AP Govt to Sue 2 Media Houses For Defamation, Fake News Jun 29, 2021, 08:17 IST Amaravati: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy objected to the baseless reports published by a section of media and said that they were written with jealousy, as the State is being applauded for effectively controlling Covid-19. During a review meeting on Covid here on Monday, the Chief Minister said that the stories were written in such a way to create panic among the people and stated that legal action must be taken on the two media houses. He said that a publication had highlighted that patients died due to lack of oxygen in Ashram Hospital, but in reality, medical oxygen is abundant in the state. The articles are completely baseless, written with a mischievous mindset, without any humanity. He said that people would have believed it if this was written during peak situations, but now the cases were declining, registering an average positivity rate of less than five per cent. In the current scenario, over 70 per cent of oxygen beds and ventilators are available in the state.
