Total lockdown not in 5 cities of UP: Supreme Court ban on a high court order, Yogi government will now impose weekend lockdown in the entire state


Posted on 20th Apr 2021 01:25 pm by rohit kumar

Lockdown will not be imposed in 5 cities of Uttar Pradesh including Lucknow. The Supreme Court has stayed the order of the Allahabad High Court. On Monday itself, the High Court had ordered a complete lockdown in Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Gorakhpur by April 26. The Yogi government filed a petition in the Supreme Court against this.

 

Meanwhile, once again the Yogi government has decided to impose a weekly lockdown across the state. Meaning, everything will be closed in the state every Saturday and Sunday. Only emergency facilities will continue. Until now only Sunday had a lockdown. Apart from this, in the districts where there are more than 500 active cases, every day, from 8 a.m. till 07 o'clock the next day, all other activities except the essential services will be banned.

 

UP government said- Lockdown is not right

 

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who is making arguments for the UP government, said that the state government has taken several steps. We have received some instructions and we do not object to this, but it will not be right to impose lockdown in 5 cities through a judicial order.

 

On this, the Chief Justice said that even the High Court has not said about the complete lockdown. This type of lockdown can cause administrative problems. In such a situation, an interim stay on the High Court's decision will stay. However, the UP government should tell the High Court within a week what steps it is taking.

 

More than 28 thousand patients found on Monday

 

The second wave of Karona is becoming uncontrollable in the state. The death toll is also increasing with new infections every day. On Monday, 28,211 new infections were identified in the state and 167 people died.

 

At the same time, Hanuman Mishra (Minister of State status), President of Uttar Pradesh Cooperative Union, died on Tuesday morning in PGI, Lucknow. He was Corona positive. It is being told that his kidney had failed during treatment. However, PGI has not yet released its official statement. Hanuman Mishra has been the General Secretary of the Kanpur-Bundelkhand region, State Minister of Vidyarthi Parishad.

 

Former MP Jagdish Rana also dies from Corona

Earlier in Saharanpur, BJP leader and former MP Jagdish Rana died on Monday night due to Corona. He was 67 years old. He was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Faridabad for 12 days.
