It will be a modern design

The IICF unveiled a futuristic design with beautiful mosque featuring a massive glass dome sitting in a picturesque garden. Also, a hospital building is seen just behind the mosque. But IICF also intends constructing an Indo-Islamic cultural research centre, library, museum, publication house and a community kitchen.

The nine trustees of the foundation recently held a meeting to discuss the design and clearances for foreign contribution from Income Tax Department. They also discussed issues related to the new design and decided to apply to the Ayodhya District Board to allow construction of library and other facilities.

Settlement of Ayodhya dispute

Supreme Court in its November 2020 verdict made it clear that the disputed site at Ayodhya belonged to Lord Ram but it also ordered a suitable place be allotted for construction of a mosque.

World Blood Donor Day 2020 Says Safe Blood Saves Life

HT News

Every year June 14 is observed as the World Blood Donor Day but this year, it is going to be very special because COVId-19 has made voluntary blood donation a difficult task. It has added one more screening test for the blood.

The World Blood Donor Day 2020

The theme for this year is “safe blood saves life” and health experts and patient advocacy groups have come together to promote blood donation and stressed on the safety aspect of blood donation especially when it has become scarce amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Harsh Vardhan appealed for blood donation

Union Health Minister appealed to voluntary organizations, NGOs and people at large to come forward and donate blood so that the country has ample stock of blood to meet any eventuality. According to WHO, there were 11.6 million unpaid blood donations from 2008 to 2015. It said that 78 countries collected over 90% of their blood supply from voluntary unpaid blood donors. And 58 countries got supplies from family/replacement or paid donors.

Shortage of blood in India

La Liga Starts Today With Mallorca VS Barcelona In Spain

HT News

The wait for the greatest of all football clubs in the world is finally over. It has been three-months since Barcelona played its last match. On June 13, 2020, Barcelona will meet Mallorca in Spain to start remaining series of La Liga.

Last season of La Liga

The season one was left with 11 matches to play for Barcelona and Mallorca. Barca was ahead of Real Madrid in the first place and Mallorca was at the 18th position. And both the teams are desperately looking for a win but it is Barcelona that has to win this match.

The game will become serious as the tournament reaches the final 10 or 11 games. Barca has come on the top after Madrid lost to Real Betis but Barcelona can’t afford to lose to Cristian Tello. It is time when Barca needs to show its full strength as there are no worries about Champions League until the La Liga season concludes. No excuses will be accepted for the loss.

Advantage Barcelona

Luis Suarez is back from injury and Lionel Messi looks eager to score goals. But there will be no audiences, supporters or fans in the stadium hence Barcelona won’t say that they have to play away from the home ground. They have to play like never before and entertain their fans across the globe.

Prediction

It has been three months since the last match was played hence it is difficult to predict the right outcome of today’s match. But most fans would bet on Barcelona that has greater chances of scoring maximum goals.
