CM says ‘fourth wave is less serious’, exhorts Centre to allow mass vaccination
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the Delhi government is not planning to impose any lockdown in the Capital. He said the “fourth wave” of COVID-19 was “less serious” than others before it. If needed, Mr. Kejriwal said, the government would consider a lockdown only “after due consultation with the public” even as he sought to urge the Central government to open up the vaccination process for everyone instead of keeping it restricted to specific age groups due to the rising number of cases. “India is witnessing a rise in cases. Delhi, too, is witnessing a surge. As I have always said Delhi has encountered the worst COVID situation, this is the fourth wave for the city. For the country, this might be the second wave but Delhi is encountering the fourth peak,” he told at a digital briefing after an emergency meeting at his residence to assess the situation.
