High Court directs Uttar Pradesh government - Consider complete lockdown in most affected cities

New delhi date. 13 April 2021, Tuesday

In the wake of the growing case of corona in Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High Court has directed the state government to consider implementing a complete lockdown for two to three weeks in the affected areas. A bench of Justices Siddharth Verma and Ajit Kumar issued the order and directed that a temporary hospital be set up in the open ground to facilitate the treatment of patients.

The court said staff would be appointed on contract if needed. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 19. At the same time, the Health Secretary has sought an affidavit from the Health Secretary in this regard. The High Court said that not a single person appears on the road without a mask, otherwise the court will take contempt action against the police. The court said no more than 50 people gather inside religious, social events. Night curfew is a very small step to stop Karona. When the river floods, small dams cannot stop it.

We have to take strict action to stop Corona. The High Court said that control over unnecessary traffic during the day is necessary. If there is life, the economy will stagnate. Development is for individuals. What will development mean when there are no human beings?
