New Delhi: In an online meeting on Sunday, April 25, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath asked senior administrative and police officials to âcrack downâ on hospitals that discharge patients on the grounds of a shortage of oxygen or âcomplainâ about shortages to the media.Â
After this meeting, Prashant Kumar, the state’s additional director general of police (law and order), issued a letter to all police officials in Uttar Pradesh which said that âmisleadingâ social media posts related to the COVID-19 situation in the state must be penalised.Â
