The Hindu
Consider its socio-economic impact, people are suffering, says V.D. Satheesan
The United Democratic Front (UDF) has asked the government to seriously consider the socio-economic damage inflicted by the 38-day-long lockdown in the State. “The people are suffering. With no jobs, they are finding it hard to survive. The government must reconsider continuing the lockdown,” said Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan at Panakkad near here on Monday. Mr. Satheesan was addressing the media along with the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leaders after visiting IUML national chairman and State president Sayed Hyderali Shihab Thangal at his house at Panakkad here. Mr. Satheesan said the government had offered several concessions to the people during the first lockdown in 2020 as it was before the elections. “Now the attitude is different. The government should consider the pathetic situation of the people,” he said, adding that the UDF would soon submit a memorandum to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
