CHANDIGARH: Jolted by the intense second wave of Covid-19 infections, Punjab’s effective reproduction rate (R-value) — an indicator of how fast infection spreads — has dropped below the national average and is lowest in the region.
If the trend continues for the next few weeks, experts have not ruled out the possibility of epidemic locally burning itself out. The current trend in Punjab has been attributed to the growth rate slowing down in the past few weeks. On the other hand, the growth rate has recorded a significant jump at national level and in the neighbouring states.

According to BJP insiders, the move is part of micromanagement by the party as it is working to expand and consolidate its base in Punjab when it set to go alone in the 2022 assembly elections.
There are scores of residents in Punjab who trace their roots in Himachal but are now permanent residents of the state. Sources said that other districts too can have such special cells if the local BJP units feel the need. Punjab unit of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) already has a predominant presence of parcharaks, who are important functionaries of the Sangh, who have roots in Himachal.
