As the State administration is yet to decide on the extension of lockdown beyond May 24, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday urged the government to extend it by one month while providing relief to those who have lost their livelihood. “If the lockdown is not extended, the State could witness a bigger disaster. Do not play with the lives of people,” the former Chief Minister said in Bengaluru. Further, he said: “It is not sufficient to declare a lockdown. The government should announce a special package for daily wage workers and the poor, among others.”More Related News
