"arvind-kejriwal"

Noting that the decision to impose lockdown was not an easy one, Kejriwal appealed to migrants in the city not to leave Delhi.

"Delhi is fast running out of beds, oxygen and the life-saving drug Remdesivir as Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours have reached 24,000 on Saturday," informed the CM

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal clarified that essential services like visiting hospitals, railway stations and airports will not be hampered.

Board Exams for Class 10th have been cancelled and 12th exams have been postponed, said the Union Ministry of Education on Wednesday.

The Central Board of Secondary Education can explore other methods, including online exams and promoting students on the basis of internal assessments, he said.

The positivity rate also mounted to 10.21 per cent, breaching the 10 per cent-mark for the first time this year.

"I believe lockdown is not a solution to deal with COVID-19. It should only be imposed if the hospital system collapses," he said.

He further said that Delhi is witnessing the fourth wave of coronavirus, adding that there is a need to speed up the vaccination process.

This comes after the Central Government on Friday stopped the doorstep delivery of ration under MMGGRY scheme of the Delhi Government, scheduled to be launched on March 25.

The Covishield vaccine was first administered to Kejriwal's parents, Govind Ram Kejriwal and Gita Devi, and then to the chief minister.

The AAP has made inroads into Gujarat's politics by winning 27 seats of Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC), one of the six cities where voting was held on Sunday.

It all started after 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi was arrested for allegedly editing the toolkit shared by Greta Thunberg.

The 21-year-old activist was arrested on Saturday from Bengaluru for being allegedly involved in sharing the "toolkit" related to the farmer's protest on social media.

He said that the Delhi government will henceforth procure electric vehicles for official use.

He said whoever is responsible for the violence on Tuesday should be acted against.

According to the Delhi Health Department as of Wednesday, Delhi reported 228 new COVID-19 cases, 405 recoveries, and 10 deaths.

Asking Kejriwal to have mercy on the farmers, she said it was strange that the Delhi CM had only suddenly discovered that farmers were sitting out in the open in cold wave conditions.

Kejriwal said UP has been held back from progress and development because of "dirty politics" and "corrupt" politicians in the state.

Thousands of farmers have been protesting on the outskirts of Delhi since late November 26 demanding the government to repeal the newly enacted farm laws.

Kejriwal had visited the Singhu border on Monday and reviewed facilities for farmers protesting against the agri marketing laws.
