India’s army of 600,000 coronavirus hunting women goes on strike, South Asia News & Top Stories – The Straits Times

They want better and timely pay, and a legal status that ensures minimum wages, to sustain their work of helping Indian officials track down high-risk contacts of Covid-19 patients across slums and hard-to-reach rural parts of the country.

Losing the Ashas would not only threaten India’s virus-containment effort, but also impact the other essential health services they provide to rural households that range from child vaccinations to tuberculosis control.

“For working from 7am to 5pm we get only 2,000 rupees (S$36.55) a month and no masks or sanitiser,” said Ms Sulochana Rajendra Sabde, a 45-year-old Asha in the Jalgaon district of Maharashtra, a state along India’s west cost with Mumbai as its capital.

Buy American? Trump makes over $1 million from store selling products of foreign origins

As of Friday, there are currently over 100 products under the “Made in America” collection on the online Trump Store, where they are marked as either “Made in America” or “Made in the USA,” according to a CNBC review. Yet, at least another 180 items that CNBC reviewed are labeled as having been made in Scotland, France or Italy, are labeled as “Decorated in the USA” or have no country of origin listed at all.

That means a little more than a third of the items in the online Trump Store are described as officially made in the United States. There is also an in-person Trump Store located in New York’s Trump Tower.

“The group of rescuers in the first shift is working at the locations pointed out by the (search and rescue) dogs, they are widening the gaps between the concrete slabs to see what can be done,” said Igor Akmayev, the head of the Russian rescue group in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the makeshift hospital set up by the Russian team at a stadium near the explosion site said it had treated 12 people since Thursday.
