Work stalls in govt offices as Covid cases rise

While exact data is unavailable, president of the State Government Employees’ Association K Shadakshri reckons about 50-100 employees have succumbed to Covid-19 and another 15,000-20,000 are either fighting the infection or have recovered from it. This has hit functioning of offices hard since only 50-60% of the 5.4 lakh government employees in Karnataka are working.
