Chief Minister said the law will take its course in case of the violations of the SOPs of the coronavirus prevention.
He regretted that the opposition was not realizing its national obligations during the coronavirus epidemic.
“Protecting the masses from the virus is the need of the hour rather than holding public gatherings,” he said and added that the government was making serious efforts for preventing the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic from spreading in the country but the rejected elements were busy in doing “Jalsa politics.”
