HYDERABAD : Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the ongoing lockdown, that has been imposed to contain covid-19 pandemic, should only continue in the ‘red zone’ clusters that have been identified in the state.
On Saturday, 24 more people were found infected with the virus in AP, taking the total cases in the state to 405. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s opinion on the extension of the lockdown was made during a video conference with Modi.
Maintaining that he would pay heed to the centre’s advice on the issue, the chief minister, however, put forth his opinion keeping in mind the economic impact of the lockdown on AP.
