Opposition parties Nepali Congress and Janata Samajwadi Party-Nepal have flayed the government for failing to check the rise in the number of cases of the coronavirus pandemic.

Joint General Secretary of NC Prakash Sharan Mahat, who also heads the party’s COVID-19 response monitoring team, issued a press statement saying that the government had failed to adequately respond to the contagion.

He told THT that the government should make public its long-term and short-term plans to deal with the pandemic.
 
“The government does not have any plan to deal with the pandemic. One day the government lifts lockdown and after a few days it reimposes it,” Mahat said.

He added that lockdown and prohibitory orders were not a solution to the COV- ID-19 pandemic. He said people of the country wanted to know how the government was trying to fight the pandemic.

Mahat added that the government should ensure that COVID-19 patients were treated only at dedicated COVID-19 hospitals or else COVID-19 patients would die without getting admitted to hospitals.
