All India Congress Committee (AICC) national spokesperson Sravan Dasoju on Saturday appealed to the Telangana and Central governments to adopt the 'Mumbai Model' for Covid-19 management, by setting up task forces at the ward, Municipal Corporation and state level so as to curb Covid-19 spread.

Speaking to ANI, Dosaju said that despite the Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai explaining for several days how the city curtailed the spread of the virus, both the state and Central governments have not adopted the model to save the lives of people. "Iqbal Singh Chahal, the Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai, for several days now has been explaining the way they overcame and curtailed the spread of the Corona in a large city like Mumbai. Despite this, both the Telangana and Indian Government have not taken any steps to persuade and implement it across the state or country," Dosaju said.
