Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Senator A. Rehman Malik has written a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan urging him to impose limited army curfew from July 15th to August without any further delay for the implementation of anti-coronavirus SOPs and other necessary precautionary measures.
Once again, he has urged Prime Minister to call All Parties Conference (APC) to work out a collective roadmap to deal with COVID19 and Economy as we are suffering heavily because of the COVID19 and our legislative work is almost gone zero because of social distancing because of the SOPs given by WHO for COVID19.
In his letter to PM Imran Khan, Senator A. Rehman Malik has recommended ten important measures to be taken immediately both by federal and provincial governments that included: To impose army curfew for enforcement of anti-coronavirus SOPs without further delay. To declare Health emergency for the months of July, August, and September, 2020.
Promulgate Emergency Laws, that punish the hoarders, counterfeiters, black-marketers of medicines, medical equipment, over-charging of medical treatment linked with COVID-19, and daily commodities; and they should be tried summarily and punished. The TV channels should be instructed to give news of the persons arrested and punished for these emergency based crimes.
To enhance the capacity of treatment of COVID-19 patients by building temporary coronavirus treatment centers as month of August is likely to be hard.
