We all need to help each other in this crisis, says Jakhar
Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar has constituted a committee and would launch a control room at the party office here to ensure help reaches people affected by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hitting out at the Narendra Modi dispensation at the Centre, Mr. Jakhar alleged that the “callous, incompetent government has pushed the whole country into a grim medical and health emergency.” Punjab is among the worst-hit States in the second wave of the pandemic. On Saturday, it registered 7,041 fresh COVID-19 cases, the highest in a day, bringing the infection count to 3,77,990, while 138 more fatalities took the toll to 9,160. The number of active cases rose from 55,798 on Friday to 58,229.More Related News
