How the Kerala government took care of its people during the pandemic was a narrative that ran throughout the Governor’s policy address at the opening of the Budget session of the 15th State Legislative Assembly here on Friday.
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said that Kerala, by tapping its inherent strengths — a strong local self government system and people’s participation — and with the cooperation of all departments like Revenue and Police, had successfully withstood the onslaught of the pandemic .
He claimed that the State had succeeded in keeping the death rate down in the third wave of the pandemic, just as it had on the two previous occasions.
