People to be Blamed

       What is worrying the authorities is the indifferent and negligent attitude of the people in observing simple precautionary measures to check the spread of corona.  Even as people are suffering and dying due to the pandemic and  guidelines are repeatedly issued by the authorities,  people are moving freely without masks and flocking to market and other places where people gather.

       More than three lakh corona cases are registered every day in the country  and the death toll reached 1,92.911 on Saturday.  The pandemic is creating havoc in almost all the States,  including the two Telugu states.  Despite all this,  the people are not bothered to observe effective precautionary measures to stop the spread of the disease and stay safe.
