Stone-pelting on medical team in UP continues

Lucknow ,April 15(HS)People in western part of Uttar Pradesh do not seem to have learnt any lesson from Indore in Madhya Pradesh which has been declared the cleanest city in the coutry for the fourth time in a row.

Some ill-informed persons in the city pelted stone on the medcal team to prevent that from entering certain areas.Thus,a delay was caused in the medical check-up.The result was that more than 30 persons died of Covid-19.Many more infected by Corona virus are still being treated.

People in many other parts of the country have not repeated the mistake,but Moradabad in UP is an exception.According to the latest Corona report received here on Wednesday,either being not aware of Indore developments or because of some other reasons,a good many persons in the UP city pelted stones on the medical team which was escorted by some police men.

Some of the members of the team and police men have been injured in the incident.Like Indore the team had gone there for a medical check-up.

One person had died there of the disease and his close relatives were suspected to be Corona positive.The team wanted to examine them and isolate the positive cases.It was not allowed to do so.

The state government which has a zero-tolerance for such people has asked for identifying these persons and booking them under the National Security Act.

The job has been taken by the police in right earnest.Additional force has been deployed in the area.
