Impose limited lockdown to take up vaccination drive: Naidu
The Hindu
‘State has failed to rise to the occasion’
TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has asked the government to consider imposing a “limited lockdown” for a week or 10 days in the State so as to take up massive vaccination drive. The lockdown could be withdrawn once satisfactory results were obtained, Mr. Naidu said while addressing the media virtually on Wednesday. Stating that Andhra Pradesh had earned the dubious distinction of being the State that was worst-hit during the second wave of COVID-19, Mr. Naidu said, “The lives of people are in a jeopardy. The system has derailed. It is becoming difficult for people to find place at burial grounds to perform the last rites of those who succumbed to the virus.”
