Amid talks about extending the lockdown in Karnataka as the state battles the second wave of COVID-19, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Monday told the government that it should be pro bono, where economic and food relief to the needy is taken care of.
Noting that lockdown is a step towards saving lives, but livelihood should also be taken care of, Kumaraswamy in a series of tweets, accused the Centre of leaving the responsibility of announcing the lockdown on the state and washing its hands off, as it would have to provide relief to the people if such announcements are made.

KEYNOTES: COVID-19 food relief program to scale down
Rosemary Rimkus
Organized in March 2020, when COVID-19-related restrictions first appeared, the Food Relief program at First United Methodist Church continues to serve Hudson families. Hudson resident Stacey Hartford, who has spearheaded the yearlong program, said Food Relief began with two drive-up and delivery events weekly. As of April 16, food delivery will be curtailed to the third Friday of each month.
Hartford said the program was introduced for families who, under pandemic rules, could no longer go the store, and families whose income was reduced. She added that since many have received the COVID vaccine, and meals are available for children in school, the once-a-month delivery has been put in place.
