What were you doing for last 14 months without a plan to fight COVID-19 second wave, Madras HC asks Centre -Mohamed Imranullah S

Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee, in an observation, said there can’t be adhocism in dealing with a pandemic

Chief Justice of the Madras High Court Sanjib Banerjee on Thursday wondered what the Centre was doing for the last 12 to 14 months without anticipating the second wave of COVID-19 and getting prepared to face it. Referring to desperate measures being taken when the wave was at its peak now, he said there cannot be ad hocism in dealing with a pandemic. The Centre should have acted in a planned and informed manner after obtaining expert advice, he said.

The observations were made during the hearing of a suo motu public interest litigation petition taken up by the court to monitor the availability of hospital beds, medicines, vaccines, oxygen, and ventilators in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. The court had asked the Centre to respond on how it was helping the State and the Union Territory deal with the situation.
