While the city of Bengaluru reported almost 5,000 new cases of COVID-19 in the most recent 24-hour data, rivalling Delhi and amounting to around half as many as Mumbai, the Karnataka government on Thursday insisted that it is ready to tackle the rising numbers.
Health and Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar, who held a meeting with the city s municipal body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and district chiefs of Bengaluru Urban and Rural and other officials, announced a strategy to handle the surge at the election booth level. We have more than 1.20 crore people (in Bengaluru). The density is too huge. That is why we have a different strategy to contain the pandemic in Bengaluru. So, we are establishing over 8,500 booth-level task force committees, he said.
