Union Minister Pralhad Joshi feels there is no need for weekend curfew as it is adversely impacting the economy. “It is true that we need tough rules to handle COVID-19, but we need to focus on the economy too. The present restrictions could be relaxed to improve the economy. This is my personal opinion. I have shared them with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai,” he said during the launch of vaccination for teenagers in Hubballi on January 18.
“Economic activities should continue, even as as vaccination is being taken up on a large scale and medical infrastructure is being upgraded. It is clear that there is no need for any lockdown. AT the same time, weekend curfew rules should be relaxed,’’ he told journalists.
