Chennai: DMK president M K Stalin, also the Leader of the Opposition in the Tamilnadu Assembly, has said Chennai was becoming a ‘pandemic capital’ and asked the government to act quickly to arrest the spike.
“Rather than doing lip service that we have the lowest mortality rate, show keenness in implementation’ of measures to tackle the virus spread,” he said in a Facebook page.
“At least act now to contain Chennai from becoming the pandemic capital. Government
hospitals in the city are struggling due to lack of beds. What happened to the government announcement on converting marriage halls and educational institutions’ into COVID-19 facilities,?” he asked.
While Tamilnadu was among the worst affected States, the Chief Minister offered no
constructive solutions to contain the spread of the virus or protecting people whose livelihoods have been affected, he said.
