The Hindu
When the government brought in relaxations, some took advantage; the deaths of people have raised question marks over the future of their families, the CM said at an all-party panel on Saturday
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday said the present circumstances have made it inevitable for the Tamil Nadu government to extend the COVID-19 lockdown -- due to end on the morning of May 24 -- without any relaxations. Addressing a consultative panel of all-party leaders at the Secretariat, he said the medical experts team, with whom he had a meeting earlier, without any relaxations. “During my tour in the districts I received similar views,” he said. Mr. Stalin said when the government brought in some relaxations, some people had taken advantage of them and treated the lockdown as a holiday and were roaming around the roads and streets.More Related News
