Dr. Balram Bhargava, Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), has said that in districts of the country where the corona infection rate is more than 10%, the lockdown should be extended for 6 to 8 weeks. Only then can this deadly epidemic be controlled.

 

This is the first statement made by a top central government official in support of a strict and prolonged lockdown. He cited the example of Delhi, where the infection rate was once more than 35% and now it has come down to 17%. However, the central government seems to be avoiding a lockdown in the entire country.

 

Kashmir increased restrictions

In Jammu and Kashmir, restrictions have been imposed in several areas like Corona curfew in other districts including Srinagar, a day after the gathering of people before Eid. Security forces have sealed vital routes and have installed barriers in the city and other district headquarters. Markets are closed and public transport is prohibited here. On Tuesday, there was a heavy traffic jam in many parts of the market including Lal Chowk in Srinagar due to the huge crowd in the market. There was a curfew in 11 districts on 29 April and will remain in force till 17 May.
