Patna With Bihar reeling under the second wave of Covid-19, former BJP MLC Krishna Kumar Singh has demanded Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to impose a 15-day complete lockdown across the State.
Singh said that people in Bihar are turning out in large numbers to attend marriage parties. "They were seen travelling between villages unperturbed triggering surge in virus transmission across the State," he said.
"The State government has enforced evening curfew, which is good, but it will not help in containing the Covid spread. There are not enough security checks in rural areas. Hence, despite Section 144 being imposed in the State, people were seen roaming from one village to another in groups to attend marriage functions," the former BJP MLC said.
