30th Jan: India had the first case of COVID 19

31st Jan: Commerce Ministry Bans Export of PPEs, masks, Ventilators & other medical equipment

Feb 8th & Feb 25th: Surprisingly, in a U-turn, Govt relaxed the ban allowing exports of PPEs, Ventilators and masks? WHY?
27th Feb: WHO Advisory to countries alerting shortage & advising for stockpiling of PPEs!

13th March: WHO Declared COVID-19 Pandemic

19th March: India finally bans PPE exports

24th March: India Bans export of Ventilators!

Exports continued despite alerts of the crisis!
Even Now: Export for various materials for PPE continues.

Even Now: Doctors are facing acute shortage of protective gears, PPEs!

Why did Modi govt wait till 19th and 24th March to declare ban on exports of PPEs, masks and ventilators?
Why this criminal delay of critical 2 months in the midst of Covid pandemic?
Who will answer for this shocking negligence?

Didn't this delay and lack of PPEs, masks expose our doctors, nurses and health care staffs to the dangers of infection?
Shouldn't the Govt be held squarely responsible for this monumental lapse?

Soldiers can't fight a war without weapons and safety. Similarly Doctors can't fight Covid pandemic without Protection, PPE, Masks, Gloves and Ventilators
