(Chd,Pb)Capt Amarinder Govt Failed to Handle Pandemic: SAD
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday claimed that the Amarinder Singh government in Punjab had failed “miserably” in handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
Badal said the state has the highest fatality rate (2.95%) in the country and asked the chief minister to take stock of the situation on the ground.

“The Congress government’s strategy to counter COVID had been criticised by its own Health Advisor Dr K K Talwar, who had indicted the government for not tracing contacts of COVID cases in July and failure to manage micro-containment zones,” Badal said.
“Hospitals are facing a huge shortage of liquid oxygen with the demand going up to 100 metric tonnes against a supply of only 15 metric tonnes. Instead of raising this supply and ensuring oxygen supply to hospitals is put on the priority list, Capt Amarinder Singh is indulging in theatrics about the distribution of oximeters,” Badal added.
