Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu tested positive for the Covid-19 while his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad K. Sangma, who last week visited Delhi and Manipur, tested negative for the virus, officials said on Tuesday.

Meghalaya Power Minister James P. K. Sangma, younger brother of the Chief Minister, however, has tested positive for Covid-19.

Khandu, who last week trekked a distance of 24 km in 11 hours to meet people of a remote village under his home constituency Mukto in Tawang district, tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday.

"I had undergone Covid test RT-PCR and have tested positive for Covid-19. I am asymptomatic and feeling healthy. However as per SOP and safety of others, I am self isolating myself and request everyone who came in contact with me to adhere to the SOP," the 41-year old chief minister said in a tweet.

The Covid-19 tally in Arunachal Pradesh rose to 6,298 with 4,531 people recovered from the disease and 11 people died.

Health officials in Shillong said that Meghalaya Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong and Power Minister had travelled together to New Delhi last week and then to Imphal where only James tested positive for the infectious disease on his arrival at the airport.

Meghalaya has so far recorded 4,037 Covid-19 positive cases with 1,818 active cases and 29 people have succumbed to the dreaded disease.

Paris Hilton has revealed she's ready for motherhood as the heiress credits her boyfriend with helping her get through the abuse she endured as a teen in boarding school, she exclusively told DailyMail.com. 

The 39-year-old socialite and entrepreneur gives fans a much different look into her glamorized life in her new documentary This Is Paris, which premiered on Monday on YouTube.  

Hilton became so close with director Alexandra Dean while filming, she disclosed secrets she had never shared before about being mentally and verbally abused while at Provo Canyon School, a boarding school she attended in Utah.

Hilton said she used to suffer from severe nightmares every night, but speaking out about her experience has helped release many of those painful emotions, as well as her relationship with boyfriend Carter Reum. 

Now Hilton said she's ready to focus on having a family with Reum, 39, saying: 'We have an incredible relationship which makes me feel so happy and safe that I don't have any nightmares anymore.' 

She added: 'I can't wait to have my baby daughter named London.'

Hilton said she never set out to expose her deepest darkest secret, but that changed when the film's director gained her trust.

She explained: 'The premise of the film was about my life and being a businesswoman and all the hard work I've put into that and this just happened organically where I became so close to the director I started talking about traumatic experiences that happened in my life. 

'All the memories that I tried to erase with my mind just started flooding back. I didn't want this in the film, even during the editing process I felt like it was too personal. I had never told anyone.'

Hilton spent 11 months at Provo Canyon from 1998 to 1999, before leaving when she turned 18. 

She had ended up there after being sent to a series of boarding schools, following a rebellious phase while living at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City with her family. 

Provo Canyon, the last in a series of schools her parents enrolled her in, focused on behavioral and mental development. 

It has come under fire for questionable practices and ongoing claims of widespread emotional, verbal and physical abuse.

Now Hilton said she's ready to focus on having a family with Reum (pictured together), saying: 'We have an incredible relationship which makes me feel so happy and safe that I don't have any nightmares anymore'

Hilton left the school in 1999, after she turned 18, recalling: 'I was so grateful to be out of there, I didn’t even want to bring it up again' (pictured in August, 2000)

Hilton told People of her time at the boarding school: 'From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, it was all day screaming in my face, yelling at me, continuous torture.

'The staff would say terrible things. They were constantly making me feel bad about myself and bully me. I think it was their goal to break us down. 

'And they were physically abusive, hitting and strangling us. They wanted to instill fear in the kids so we'd be too scared to disobey them.'

She added: 'I was having panic attacks and crying every single day. I was just so miserable. I felt like a prisoner and I hated life.' 

Three of her former classmates from Provo Canyon also appear in the documentary, making similar allegations, including the use of restraints and being force-fed medication. 

Hilton, who paved the way for the influencer generation, said she now feels a sense of relief and purpose coming forward with her story, which shines a light on the billion-dollar troubled teen industry, which she knows all too well. 

She said: 'I can't go to sleep at night knowing this is still happening to children and if I don't say anything, I don't know who will. I am figuring out ways to help and talk to survivors.'

'I am using my voice and my platform to speak up for all of the children who have not been heard or have not been believed, and for anyone who was too scared to say anything because they felt ashamed.'

'We are not the ones who should feel ashamed. These adults who are abusing children, and people who are manipulating families into putting children into these places where they are not safe, these are the ones who should feel ashamed.'

Hilton has also joined forces with the Breaking Code Silence movement aimed at supporting survivors and spreading awareness about the troubled teen industry. 

In addition to releasing her 28th fragrance, 19th product line and a third hotel property, the savvy businesswoman says she also has a new album coming out and is investing into a variety of new tech products.

Oregon Governor Seeks More Federal Help As Wildfires Burn In U.S. West

Oregon's governor is seeking additional federal assistance as her state battles the deadly wildfires sweeping the western United States, and local residents pitched in on Tuesday to help the many people displaced by the blazes.

  • Last Updated: September 15, 2020, 9:48 PM IST

Oregon’s governor is seeking additional federal assistance as her state battles the deadly wildfires sweeping the western United States, and local residents pitched in on Tuesday to help the many people displaced by the blazes.

Dozens of wildfires have burned across some 4.5 million acres (1.8 million hectares) in California, Oregon and Washington state since August, ravaging several small towns, destroying thousands of homes and killing at least three dozen people.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown on Monday sent a letter to the White House requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration following the federal emergency declaration on Sept. 10. The request from the Democratic governor includes a call for additional communications resources, damage-assessment teams, search-and-rescue and debris management, as well as help with shelter and medical assistance.

“Firefighting resources became completely exhausted during this event, and because both California and Washington state are experiencing similar wildfire emergencies, Oregon’s requests for assistance from neighboring states were, for days, going unfilled,” the letter said, explaining the need for further federal resources.

On Monday, President Donald Trump, seeking re-election on Nov. 3, met with firefighters and officials in California. His Democratic challenger Joe Biden branded the Republican president a “climate arsonist” for refusing to acknowledge climate change’s role in the wildfires, while Trump said, “I don’t think science knows.”

Ten deaths have been confirmed during the past week in Oregon, the latest flashpoint in a larger summer outbreak of fires accompanied by lightning storms, heat waves and extreme winds.

The fires have put harmful levels of smoke and soot into the region’s air, painting skies with tones of orange and sepia even as local residents deal with another public health emergency in the coronavirus pandemic.

Cooler, moister weather and calmer winds over the weekend enabled firefighters to gain ground in efforts to outflank blazes that had burned largely unchecked last week. Thunderstorms forecast for later in the week could bring much-needed rain but also more lightning.

As disaster teams scoured the ruins of dwellings engulfed by flames amid chaotic evacuations last week, Oregon’s emergency management authorities said they had yet to account for 22 people reported missing in the fires.

‘A TOTAL BLESSING’

Tens of thousands of displaced residents across the Pacific Northwest continued to adjust to life as evacuees, many of them living out of their cars in parking lots. In some communities, local residents have pitched in to help people displaced by the fires.

Marcus Welch, a food service director and youth soccer coach in the southwestern Oregon city of Phoenix, said he has been helping a group of local high school students run a community donation center to assist a mostly Latino local population whose mobile homes were burned to the ground. About 600 people have come by to pick up donations, Welch added.

The high school students, whose homes were spared from the Almeda Fire, started handing out water bottles in the parking lot of a local Home Depot store last Wednesday and Thursday, Welch said.

“Every day, I hear a sad story. Every day, I hear a family displaced. People are crying because high school kids are giving them food, water. … It’s been a total blessing,” Welch said. “Some people, they lost everything, so we encourage them to take everything they can.”

At least 25 people have perished in California wildfires since mid-August, and one death has been confirmed in Washington state. More than 6,200 homes and other structures have been lost, according to figures from all three states.

Reinforcing local law enforcement resources strained by the disaster, Oregon is deploying as many as 1,000 National Guard troops to fire-stricken communities.
