The court lambasted the government and said that the high number of the deaths due to Covid was due to incomplete preparation. The court also highlighted the fact that no Covid rules were followed during the Ganga Dussehra celebration at Har ki Paudi bathing ghats. No social distance, no mask, and no sanitation system were in place.”
