The government should impose a lockdown for another 20 days, former Karnataka chief minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy said this morning as he linked the rise in coronavirus cases in India to the ease in restrictions. An immediate shutdown should also be announced in Karnataka, "especially for Bengaluru", the 60-year-old leader said, adding that "Bengaluru will become another Brazil" if stricter restrictions are not put in place.
