Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has expressed concern over the spurt in Covid cases and objected to the government’s order to farmers to not grow paddy on lands leased from panchayats.

He said the Covid infection in Haryana appeared to be under control, but with 56 more persons testing positive on Sunday, the situation couldn’t be considered normal. “The Chief Minister should allow relaxations in lockdown only after reviewing the current situation and consider the concerns of Health Minister Anil Vij,” he said. “The threat of Covid has neither been eradicated nor reduced. Therefore, the government should focus on maximum testing and creating awareness.” — TNS
