New Delhi [India], April 11 (ANI): Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's 'Operation SHIELD' prevented the spread of coronavirus in Dilshad Garden area of the city, said Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Friday.
"I feared a massive COVID-19 outbreak at Dilshad Garden area after seven people were found positive. It was transmitted from a woman who returned from Saudi Arabia and was found COVID-19 positive," Jain said.
"After seven people were found COVID-19 positive, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal instructed to implement 'Operation SHIELD' at Dilshad Garden. It was the first time the operation was implemented under which 123 medical teams screened more than 15,000 people living in 4,032 houses. Thousands of people were quarantined and tests were done," he said.
Sealing, home quarantine, isolation and tracking, essential supply, local sanitisation and door-to-door checking are the key aspects of Operation SHIELD.
The hard work of the health officials and the successful implementation of the operation made Dilshad Garden coronavirus-free, he added.
81 people who had come in touch with the lady were traced and quarantined. CCTV cameras were used to find out the movement of her son and the places or the people he visited.
Curfew has been imposed now in Dilshad Garden and Old Seemapuri areas. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
