Telangana State Health Minister Eatala Rajender said that the blocking of four roads by the local military authorities at the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC) centre "is not a solution" to controlling the spread of coronavirus.
The local military authorities at the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC) centre had blocked all four civilian roads -- Allahabad Gate, Wellington Road, Gough Road and Safilguda Railway Junction leading to the AOC centre after 10 COVID-19 cases were detected from the personnel lines.
"They should not have done that. You cannot assume that the coronavirus has affected this lane and not that one. I feel that Coronavirus will not stop unless it reaches every house and every village," Rajendra told .
He added, "We must take precautions to contain the spread of the virus but the closing of roads is not the solution."
As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Telangana reported a total of 15,394 COVID-19 cases, as of Tuesday.
