All directives will come from the Chief Secretary
In the light of multiple departments issuing directives on managing the pandemic, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has asked them to refrain from giving orders on their own. In a note to Ministers and departmental heads on Monday, the Chief Minister said all future decisions on declaring containment zones, restriction on gatherings and movement of people/ vehicles, activities that are to be permitted or banned, and other related issues should come from the Chief Secretary, who heads the State committee of the Disaster Management Cell in the Revenue Department.More Related News
