New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told reporters on Tuesday at Thyagaraj Stadium at the launch ceremony of the Delhi Education Song that the government has no plans to impose a punishment for not wearing face masks in Delhi (Delhi Shiksha Geet).
Mr Sisodia said, “We need to learn to live with Covid-19 as it will stay longer; we will take strict actions if the cases spike more.”
“As of now, there is no need to panic as there are lower counts in the cases, and a meeting has been scheduled with the experts and the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on April 20, for knowing how do they see the ongoing Covid-19 situation,” he added.
Alok Srivastava composed the education anthem for the Delhi government, which was sung by Shaan and Sneha Shankar. This is Delhi’s first-ever education song, meant to promote the importance of education for society’s well-being.
Addressing the launch ceremony, Mr Sisodia said, “Everything that is written in the 68-page New Education Policy, we have mentioned in our song. The song contains the dreams that any parent would see for their child.”
He further said, “We intend to do something more than just fancy school buildings and great results. We want the children and their parents to listen to the song every morning so that they get to know the real idea and intention behind the song.”
