New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI): Amid concerns of a third wave of COVID-19 in the country Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called a high-level review meeting at 12 noon today.
According to Chief Minister s Office (CMO), Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Health Minister Satyendar Jain and Chief Secretary will also be present in the meeting.

Senior AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday defended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal s comments about a new COVID strain in Singapore that is very dangerous for children and accused the BJP and its government of doing cheap politics over the issue. The statements and reactions of the BJP and Centre show that they are concerned about their image in Singapore and not about the children in India, Sisodia charged in a press conference. Kejriwal talked of Singapore strain and the children. The issue is not Singapore but children, he said. Sisodia was referring to Kejriwal s tweet on Tuesday demanding that the Centre cancel all air services with Singapore, saying a COVID strain there was very dangerous for children.
