No question of lockdown in Karnataka: CM Yediyurappa.
Ruling out the possibility of a lockdown in Karnataka to contain the spread of coronavirus pandemic, state Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday said he has convened an all-party meeting on April 18 to decide the future course of action.
"There is no question of lockdown," Yediyurappa told PTI reporters in Karnataka's Bidar.
The CM clarified that the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has not recommended any lockdown.
"I am in the TAC. No one has recommended a lockdown," Yediyurappa said.
Besides former chief ministers Siddaramaiah and HD Kumaraswamy and Congress state chief DK Shivakumar, the members of Technical Advisory Committee members will attend the meeting on April 18.
