Work with all sections to tackle pandemic, bench tells U.P. govt
The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday said those in power in Uttar Pradesh “must shun the attitude of ‘my way or no way’ and welcome suggestions from all the quarters” while dealing with the pandemic. The court’s observation came while acknowledging that the government alone cannot fight the pandemic and needs the cooperation of people and active participation of various NGOs. A division bench of Justices Ajit Kumar and Siddhartha Varma also took judicial notice of a report which said that 135 teachers, Shiksha Mitras and investigators, who were assigned election duty in the ongoing panchayat polls had turned positive and died.More Related News
