Bengaluru, May 6 (UNI) Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Thursday favoured Maharashtra-like lockdown in Karnataka, where Covid-19 cases touched the 50,000-mark, the highest single-day tally yesterday.
Speaking to newspersons here, he said 'Given the present situation, there's a need to think about it seriously,' Gowda said, on the imposition of a full lockdown.
'Because of a full lockdown in Maharashtra, cases in Mumbai have come down from 10,000 to 2,000. The Supreme Court has also observed that Mumbai-type lockdowns should be done in different parts of the country where cases are more,' Gowda pointed out.
