High Court makes Corona test report mandatory at Kumbh
Corona virus cases are continuously increasing in the country. In such a situation, its effect is also seen on Haridwar Kumbh. The Uttarakhand High Court has directed that it will be necessary to show negative reports of RT-PCR test to all the people coming to Kumbh. The High Court condemned Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat’s decision in which he allowed people without corona test to visit Kumbh.
The Uttarakhand High Court, while hearing a PIL filed regarding Kumbh Mela, has directed that the guidelines issued by the central and state government should be strictly followed. Apart from this, the court says that people who have been vaccinated can get exemption if they show their certificate. It will be mandatory for everyone else to get the test done and have a negative report.
Kumbh Mela has started in Uttarakhand this month. Former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat mandated RT-PCR negative report for people coming to Kumbh. However, the new Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat overturned the decision of the former CM and said that there would be no requirement of Corona test in Kumbh. His decision was strongly condemned. At the same time, the Health Ministry team, which went to the Uttarakhand from the Center, had warned and talked about the negligence of the rules.
