While previous studies have shown that T cellsinduced by other coronaviruses canrecognise SARS-CoV-2, the strainwhich causes COVID-19, the newstudy examines how the presence ofthese T cells at the time of SARS-CoV2 exposure influences infection.The researchers believe their findingsprovide a blueprint for a second-generation, universal vaccine that could pre-vent infection from current and futureSARS-CoV-2 variants, includingOmicron.Our study provides the clearest evidence to date that T cells induced bycommon cold coronaviruses play a protective role against SARS-CoV-2 infection. These T cells provide protection byattacking proteins within the virus, ratherthan the spike protein on its surface, saidsenior author Professor Ajit Lalvani,Director of the National Institute forHealth Research (NIHR) RespiratoryInfections Health Protection ResearchUnit at Imperial College London."The spike protein is under intenseimmune pressure from vaccine-inducedantibody, which drives evolution of vaccine escape mutants. In contrast, theinternal proteins targeted by the protective T cells we identified mutate muchless. Consequently, they are highly conserved between the various SARSCoV-2 variants, including Omicron, heexplained.Omicron puts a hold on relocation of staff?NAVEENA GHANATEn HYDERABADAlthough the state governmenthas completed postings of all district cadre employees in the state asper the Presidential Order 2018, theOmicron-induced third wave ofCovid19 has necessitated a halt inthe process of relocation.Senior officials confirmed that,due to the surge in Covid-19 cases,the process of relocation has beenhalted, though multi-zonal postingwill continue.Highly placed sources said that,during a high-level meeting withdepartmental heads, it was decided to put on hold multi-zonalcadre posting options and allowemployees to work at their existingplaces even if they are allotted toanother zone. Especially in theHealth Department, consideringthe need to have staff in view of therising cases, the state governmenthas reportedly stopped relocation.Official orders have not yet beengiven, though the Telangana government took up the exercise toreshuffle 2.5 lakh employees as perthe new zonal system in line withGOs 317 and 377 dated 6December 2021.Several associations of variousdepartments have given representations urging the state government to consider all doctorsunder state cadre and not multizone cadre.Dr Kathi Janardhan of theTelangana Public Health DoctorsAssociation said that their representations regarding conversion ofdoctors' multi-zonal cadre to thestate cadre had reached theGovernment, along with severalother departments' multi-zonalstate cadre representations.He said, "We doctors want thiszonal issue to be fixed permanently.

The officialspokesperson of the Congressunit in the state went one stepahead to dub it as people ofPunjab proving their mettle.The Prime Minister's convoy got stranded on a flyoverclose to Pakistan for 20 minutes due to a sit-in staged byprotesters.

The local police didnot ready an alternative routefor the PM's convoy. TheChief Minister also did notrespond to phone calls madeby PM's security officers tobrief them about the hiccupsin the security detail. Thewhole episode makes onething clear: the Punjab government machinery actedwith the intent to cause harmto the PM.Why could the PunjabGovernment not providesecurity a la Uttar Pradesh,Uttarakhand, Goa and otherstates which the PM hadtoured without any issue?What prompted the SupremeCourt to constitute an independent committee to go intothe lapses in PM's security?Inefficient and unsuccessfulpolicies of successive Congressgovernments had vitiated thelaw and order situation in various parts of the country,including Punjab and J and K.To come to power, theCongress did not hesitate tocreate a character likeBhindranwale.
