Digital Desk: A responsible citizens of a nation always avoid crowds amid pandemic.The rising number of new Omicron is creating chaos among the nation's people. In such a scenario, major states of the nation have already imposed curbs for restricting the surge of coronavirus.
However, in a different picture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be well active with his foundation-laying programs and other inaugurations. Such programs displayed a huge number of individuals gathering at one place. Can this be a threat to the nation?
The government initiated events and programs have raised serious concerns for the nation's public. When states like Maharastra, Haryana, and West Bengal have already set restrictions to limit the third wave, the leaders still need to stop organizing programs for various purposes in the nation, including public gatherings.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is busy laying the foundation stone for major projects in Uttar Pradesh these days. West Bengal has already issued orders for mini lockdown. In such a scenario, PM Modi continued with his events and gatherings. These events and government initiatives are likely to turn into a hotspot for the spread of coronavirus.

The top political leaders are busy promoting their parties, including leaders from ruling and opposition parties. It seems like an election campaign in any form has become more important for the government than the safeguard of its people.
If you can recall the first and second waves of Covid-19, the election has played a vital role in its growth. The same scenario seems to repeat this time as well. There is a serious threat for the nation if such initiative by the very leaders continues.
Today, the foundation stone laying program of the Major Dhyan Chand Sports University in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, witnessed a huge gathering. On the one hand, government issues guidelines for people to follow protocols. On the other hand, the nation's leaders keep promoting their objectives and aim for winning voting banks.
Now, the question arises if the nation's people want to observe these inauguration schedules or follow the safety measures on their own? If people are not concerned about their own safety, the government ignores it. Therefore, it has become necessary for the nation's people to take their measures.
The new Omicron variant has once again introduced the world to the danger of the virus. If a situation in India only functions according to wining seats and status plans, coronavirus will sweep away more bodies this time.
It is time for the nation's leaders to understand the importance of taking measures to safeguard its people. Instead of inaugurating schemes physically, the virtual inauguration method should be introduced once again. If leaders fail to take the necessary steps to limit the virus, it will again bring chaos.
