Increasing lockdowns could be economically disastrous and lead to medical crisis: Anand Mahindra

New Delhi, Monday 25 May 2020

Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra today issued a statement against increasing the lockdown. He has directly stated that increasing the lockdown is not only financially disastrous,

But it is creating another medical crisis. However, with his statement on Monday, he also said that policy makers do not have easy options, but increasing the lockdown will not help.

Anand Mahindra has again given its opinion on the lockdown extension via Twitter. "Increasing the lockdown is not only financially disastrous, as I said in my first tweet," he said.

But it leads to another medical crisis. To this end, he cited an article, "The Dangerous Psychological Effects of Lockdown and the Great Fear of Ignoring Non-Cowid Patients." Mahindra, which has proposed a massive removal after a 49-day lockdown, also said, "Policymakers do not have easy options, but increasing the lockdown will not help."

"The number (corona virus) will increase and in such a situation the field should focus on hospital bed and expansion of the oxygen line. The army has good skills in this," he said. Let me tell you that Mahindra had made such suggestions on May 22 before announcing the nationwide lockdown.

While the country was worried about reaching the third stage of the corona virus. Let us know that the number of infected cases in India has been increasing rapidly in the last few days and more than 1.38 lakh patients have been infected and the death toll has crossed 4,000. However, the number of people recovering from this has also crossed 57 thousand, which is a great relief.
