Lok Sabha member D.K. Suresh of the Congress has asked the State government to conduct a proper audit of deaths reported due to COVID-19 in the State. The number of deaths reported by the government was lower than the actual figures, he alleged. Mr. Suresh addressed the media after leading a protest against increasing fuel prices in Hassan on Friday. Many people died without undergoing a COVID-19 test and hundreds of people died at home without getting a bed in hospitals. In many cases, the death of COVID-19 patients had been recorded as natural deaths. “Many families would not get compensation from the government because of wrong reporting. The government should ensure all bereaved families get the compensation”, he said. On the row over KRS dam, Mr. Suresh said a technical team should inspect the dam and assess the situation. Protection of the dam should be the top priority of the government. “I will not react to the verbal duel between former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Mandya Lok Sabha member Sumalatha”, he said.More Related News
