Coronavirus cases hit a record in India as pilgrims gather for Kumbh Festival
Pointing out towards the incident of the Kumbh Festival after which the COVID-19 cases have been breaking a record on daily basis in India, Pakistan’s investigative journalist Mubasher Lucman wants the government to take sensible steps keeping in mind the safety and health of students.
In this regard, Mubasher Lucman also released a video on Sunday on his official YouTube channel.

In his video, Lucman said that the health of the students should be more concerning for our authorities. Government should consider the fact that almost every household is being affected by the pandemic during its third wave.
Meanwhile, a strict lockdown has been imposed in major cities of Pakistan, educational institutes have been shut down and local exams have also been cancelled.
Under such dire circumstances, the government is being reckless and it feels like they have taken it upon themselves to conduct the Cambridge exams in Pakistan this year.
Lucman urges Prime Minister Imran Khan and the governing body to rethink their decision regarding the exams.
It is to be noted that earlier young singer Asim Azhar, famous actress Mehwish Hayat, actors Agha Ali and Feroze Khan and YouTuber Waqar Zaka have also demanded the government to cancel the examinations.
