Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court again urged the Uttar Pradesh government to impose a statewide lockdown for two weeks to check the sharp rise in COVID-19 cases.
While hearing a suo moto case on the COVID situation in Uttar Pradesh, Justice Siddhart Varma-led bench said, “I again request, if things are not in control then impose a two-week lockdown. Please suggest it to your policy makers. It is blowing out of proportion, that is the first thing it seems.”
“There is a shortage of doctors, there is a shortage of staff, oxygen, there is no L1, L2. Everything is good on paper, but the fact is that there is shortage. With folded hands, we request you to exercise your discretion,” Justice Varma added.
This is the second time the high court requested the UP government to consider a complete lockdown in the most affected districts.
