Delhi Chief Minister CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal has said that the decision to implement a nation-wide lockdown announced by the Prime Minister is absolutely necessary. If we do not abide by the lockdown, we are exposing our nation to the risk of the COVID-19 outbreak as we have observed in other nations.
Addressing a digital conference CM Kejriwal announced that 568 schools across the city have been converted into food centers to supply food to the needy. He urged the people leaving the city to stay back, since arrangements for food and shelters have been made for them. He also said that people need to learn from the situations arising in other nations, migrating in huge groups will expose them to the risk of contacting COVID-19.
He urged the people who are leaving the city to stay back. He said, "We have been witnessing through media and social media that people are leaving the city to go back to their villages. We are trying everything to stop them. I have talked to the MLAs, who are visiting their constituencies and appealing to such people to stay in Delhi, and that we are arranging for food and shelter for them.
He further added that we have been able to stop some of them, but all of the others are worried about their future as they think it is going to be a long process. I want to appeal to them again that the Delhi government has made all arrangements for you and we are trying our best to help you."
