HC: We make it clear that we will not tolerate any paperwork or public announcements to show account of the steps taken and its sufficiency as it is now an open secret that government had gone complacent due to weakening of virus impact by the end of 2020 in the state. #COVID19

HC: The government got more involved in other activities including Panchayat elections. Had it been constantly vigilant, it would have prepared itself to face the onslaught of the pandemic in its second wave. #COVID19

HC: Posterity would never forgive us if we remain oblivious to the real public health issues and let the people die for want of adequate health care.

HC: Those in power must shun the attitude of 'My Way or no way' and should welcome suggestions from all the quarters.
