Indore, Mar 7: Madhya Pradesh Culture Minister Usha Thakur on Sunday stressed the need for adopting Vedic lifestyle for protection against coronavirus, and claimed that 'havan' (ritual burning) of a cow dung cake can keep a house sanitised for 12 hours.

She was speaking during a function at the Indore Press Club.

"In order to combat the COVID-19 outbreak, Vedic lifestyle has its own role to play along with allopathy. The pandemic has sent out a message that we have to return to the Vedic lifestyle," Thakur said.

"Mix ghee (clarified butter) made out of cow milk with rice. If you add this mixture on a cow dung cake during havans at the time of sunrise and sunset, then your place would remain sanitised for 12 hours," she added.

She said that her advice may appear strange to people, but this tip to keep houses sanitised was not imaginary.

"This is science...," she claimed.

New Delhi (PTI): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday visited Delhi Cabinet Minister Atishi at the LNJP hospital here.

Atishi was hospitalised on Tuesday due to her worsening health conditions while on an indefinite hunger strike to demand water for the national capital amid its ongoing scarcity.

The AAP leader, who holds multiple portfolios in the Delhi government, was admitted to the emergency ICU at the Lok Nayak Hospital, and doctors said Tuesday that her condition was stable.

Atishi had begun her hunger strike on June 21. It ended with her hospitalisation.
