Bengaluru: 'Decision in two days, lockdown may be inevitable' – CM Yediyurappa


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP/DV)

Bengaluru, May 7: Karnataka chief minister (CM) B S Yediyurappa, stated that enforcing the lockdown in the state may be inevitable in the coming days in an effort to regulate spread of coronavirus infection. By saying so, he dropped hints of a possible lockdown announcement in a couple of days in Karnataka.

It is observed that the 14-day Janata curfew imposed in the state from the end of the previous month has not been fruitful and coronavirus infection is going out of control. People are worried about the infection that is spreading fast to newer territory. There has been pressure from various quarters on the government to declare lockdown in order to bring down the incidence of the disease and the deaths caused out of it.

Addressing the media representatives in the city on Friday May 7, Yediyurappa said that the second corona wave has been sweeping the state extensively. He observed that the people have not been extending wholehearted cooperation to the Janata curfew by following the guidelines. Therefore, he said, stricter measures would have to be imposed to get some good result. He said that discussions with officials and experts about the desirability of imposition of lockdown would be held today and tomorrow before taking a decision in two days.

The CM visited Goddess Annamma temple today and offered Puja. He said he has prayed to the Goddess to see that the country gets rid of the corona pandemic at the earliest, and the citizens are able to lead a happy life. He asserted that without the support of the people, the government cannot do anything on its own.

"The people have to cooperate with us. In order to drive the disease away, people have to wear masks, maintain social distance, lay stress on hygiene and cleanliness and follow other rules," he narrated.

The CM asked people not to come to the residence of the chief minister or Vidhana Soudha citing hospital problems. “I do not say that they are wrong in doing so. We are always ready to work for the people. As soon as the officials learn that the people have problems, they respond and take remedial steps to mitigate the problems. Therefore, it is important that the people bring their problems to the notice of the officials," he stated.

Lockdown from May 10 to 25, say television reports

Karnataka government is likely to impose a complete lockdown from May 10 till May 25 to contain the spread and surge of the Covid pandemic, as per the reports of a state television channel.

A partial lockdown is in force in Karnataka from the night of April 27 till May 12, which restricts people's free movement, while essential shops, including liquor vends, remain open between 6 am and 12 noon.

CM Yediyurappa will hold Covid-19 review meeting on Friday evening in Bengaluru with ministers and top officials in the government. It is also said that during the lockdown government may allow essential services and medical services.

    Doctors have treated Sars, Mers and other viral diseases without these RTPCR tests all these years before. Need to stop this RTPCR tests to end pandemic first of all RTPCR Tests seems many false positive and negative also. And it may detect covid 19 and past, present future corona viruses (common cold and seasonal flu ) as positive raising fear of virus. Finally people may die fear of virus than real virus. Most deaths are looks like due to lack of required medical assistance for serious and critical patients as mild and medium infections choke medical infrastructure. For creating this medical chaos and people to go for vaccination this communists and global elite' this evil agenda and to rake businesss out of It. These Big billionaires dont bother about common man's health but they are concerned only about business. Also these RTPCR aids shutdowns that is what these communist chinese want to break economies. They have made billions selling all these years cheap rate items which goes for garbage after two three weeks. Now these communists chinese want to collapse other nations economy and to bring them under their control. That's their evil agenda.

    @ John Mangalore Since 2018 Chinese govt was secretly involved in manufacturing biological weapon corona through bats to be used in world war three. If you understand how it works & Infect.someone accidentally leaks the virus from lab & china immediately seals whole nation, executed all 8 doctors & covered up whilst building a large makeshift hospital as we saw in news. Modi could have blocked all international flights immediately..when several countries did so. but he didn't some keralites working in China arrived in india. But it was too late to act. it's only then international flights were blocked. Mistake 2 - collected funds for ram mandir could have been used to build makeshift hospitals with oxygen facilities in case of second wave. So a country equipped with nuclear weapons & space program could not provide proper health infrastructure during pandemic relying on foreign aids.

    This is well planned conspiracy by western left leaning globalist elites and (technology given to chinese) communists to control the world. First wave, second wave, vaccinations in line Spanish flu to fool even learned and medical fraternity, including these RTPCR tests mainly to push vaccines without numbers or stats it is not possible to hype fear. Although not severe but affects elderly with comorbidities. But because of fear of deaths people or these RTPCR tests drive mild, medium and severe to hospital choking medical infra. That's why this evil RTPCR tests need to removed so only serious cases gets priority treatment. As these tests may detect positive past, present, future coronaviruses or common cold and seasonal flu 21,22...etc. Mild and medium cases need to be treated at clinics so these doctors can refer priority cases to hospitals. God has allowed this pandemic to unmask real ruthless face of communism.

    They don't have a list Dev. This government is poor on data. They have no data, no statistics, no backup plans, no monitoring...Nothing. I am not surprised that they don't have data for the reason that they just don't care how many people starve, how many die, how many businesses close, how many go under poverty.

    These people have amassed a fortune which will last for many generations and they don't know what's the suffering of people. Prepare a list of all the people who lost their earnings due to unscientific lockdown measures which always have failed and will fail this time too as they are unscientific. First credit our accounts and then impose Tughlak measures for a viral infection that isn't going to end soon and is only just like common cold made into a monster by media and WHO to reset world order.

    Waah Yeddy ji, Waah Waah!!! Your govt and police were sleeping when Covid guidelines were being openly flouted , which is the sole reason that led to the spread. Hell, your own irresponsible MLAs were requesting for large gathering permissions. Now with no idea what to do and being responsible for this mess, you fellows are back at doing what you do best - put further hardships on people.

    They were not sleeping , but busy buying MLAs, holding them in Bombay to topple govt and paid them with looting money from Raghavendara Bank and many such private banks. Yeddi wasn’t even allowed to form his cabinet unless his masters in delhi approve and after all that they're busy with sex CD. Poor fellow he doesn’t have much say

    If it it necessary kindly impose lockdown but kindly provide essentiial food to each and every house of karnataka without discrimating poor and rich. All are effected and losed job, business etc. Please instruct police not to use force if in case they find any one on the road. First let them ask where they are going why they come out. No one wants to risk their life unless and until they have emergency work.
