Learn from Dharavi, RVD tells government

HUBBALLI: The state government must learn about Covid management from Dharavi in Mumbai, the largest slum in Asia, where positive cases have reduced in recent days, said former minister RV Deshpande here on Tuesday.
“Covid-19 cases in the state are increasing due to negligence by the government and its unpreparedness. The government also failed to take care of Corona warriors,” he said.
He urged the state government to order a judicial inquiry into the allegations on irregularities in the purchase of PPE kits, masks, ventilators and other material to manage the Covid-19 situation. An inquiry by a sitting judge of the High Court would bring respect to the government, he said.
Attacking the government for issuing a legal notice to opposition leaders for making allegations on the misdeeds of the government, he released a book of corruption charges against the BS Yediyurappa-led government.
