every year.
