Arvind Kejriwal urges centre to stop Singapore Flights

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal raised concern about the new strain found in Singapore. The strain is proving dangerous to the children. While giving an argument that it has come as a third wave in India, he requested the centre to take immediate precautions. He also suggested that the flights should be cancelled to and from Singapore as soon as possible.

He tweeted in Hindi,”The new form of Corona that came to Singapore is being said to be extremely dangerous for children, in India it may come as a third wave. My appeal to the central government: 1. Air services with Singapore to be cancelled with immediate effect 2. Priority on vaccine options should be worked out for children too”.

सिंगापुर में आया कोरोना का नया रूप बच्चों के लिए बेहद ख़तरनाक बताया जा रहा है, भारत में ये तीसरी लहर के रूप में आ सकता है।

केंद्र सरकार से मेरी अपील:
1. सिंगापुर के साथ हवाई सेवाएं तत्काल प्रभाव से रद्द हों
2. बच्चों के लिए भी वैक्सीन के विकल्पों पर प्राथमिकता के आधार पर काम हो

Delhi Chief Minister’s tweet came in the middle of the concerns raised about the third wave of Corona. Many experts say that this is very likely to target the children. At the current time, the first and second wave has hit the elderly and the young at most.

The Principal Scientific Advisor of the government informed that a third wave in ‘inevitable’ and advised that the vaccines must be updated to deal with the new strains.
