AIADMK failed to protect people: MLA

Coimbatore: The AIADMK government has failed to protect the public from Covid-19 pandemic, DMK MLA N Karthik said here on Saturday.
The number of people infected by the virus and deaths have been increasing rapidly in the district, he told reporters. “Close to 500 cases are being reported for the last few days. Experts have also predicted an increase in the number of affected people. It shows how the ruling party has failed to protect people from the pandemic and how it lacks proper planning.”
Citing a Twitter post of state municipal administration minister S P Velumani, Karthik said the city corporation had directed commercial establishments to test employees once in 15 days. “In the present situation, when the businesses are affected due to the pandemic, how can they afford to do the tests? What kind of support the government is extending to them?”
