Though the Central Government has extended the lockdown to contain Corona, it has also decided to ease the restrictions a bit in areas that have no known Covid 19 positive cases. This is intended mainly to kickstart some economic activity in the country.
However, Telangana CM KCR seems to have different ideas about the new guidelines issued by the Centre. These guidelines are to come into force from April 20. According to highly placed sources, KCR has decided not to implement these guidelines and implement the lockdown more strictly. He is said to be of the opinion that if any laxity is given at this stage, it would be counter productive. So, he wants to implement the lockdown more seriously even in non-containment areas.
The State Government is also unhappy at the non-inclusion of Suryapet in the containment zone. Despite the fact that it has recorded 20 new Crona positive cases, it has not been included. Hence KCR wants to implement lockdown rules to the T. If sources are to be believed, KCR is likely to issue a key statement on Friday in this respect.
