The High Court also issued a set of instructions and asked for a full report from the Telangana government.

The Telangana government was given a two-day ultimatum by the High Court to decide on a lockdown to tackle rising Covid. "Within 48 hours, the government must decide on a lockdown or curfew, otherwise the court shall issue orders," the High Court said. The High Court also issued a set of instructions and asked for a full report from the Telangana government. Telangana recorded 4,009 cases and 14 deaths in the last 24 hours. The High Court described the affidavit filed by the state government on Covid-related petitions "wishy washy and disappointing" and questioned whether the state was vying for the position of "Covid topper" in the country.
