New delhi date. Thursday, May 6, 2021

At a time when the second wave of Corona is wreaking havoc in India, the question is whether the Indian government is considering a complete lockdown. No such possibility has been ruled out by the Union Ministry of Health. VK Paul, a member of the policy commission, told a press conference on Wednesday that the option of a national lockdown was being discussed.

His statement is also important because VK Paul is the head of the National Covid-19 Task Force. "Advisory has been issued on the current situation," he said. At the same time, if we talk about sanctions, if there is a need for strict sanctions, there is always a discussion on the option, the decision that will be needed in these circumstances will be taken.

During the press conference, a member of the policy commission said that state governments have already been advised to impose district-wise sanctions based on a positivity rate of more than 10 per cent depending on the local situation. While many states have already taken steps like lockdown, curfew, night curfew, weekend lockdown, a complete lockdown is also being discussed. Many states like Maharashtra, Kerala, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh have restrictions.

Demand for a complete lockdown

A national lockdown has been demanded by experts in addition to political forces for the past few days in the wake of the second wave of Corona. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has also demanded a complete lockdown.

Third wave warning

The country is currently facing a second wave of corona, with experts warning of a third wave. The Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government of India said that it was certain that a third wave of Corona would strike India. Under these circumstances, if the pole of the country's health system is opened during the second wave, then the question is how to deal with the third wave.
