Lockdown in Assam
Some reviews regarding lockdown period in Assam
Since the nationwide lockdown for 21 days was announced on
22nd March 2020 which is to end on 14th April 2020, it
was observed that-
Lockdown was not total in all places of the state of Assam,
probably due to negligent of few persons who was not acquainted with such situations
earlier.
There are some people who do not have the habit of staying
at home continuously. They always have the habit of going out of their homes at
least once.
There are some who intentionally want to defy the government
orders.
There are also some people who go out in search of food
items, medicines, etc.
Some people who are
addicted and have the habit of taking tobacco and alcohols also goes out in search
of it.
But it was seen that inspite of
the lockdown fresh cases of Covid-19 affected persons are on the rise. The rise
has been gradual and has been increasing every day and lockdown also is nearing
to end since today is 11th April and it was suppose to end on 14th
April 2020. The Prime Minister of our country is arranging a video conferencing
on 11th April with the Chief Ministers of the states to take
decision for extending the period of lockdown. States like Odisha, Punjab,
Rajasthan have already taken decision regarding extension of lockdown till 31st
April, 2020. I would also suggest that the period of lockdown in the state of
Assam is to be extended.
The sanitization programme as envisaged
by the state government is not good enough since all markets places, shopping
malls, public streets along with railings by the pavement etc. in every nook
and corner of the state are yet to be sanitized. The govt. should involved the concerned
persons from the concerned wards along with Municipal Corporation authorities
to execute the programme.
Moreover the govt. should take measures
in a ruthless way as set by Bhilwara district of Rajasthan which should be the
model for every district. The govt. should engaged medical and healthcare persons
to check each and every house in the state for Covid-19 cases and take
immediate measures if found to be positive and mass sanitization of public
places should be taken on a daily basis. I hope if such measures could be
chalked out then the state could get rid of Coronavirus.
India now occupies the top
position among the countries in containing coronavirus. The number of affected
persons, fresh cases of Covid-19, number of deaths are low as compared to other
countries. But things cannot be taken for granted. We can only be free from the
virus when no death or cases of affected persons are reporting.
Now the govt. has also launched an
app in the form of Aarogya Setu which can be downloaded and install from Google
Playstore wherein the user of this app. can be alerted previously if he
comes in contact with any coronavirus related persons. If such is the case and
he or she can previously take steps to quarantine himself or herself. I think
this app has something to do with detecting the Covid-19 cases and I therefore
suggest each and every persons to download and register themselves and thus
contribute to curtail the virus affecting persons to some extent.
