Bengaluru, April 20 : Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Janata Dal-Secular leader H. D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday recommended the state government impose a statewide lockdown to contain the surge of Covid-19 cases. A lockdown should be announced immediately as it has become inevitable now, he said while attending the all-party meeting from his room in a private hospital here.
Kumaraswmay added that night curfew would not help in curtailing the spread of the infection. Bengaluru and large towns like Kalaburagi, Mysuru, Tumakuru, Bidar, and others need to go to lockdown now. We should also prohibit inter-state travel from neighbouring states. Most of our border districts have reported a surge because of this, he said.
