#BREAKING#UttarakhandHighCourt
This a developing story.
Court proceedings started10.15am sharp. Court yo resume post lunch at 3pm. #HighCourt tears into affidavit filed by state govt. Calls it misleading and deliberate.
Tells Health Secretary that govt affdavit is hiding information fm court of law. Affidavit isn't worthy consideration even for a Munsif Court and here you are presenting a High Court with rosy lies. You may be doing this to please your political masters but Court is not sarisfied
High Court directions to ramp up Health Infra in the State as far back as 2018 still not complied. State is lucky that it has escaped contempt so far. Please don't test our patience, Court will holdyou accountable now on. You can be tried for contempt.
High Court categorically cites #Kumbh as #superspreader of virus across country and deep into hill pockets. Court observes that despite warning of experts and request of High Court, the state govt conducted #Kumbh in a very irresponsible manner. You have pushed us into abyss.

Health Secretary submits/admits that Centre has allocated 123MT of daily quota of O2 for state which is insufficient.Though we're O2 producing state we're deficit of O2. Centre has increased quota by 60MT but we're told to collect it fm Jharkhand and WB
Chief Justice observes that good health infra is the basis of #goodgovernance, which is missing in the state for past 20 years. State has not done anything about it despite warnings and Court's directions. Observes state is #RamBahrose (राम भरोसे)
Just to #recapitulate #HighCourt began the day with appreciation for doctors and allied staff. Also appreciated able govt officers. Then observed that enough is not being done by State and exhorted the state to wake up from slumber.
Chief Justice questioned the acumen of the person whi has drafted the government affidavit and called it very very vague and bundle of misinformation and misleading, painting a picture that govt is doing enough and everything is rosy. CJ disputes the contents of govt's submission
