Two weeks after theTelanganahigh court directed the government to createcontainment zonesin areas whereCovid-19 caseswere high, the Greater Hyderabad (GHMC) authorities said they have only identified hotspots and are sanitising for now.
The civic body had played a key role in maintaining containment zones, disinfecting localities, tracking contacts of Covid-19 patients to get them tested during the first wave, but residents and Health experts said it must do the same, if not more now.
The Telangana High Court expressed its displeasure over the state governments failure in handling second wave of Covid-19 in the state. The court directed it to publicise information on the micro-containment zones through media bulletins and include data of newly declared containment zones.
