State Can’t Seal Borders: Min Ashwath | Hubballi News – Times of India

Belagavi: Defending the restrictions enforced across the state, Karnataka minister for higher education CN Ashwath Narayan on Wednesday said that the measures being taken to check the spread of Covid-19 were to avoid imposing a lockdown.
Narayan, who flagged off the ‘Bharat Tech 2022’ organised at Visvesvaraya Technological University, said the many precautionary measures that had been adopted were part of its strategy to prevent people from losing their livelihood. He added that the state did not have the authority to seal borders, and could only issue provisional orders on those entering Karnataka.
