He as even with total closure for 10 days in the post Eid the death toll has crossed 12 on a daily basis.
” Lockdown is a joke, people move from one place to another without interruption They can come and go, this is not a lockdown, but it is a confusing torment,” he said adding that administration should now come forward with a new plan.
