India saw a record single-day spike of 1,84,372 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, according to the figures released by Union Health Ministry. Meanwhile, lakhs of people congregated at the ghats of Haridwar to take a holy dip in the Ganga during the third 'Shahi Snan' of the Kumbh Mela. Over 13.5 lakh people, including sadhus from 13 akhadas, took a dip in the Ganga by the end of a day.
Top ophthalmologist Dr Parul Sharma joined India Today's special show Newstoday with Rajdeep Sardesai to discuss on the issue.
"Allowing such large public gatherings is naivety, is a mockery, is complete disrespect to medical fraternity, to frontline workers. Apart from Covid-19 appropriate behaviour, what we need is Covid appropriate governance," she said.
