Warning: Shoot At Sight Might Be Implemented If People Fail To Obey Lockdown Order

According to K Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana Chief Minister, if people do not comply with the lockdown rules implemented in the state, he will order shoot at sight to make sure that the situation does not slip out of hands.

KCR said that if people did not listen to the police, a curfew and a shoot at sight order would be implemented. If then there are still people refusing to comply, the army would be deployed.

This announcement was made after KCR called for an emergency meeting with police officials and senior bureaucrats to discuss the situation. Telangana has seen 36 people fell victim to CO.VID-19 as of Tuesday.

He announced that none of these cases were critical and one of them would be discharged on April 7.

He asked people not to step out of the house and if they had an emergency, dial 100. On Monday, the police requested people to go back inside but from Tuesday, lathis will be used.

He also warned vendors not to hike prices at this sensitive time. If anyone commits this act, they would be considered traitors and taken into custody under the Preventive Detention Act.

According to KCR, the next few days were vital in stopping the spread of CO.VID-19. The three new cases in the state have traveled to the U.K, Saudi Arabia, and Germany. All of them are now in hospitals in stable health condition.

The Telangana Chief Minister said that it was a global problem and people should cooperate with the authority to contain the disease. The situation is under control, for now, so India must work to keep it that way at all cost, even going down to a shoot at sight order.
