Follow directives

Directives of the Election Commission of India for conduct of public meeting must be strictly adhered to, at a juncture where vulnerable States are struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemi impact.

The guidelines issued for the conduct of Assembly elections in Bihar ought to be adopted in Tamil Nadu, particularly with respect to extending postal ballot facility to electors with disabilities, people above the age of 80 years, those employed in notified essential services and those who are COVID-19 positive.

Use of face mask, sanitizer, thermal scanners, gloves, and face shield must be optimised and social distancing norms should be adhered to. Hand gloves must be provided to all electors for signing on the voter register and pressing the button in the electronic voting machines (EVM) for voting.

Re: Poverty, health, and covid-19

Dear Editor

COVID-19 and Discrimination

The number of COVID-19 cases are less in under developed countries than the developed nations.

COVID-19 does not discriminate in infecting people based on their economic status.

Countries with more hygienic behaviours are affected more by COVID-19 in the current COVID-19 Pandemic.

But during this Pandemic poor people are more affected because of less income due to economic recession.

So people with poverty are affected with many health issues along with the COVID-19 infection during this Pandemic.

COVID-19 is the cause for discrimination even after death, whether people are rich or poor during this Pandemic.
