Scale up testing and increase capacity of beds in govt. hospitals, says former U.T. Chief Minister
Former Puducherry Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy has appealed to workers of the Secular Democratic Progressive Alliance to be on guard at counting centres till May 2. “I am certain the people of the Union Territory have voted for those who they think will protect their rights. Workers of the alliance took the election as a challenge to prevent communal forces and parties, who have formed an alliance with the BJP, from coming to power. But the work is not over. People who have been assigned by candidates to be present at the counting centres have to be on guard. By following guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India, the agents of candidates must ensure that nothing wrong is done to the EVMs,” he said in an audio message on Wednesday night. Mr. Narayanasamy said only if the workers stayed alert, could the alliance win. Expressing concern at the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the Union Territory, the former Chief Minister said the administration should scale up testing and increase the capacity of beds in government hospitals.
