Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], May 3 (ANI): Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday warned people against laxity in adherence to the curbs imposed in the state, stating that if the situation will not improve he would be forced to consider a complete lockdown in the state.
The Chief Minister said he had so far refrained from ordering a sweeping lockdown in the state because "it will hurt the poor the most and would lead to an exodus of migrant labourers, plunging industries into chaos again". However, if the people do not strictly comply with the restrictions in place, harsher steps might have to be taken, he added.
