Jammu, MAY 20: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla on Wednesday hailed UT Administration for conditional relaxation saying that relaxation was the dire need of the hour to halt the emerging poverty and deprivation of the people. He said Govt's first and foremost priority should remain protecting the life and health of people of J&K and must be fully aware of the emerging unemployment and deprivation of people owing to lockdown. Phase wise and conditional relaxation in lockdown will not only enable the people to earn their bread and butter themselves but also ensure the implementation of preventive measures against coronavirus, he added.He urged all those who have been given relaxation to fully abide by the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and not only enforce them on themselves but also generalize the same. "They should not entertain any customer coming without a face mask, hand gloves and making rush or congestion", he appealed. Bhalla stressed upon the people to look into and take their responsibilities with regard to lessen the risks and chances of spreading coronavirus and take healthy benefit from the relaxation given by the government. They must wash their hands and sanitize them before going out, wear a face mask and plastic hand gloves, avoid making the crowd and keep a safe distance from others to ensure safety. He also advised the traders not to entertain those customers who do not take care of preventive measures. If people do not observe safety measure, the virus could be spread and the government will have no option but to enforce lockdown again, he concluded.
Former Minister meantime continued distributing Ration and other necessary items among needy and poor families of Gandhi Nagar Constituency on Wednesday. In this regard, he on Wednesday distributed food packets at Marble Market Trikuta Nagar .Necessary steps must be taken immediately to ensure that the people stranded inside their houses do not face any hardship. The government machinery and general public must cooperate with each other during this crucial period. Most importantly, the administration must ensure that people are not exploited and fleeced by shopkeepers by creating artificial scarcity of essential items. The government must handle hoarders strictly, Bhalla added.
Each one of us should contribute our bit towards fighting the coronavirus by just staying at home. We, as individuals, should understand the intensity and direness of this situation we are in. each one of us should contribute our bit towards fighting the coronavirus by just staying at home.
