New Delhi, Apr 9: Kerala opposition coalition United Democratic Front on Thursday submitted a roadmap to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for staggered lifting of ongoing lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic.
The coalition led by leader of opposition Ramesh Chennithala has given a set of recommendations to Modi in this regard, which include those made by an expert committee headed by deputy leader of opposition M K Muneer.
The committee was set up to suggest measures to be taken by the government for smooth transition from lockdown to normalcy.
It listed an eight-point exit strategy for removing lockdown in a staggered approach at a district level, with emphasis on hotspots to avoid further spread of virus and ensure smooth restart of economy.
This approach is tuned to the unique needs of each district and all the districts should also be categorised as per their risk levels, the report said.
The report has also been submitted to chief ministers of all states, former prime minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi among others.
The committee recommended that COVID-19 rapid testing must be enhanced across the country and the testing target be widened to 500 tests per one lakh population.
"A step-by-step approach is necessary for each sector along with conditions that need to be considered for each sector," the report said.
"There is a need for a comprehensive economic stimulus package in addition to the ones already announced after considering all the industries," it added.
