Chennai, July 10 () A team, deputed by the Central government to assess the COVID-19 situation in Tamil Nadu, met Chief Minister K Palaniswami here on Friday and discussed the strategy to contain the spread of the virus. State Health Minister Dr C Vijaya Bhaskar and health secretary J Radhakrishnan briefed the team on the strategies adopted to contain the pandemic and the steps taken to ramp up the testing for COVID-19. Chief Secretary K Shanmugham and senior officials too participated in the meeting. Measures of treatment taken to improve the recovery rate were also explained at the meeting. With this, the five-member team, led by Union Health Ministry's additional secretary Aarti Ahuja, wrapped up the three-day visit. The team had appreciated the state government's measures to combat the coronavirus and also the untiring efforts of the frontline health workers in treating the infected, official sources have said. The visit had come at a time when Chennai saw a drop in the number of COVID-19 cases, though the number of containment zones increased from 158 on July 3 to 276 on July 10. According to Greater Chennai Corporation, Teynampet zone has the most number of containment zones at 134 as on July 10 followed by Tondiarpet with 50 and Anna Nagar with 38. As on July 9, the city reported a total of 73,728 positive cases. About 52,287 have recovered while active cases remain at 20,271 cases and 1,169 have died. JSP NVG NVG

Central team to assess COVID-19 situation in TN meets CM

key behind high numbers, says govt Chennai July 4 (): Tamil Nadu may have breached the grim benchmark of one lakh COVID-19 infections, racing to second place in the country behind Maharashtra, but the government says ramped up testing and early detection are among the factors leading to reporting of such high numbers. The southern state's numbers as on Friday clocked a total of 1,02,721 with 1,385 deaths, while recoveries stood at 58,378. The recovery rate is 57 per cent. Around 12.70 lakh samples have been tested so far, the numbers being 35,028 on Friday. The state's fatality rate is 1.3 per cent. Among the many infected include state Higher Education Minister K P Anbalagan. DMK legislator J Anbazhagan, who had tested positive for the deadly virus, died early in June. When health minister Dr C Vijayabaskar took to Twitter to announce the first Coronavirus case in Tamil Nadu on March 7, an engineer from Kancheepuram with a travel history to Oman, little did people imagine the state would register over a lakh cases in a little less than four months. Tamil Nadu seemed comfortable then as neighbouring states like Kerala saw a spike in Coronavirus cases. Though the state reported lower daily increase initially, with the government having high hopes of reversing the trend soon, things changed and the numbers started galloping after two clusters---the Tablighi Jamaat members, and the Koyambedu wholesale market, started redrawing the COVID-19 situation in the state. The government said many cases were imported from other states and countries too. Though initially Chennai with its medical infrastructure and size of population contributed to the high caseloads, other parts in Tamil Nadu too started reporting cases since June. Incidentally, Chennai tops the virus chart with 64,689 cases so far. The government has said density of population is an important factor for the rapid spread of the pandemic in the city. At present, Chennai has 158 containment zones, 50 of which are in Tondiarpet and 43 in Anna Nagar, two of the worst affected areas in the city. Tamil Culture minister K Pandiarajan, entrusted to oversee the work in Tondiarpet, told that "the 2,200 strong field team and the mantra of the Chief Minister (K Palaniswami) to align five Ts - Trace, Track, Test, Treat and Tech-- have helped to increase the recovery rate and brought down the fatalities (in the city)." Chennai's neighbouring districts--Kancheepuram, Chengalpetand Tiruvallur, besides Madurai, are the other districts with high virus caseloads. These districts are presently under intense lockdown to curb the spread of the contagion, although curbs will continue with some relaxations from July 6. Though the state has been reporting high daily tally for the past many days, the government insists that there is no need for panic. "The spike in cases should not make one panic and Chennai's slums need not be compared with those in Mumbai," (another high prevalent zone), according to Health secretary J Radhakrishnan. "The chief minister's strategy of aggressive and increased testing has led to increase in cases. The state's focus is to reduce its fatalities. Tamil Nadu has a fatality rate of 1.3 per cent, which is low compared to the national average of 2.9 per cent," he said. JSP SA APR RAVINDRANATH APR RAVINDRANATH

TN crosses one lakh COVID-19 mark; more tests, early detection

<ul><li>Buying a house is becoming more and more expensive, as the metro cities are becoming crowded. </li><li>ANAROCK, a property consultancy firm, shared the list of top 10 most expensive location in India to buy a house. </li><li>The most expensive place to buy a house is Mumbai's Tardeo where a square foot of land can foot a bill of ₹56,200. </li></ul>The financial capital of India is also home to the country’s most priciest homes and pin codes. South Mumbai's Tardeo was declared most most expensive luxury residential location, which costs an enormous ₹ 56,200 per sq. ft. according to a property consultant ANAROCK. It means an average home in Mumbai’s costliest district only start at around ₹ 6.6 crore. Tardeo has three things going for it -- connectivity, connectivity and connectivity. This commercial and residential locality of the rich and the famous, is easily accessible to three key forms of transport — Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai Central Railway Station and bus stands. Mumbai also snagged the second and third most hyper-expensive luxury housing locations are also in Mumbai. Worli and Mahalaxmi, with per square feet prices at INR 41,500 and INR 40,000 per sq. ft. respectively. And they are also heavily in demand. These two localities recorded an aggregate supply of over 9,600 units since 2013. “Even as India’s middle-class grapples with the prospect of an uncertain future in their careers and financial ability – the main drivers of housing demand – the rise of India’s super-rich continues unabated,” said Anuj Puri, chairman of ANAROCK Property Consultants. The next two super expensive areas are from Chennai and not Delhi as expected. Nungambakkan and Egmore are beyond the reach of most common people, as their per square feet prices are between ₹15000 to ₹20,000 . Anna Nagar also made it to the seventh position. Two of Delhi’s localities like Karol Bagh and Golf Course Road made it to the list however, and so did Kolkata’s Alipore area, along with Pune’s Koregaon Park. It is not surprising to see the growth in expensive homes as the rich increasing in number. According to a Credit Suisse report, there were an estimated 3.42 lakh Dollar-millionaires in India as on mid-2018 who collectively held around $6 trillion. It is forecast that 5.26 lakh Indian dollar millionaires’ wealth will be around $8.8 trillion by 2023. Market fluctuations make very little difference to the personal net worth of these individuals, indicating that they are not beaten by the slowdown like everyone else.
