On the recommendation of the Monitoring Committee, has the High Court asked for a 15-day lockdown in view of Corona’s growing case? But the way the government has been continuously taking decisions regarding unlock for some time, it does not seem that it will return to lockdown.

Official sources believe that instead of lockdown, the entire focus of the government will be to make its fight against Corona more swift and effective.

The High Court has set up district level monitoring committees on separate PILs. The monitoring committee of Dehradun recommends a 15-day lockdown.

More or less, one of the main reasons is the unprecedented increase in cases of corona infection. The court has also asked the government whether a 15-day lockdown is possible? But the government does not see any intention to lockdown.

In the unlocked five, where the government has now allowed public transport from one state to another, the tourists have been validated in hotels and homestay without a negative report.

Apart from this, devotees have been given many discounts in the Chardham Yatra also, by these steps, it is clear that the government will not step back now. However, from the secretariat to government offices, officer employees are suffering from corona infection. But the government does not want any interruption between the slowly returning system and the economy.

Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat says the court’s instruction has not been received yet, so I have not been able to read. But now efforts are being made to normalize the situation by giving concessions gradually. Our effort is to go towards unlocking, strengthening the battle of Kovid. This statement of CM makes SOP of unlocking five.

The SOP, released on Thursday, has given an exemption to increase the number of people attending school-college, swimming pool, cinema hall, and public, social, cultural programs from 100 to 200 with some conditions. It is clear that the government now intends to open everything in a controlled manner, not a lockdown.
