Gandhinagar: P K Laheri, former chief secretary, government of Gujarat, and one of the key trustees of Somnath temple, has openly expressed concern over the worsening situation in Ahmedabad and state due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

In a social media post, Laheri said, “Gujarat, especially Ahmedabad, is a matter of great concern.

The situation, instead of improving, is deteriorating day by day. Coordination among public, NGOs, AMC (Both wings elected as well as officials) and the state government is the need of the hour. Sorry to say, but something is clearly missing. The CM should intervene immediately.”

Laheri had made this comment three days ago. On Tuesday, chief minister Vijay Rupani handed over the charge of overseeing the fight against the pandemic to IAS officer Rajiv Gupta and former city municipal commissioner Mukesh Kumar.

When contacted, Laheri said, “I decided to comment publicly as a citizen of Ahmedabad and as a former chief secretary. I felt that if the government would not take strict measures now, things would worsen further.’’ Laheri lives in Jodhpur area which has also registered several Covid-19 positive cases.
