The launch of new PCs and laptops may be affected by the spread of Corona in China.
Due to the rapid spread of Corona again in China during the last few weeks, there may be a labor shortage in many industries. This is also likely to affect the launch of new PCs and laptops. In China, the government had given some relaxation in the restrictions related to Corona. Since then the number of people infected with this virus is increasing. The problems of suppliers of companies manufacturing personal computers and laptops in China have also increased due to Corona. Many workers of some of these firms have been infected with the virus and due to this production has had to be temporarily stopped. This will cause delays in shipments, which will impact the availability of products like new laptops. Contract manufacturing firms like Compal, Inventec, Quanta and Wistron have not yet faced shortages of components or workers. Due to the inventory already available with them and the demand not being expected to be very high in the first quarter, they have not asked their suppliers to increase production. However, big companies manufacturing personal computers may face difficulties and this is likely to impact the supply of PCs. The situation in China is worsening due to increasing Corona cases. A large number of people are getting infected by the new variant of this epidemic called BF.7. The reports coming from China have shocked the whole world. The videos coming from Chinese hospitals are scary. One such video has been shared on social media, in which it can be seen that a doctor became so tired due to the workload that he collapsed on his chair. This video has been shared by ‘The Telegraph’. It can be seen that a doctor is looking at the patients present in the hospital. After this he suddenly falls on his chair and other doctors come to help him. This indicates that China’s hospitals are full of patients and the systems there have completely collapsed. Experts say that 60 percent of China’s population may get infected with Corona in the next 90 days. -

He had taken cashew nuts and almonds in his pocket, what did the master thief Lokesh do inside the showroom that day for 18 hours?
When the shutters of a jewelery shop opened on Tuesday morning in Bhogal, the capital Delhi, all the gold, silver and diamonds kept inside were missing. After some time the police reached there and when it was revealed that goods worth Rs 25 crore were stolen from inside the showroom, everyone was shocked. This theft is being described as the biggest theft in Delhi. Delhi Police came into action. Records of about five thousand mobile numbers active in the area were checked. And finally master thief Lokesh Shriwas was arrested in Chhattisgarh. Do you know how much time it took to commit this theft? What did Lokesh do inside the showroom? What plan did he make to carry out such a big theft? Let us know everything one by one…
Reiki three times…
Lokesh is not being called a master thief just like that. FIRs are registered against him in many states. He targets only gold, silver and diamond showrooms. In the year 2019, he had stolen goods worth Rs 5 crore from Parakh Jewelers in Chhattisgarh. Lokesh did Reiki thrice to carry out Delhi’s biggest theft. According to the report of ‘Indian Express’, Lokesh first came to Delhi on September 9 to do Reiki. He kept hovering around the showroom till 12th September. After doing Reiki he went to Vrindavan. Then he came for the second time on 15 September to do Reiki. He came to Delhi on 21st September to do Reiki for the third and last time. This time he did not go back anywhere. In such a situation, it is believed that after the third Reiki, the thief had a strong plan with which he was going to make goods worth crores disappear.
And then goods worth crores went missing…
Master thief Lokesh Umrao Singh entered the jewelers showroom late on the night of 24th September (Sunday). The next day, on 25th September, he came out late in the evening with gold, silver and diamonds from the shop and caught a bus from Delhi to Madhya Pradesh at 9 pm. That means Lokesh spent 18 hours inside the showroom. In this time he had lost goods worth Rs 25 crore.
What did you take inside?
Master thief Lokesh has been to jail many times before. A police officer who investigated his case had told that he carried out the theft incidents alone. Even in Delhi, he had gone alone to the showroom to steal. DCP said that before going inside the shop, he had purchased a disc cutter machine from GB Road for Rs 1300. Apart from this, he had also bought a hammer from Chandni Chowk. Lokesh had brought a screwdriver with him from Chhattisgarh.

What did you do for 18 hours?
This question is arising in everyone’s mind that what did a thief keep doing inside the showroom for 18 hours? Lokesh is a clever thief. He has carried out many such small and big incidents. He knew that stealing could take a long time. He also chose the day very thoughtfully. Because in the area where this shop is located, there is a weekly closure on Monday. Because of this he got the whole day of Monday to commit theft. A police officer said that he had taken cashew nuts and almonds with him. When he felt hungry, he used to eat cashew nuts and almonds. It took him 18 hours to dig the tunnel and break all the lockers. After the theft he disappeared from Delhi. After investigation, the police caught him from Durg in Chhattisgarh. He was in a rented room, gold worth crores was lying on the floor. Surprisingly, there is a police post just a few meters away from his room.
