Coronavirus: CM Mamata Announces Strict Lockdown Along Bengal's Border
CM Mamata Banerjee called for the strictest enforcement of the lockdown along Bengal’s borders to keep migrant workers out of the state.
She even directed the administration not to entertain requests from MLAs and MPs on this issue.
At the same time, she also took several steps to restore the supply of commodities.
She said that sweet shops will stay open four hours each day and kirana stores and home deliveries will be allowed to function as normal.
To cope with hospital bed shortage, each district has been asked to identify private hospitals, university campuses, and other centres for use as isolation wards for fever patients.
