Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal imposed a lockdown in Delhi for the next six days eyeing a massive surge in Covid-19 cases as the lockdown will start tonight at 10 pm and last till 6 am next Monday. Delhi records more than 20000 cases 3rd day in a row. In the last 24 hours, Delhi records 25462 fresh covid-19 cases whereas 161 lost their life due to the Pandemic.
CM Kejriwal and LG Anil Baijal together constitute a
meeting and decide to impose the lockdown to control the situation which is
getting worsen day by day. The shortage in healthcare facilities in the Capital
causes lockdown to be imposed so that the government can get some time to heal
their healthcare situation.
The lockdown is only treated to prevent the flow of the Virus, I didn’t favor lockdown because it causes unemployment and triggers poverty said Kejriwal. He further requested the migrant laborers not to leave Delhi in the Pandemic as the lockdown will only last for a week and the central government is also contributing help to Delhi in lending the several healthcare facilities.
Earlier, Kejriwal said that the central government is not
cooperating with them as they diverted the oxygen supply for Delhi to other
states in reply to this allegation the central government said that Kejriwal is
politicizing the situation as the government allotted an equal number of stocks
of oxygen to all states.
Thus, the situation of the country is getting worsen day
by day as the country records 273810 cases and 1619 deceased in the last 24
hours. The Central and the state government are trying hard to eliminate the
spread of the Virus by imposing weekend curfews or by imposing section 144 to
prevent the public gathering. Some serious steps needed to be taken as the
nation recording a huge number of cases.
