Ramaswami: Throughout the course of fighting SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, Kerala has experienced many constraints while also gaining new knowledge. We have tried to share them with the central government, by means of letter addressed to the prime minister, health minister, finance minister, external affairs minister and so on. A key aspect is that with the limited resources available to state governments, it is a herculean task to tackle a pandemic of such gargantuan proportions. Without allocating more resources to the states, this fight cannot be won comprehensively. Accordingly raising the borrowing limit of states, reducing the interest rate, allowing for advance borrowing, allowing for a hike in work days and wages under NREGS, roping in PSUs for the production of medicines and other essential items like masks and sanitisers, increasing testing facilities, providing more medical equipment, flexibility in utilising DRFs and so on are some of the measures the central government needs to implement on a priority basis.
