Needed: Health Emergency In Telangana!

The steep rise in the number of Coronavirus positive cases in Telangana has been a cause of worry to the government as well as common people.

While the K Chandrasekhar Rao government appears to have left it to the fate of the people, the opposition parties are attacking the government for its indifferent attitude.

On Saturday, Telangana Congress party demanded that demanded that the state government impose Health Emergency in Hyderabad and adjacent districts like Ranga Reddy and Medchal with high number of Coronavirus cases.

“There has been a huge increase in the number of Covid-19 positive cases in Telangana State, especially in the GHMC limits, Ranga Reddy and Medchal districts in the last 15 days,” former minister and ex-Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir said.

He pointed out that as on May 31, there were 2,792 Covid-19 positive cases in Telangana State while the death toll was 88. On June 19, the positive cases increased to 6,526 and the death toll reached 198.

“It means cases and deaths have increased by more than double in the last 19 days. A total of 3,734 new cases and 110 deaths were recorded from 1st June till Friday. This is extremely alarming and terrifying,” Shabbir Ali said.

Many experts have already expressed fear that the infection might increase further.

“Almost 13% of 50,569 samples tested so far were found Covid-19 positive. With the State Government conducting another 50,000 tests in the next 8-10 days, the positive cases might witness a huge jump. The tests being conducted by ICMR-approved private labs will further add to the overall number of positive cases. Therefore, the State Government should declare Health Emergency in Hyderabad and surrounding districts for a specified period to deal with the situation,” he demanded.
