Ramalinga Reddy seeks to know what happened to relief intended for COVID-hit
KPCC working president and senior leader Ramalinga Reddy on Saturday alleged that the State Government had not been extending any support or service to lakhs of people who are infected with COVID-19 and are under home isolation.
More than 3.2 lakh people in the State, including 1.51 lakh people in Bengaluru city, were under home isolation following mild symptoms of COVID-19. The Government had provided neither health kits nor food kits for people under home isolation, he alleged.
At a press conference here, Mr. Reddy demanded that the Government provide health kits and free food items for two months to ensure the early recovery of infected persons. Though the COVID-19 third wave started many days ago, the Government had not made any arrangements for providing relief to the infected people, particularly those in the unorganised sector, he alleged.
