Mr. Arvind Kejriwal,
CM, Delhi
Subject: Our 10 basic suggestions ..... Though its the Right time to show your Guts and Charisma, Please do not opt for the Herd Immunity, else Delhi will become a real hell with dead bodies all over, as the Peak of coronavirus is being expected very soon.
Dear Sir,
Delhi is now in the grip of covid19, coronavirus, pandemic, a Notified Disaster while the Essential Services Act is already activated. As per the news reports, the situation is likely to be worsened in the coming days. The peak of the positive Corona cases is expected anytime in May, June, and July. With over 7,998 Positive cases to date, just don't think that it's the right time to restrict the commercial activities in the containment zones only.
In fact, it is the right time to show your guts and charisma, to re-build a Modern Delhi, with all the features of a Hitech city. Our basic suggestions are as below:
1. Please recall the old phrase slow and steady wins the race. Please don't be in a hurry to open anything and everything on the 18th of May. As per Dr. Randeep Guleria, the situation is likely to worsen in the coming days. Therefore, Delhi Government must plan for the gradual relaxations only, else it will be solely responsible if the situation worsens in the city.
2. Economic pressures are definitely there, but the Elder Son of Delhi must also care for the precious lives of Delhiites. A little haste at this crucial period, in our city, with a huge population, may become a real hell as visible in Iran, Italy, and the USA, with the stink of dead bodies all over.
3. Economic activities must be opened, but step by step and face to face interactions must be avoided altogether, to maintain Social distancing. So better opt the Video calling, digital payments to finalize the orders, with door delivery mechanism all over the city, to stop the spread of coronavirus.
4. Must stop the face to face interaction at the Liquor shops too immediately. Online orders, digital payments, and door delivery mechanisms must be applied here too, else they will not only be contributing to the economy but also to the spread of coronavirus in the city, in a greater way.
5. There is a severe shortage of Medical Facilities in Government hospitals. Therefore, Delhi Government must temporarily acquire all the Private hospitals, with instructions to treat the COVID19 patients, on No Profit No Loss Basis, only. These corporates can't be allowed to make fortunes by charging huge sums, at the time of a severe pandemic. For years they have earned huge profits and it's time to return back to the community. However, Delhi Govt may provide them PPE kits, masks, gloves, medicines, etc.
6. Must consider the technique applied by Maharashtra Government to offer 100% Free Treatment at Private Hospitals too. It will give a big relief to the residents of Delhi and probably it is the right time to show your charisma. If Maharashtra can do it by introducing the Mahatma Jyotibha Phule Health Insurance Scheme for all the residents, why Delhi can't bring a similar scheme? Please note, almost daily we get the distressing messages that Beds are not available at Delhi Govt Hospitals. If such is the situation at 8K positive cases, what will happen if the cases are multiplied many a time? Must improve the health facilities in Delhi with immediate effect else it will become a Ghost city soon.
7. Testing of #COVID19 has also become a big headache. Govt facilities don't allow free testing of people with no symptoms. While even for the Non-COVID issues, such as free dialysis at charitable hospitals for poor patients, or a regular dental checkup, etc. requires a covid19 test report from Private Labs at Rs 4,500 each time. Must look into it immediately and all the COVID19 tests at the Private Labs must be absolutely Free and can be compensated from the excess 70% collections of Taxes on Liquor.
8. Delhiites very well understand the gravity of the situation. Delhiites want to stand in your support. But please don't hide the truth about the number of positive cases, location of positive cases, number of deaths, location of Isolated cases, availability of health services, etc. as Delhiites just want to know the truth and the reality, to make up the mind and prepare for the situation. It sounds strange that while the number of Positive cases rising day by day, the number of containment zones coming down.
9. Please order the regular Thermal screening of all the Shop owners, Staff, Vegetable and Fruit vendors, Milk and Newspaper vendors, Plumbers, Electricians, Rikshaw pullers, Cab drivers, Petrol pumps, Gas stations, etc. and all those who decide to visit the markets, instead of doing the digital transactions. Suitable Sanitization in a proper way & not just as a formality must be carried on in all the localities regularly. You must take the services of MCD in this regard to check and contain the coronavirus in Delhi.
10. RWAs of Delhi are doing selfless service for the society, since last many years. But the Delhi Government has never supported them. Just have regular interactions with the Positive minds of the RWA community as we have great ideas for the city. We must stand together at least at this critical juncture to save our city. RWAs can also be involved in the Monitoring of various Activities of different agencies.
The entire Delhi is sitting at home with an eye towards Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, with a hope, that he will prove की दिल्ली वालों को कोरोना वायरस के साथ नहीं जीना पड़ेगा बल्कि दिल्ली को अरविन्द केजरीवाल के साथ चैन और सकूं की जिंदगी मिलेगी. Please do not opt for the Herd Immunity, else Delhi will become a real hell with dead bodies all over, as the Peak of #coronavirus is being expected very soon.
