With the announcement of more relaxations by the government of Jammu and Kashmir in Jammu district, former Member Legislative Council (MLC), Ch. Vikram Randhawa has asked people to not go out unnecessarily as the risk of infection is not over.
While distributing ration, sanitizers and masks among the people at various places of Gandhi Nagar assembly segment which includes Rajiv Nagar, Bhour Camp Ward No 2, Bhour Kothey, Gadi Garh, Rati Sararhi and Doongian Randhawa urged upon the people to not venture out until and unless it is necessary. He said that the risk of infection of novel coronavirus is not over but providing relaxation was the compulsion of the administration. He said that it is now the duty of all of us to maintain social distancing while going out. He also urged people to wear masks and wash hands regularly to defeat coronavirus.
“The number of cases are regularly rising in other parts of India as well as in Jammu and Kashmir and in such circumstances prevention is the only cure as there is no vaccine available to treat coronavirus infected patients”, Randhawa added. He said that the two-months long lockdown must not go in vain with heavy footfall in the market places which raises the risk of infection.
Those who were provided ration, sanitizers and masks were asked to take pledge to help administration in fight against coronavirus. The people assured Randhawa that they will abide by the guidelines of the administration and expressed their gratitude for reaching out to them in the hour of crisis.
