DMK president M.K. Stalin on Wednesday expressed his condolences to the family of an under-secretary rank official, working with Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, who died after testing positive for COVID-19.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Stalin said the government should ensure the safety of all employees and officers working in government offices across the State.
The DMK president also demanded that the government provide a proper answer as to why Chennai’s epicurve has declined suddenly, an issue raised by Prabhdeep Kaur of the National Institute of Epidemiology (ICMR). “It is very important to take note of this point and the government should function with full transparency on tackling COVID-19,” he said.
He also demanded that the government make adequate safety precautions for all front-line workers and provide them with all the necessary protective gear to prevent them from contracting the virus.
