New delhi date. Monday, April 19, 2021

The situation in the country is deteriorating due to the Corona and many states have imposed sanctions such as mini lockdowns or night curfews. But given the kind of situation that is being created, there is once again the risk of a national lockdown. In this regard, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Center has now given the go-ahead to the states to take decisions on sanctions, with the state governments taking decisions on their own.

According to Amit Shah, for the last 3 months, he has given the right to impose sanctions to the states as the situation is not the same in every state. In these circumstances, the state governments will have to decide according to their own situation. Amit Shah said that when the first lockdown was felt, the health infrastructure in the country was very weak. Earlier there were not many facilities including beds, testing, oxygen. However, now many preparations have been made with the help of the Center and the states. To fight the Corona, each state will have to make its own decisions according to its position and the central government will help them.

What said about Aquarius

Union Minister Amit Shah said that for Kumbh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has spoken to the saints and asked them to keep Kumbh symbolic. About 12 out of 13 arenas have announced the end of Aquarius on their behalf. Now the number of people is also declining. Corona has spread rapidly in states where the influx of immigrants is high. Even in states where there is no Aquarius or elections, Corona's numbers are rising rapidly and are the highest in the country.
