He said that states like Punjab, Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are contributing most of the COVID cases in the country.
"I think that the time has come when the government should take some stern action and I hope that we should be able to curtail it," he said.
Nayar also vouched for the COVID-19 vaccination and said that people should not believe false information circulating on Whatsapp.
He said that minor problems may occur after taking the shot but the vaccines are completely safe.
