SHILLONG: Opposition MLA, Zenith Sangma asked the state government to ensure that the officers and the paramedical staff deployed at entry points to check inter-state movements of people should be well-equipped with PPE kits to ensure their safety and prevent further spread of the virus.
Sangma also suggested that the government should immediately establish make shift testing centres for specifically testing suspected COVID-19 carriers or any individual for such purpose.
However, Sangma pointed out that it should not be done in any regular hospital, as there are many patients who are being treated for different diseases other than COVID-19.
Sangma informed that he had witnessed overcrowding in SBI at Ampati and Garobadha which could be the same in other banks in state due to the DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) from PM’s Jan Dhan Yojana and MGNREGA.
“Even today it is reported to be the same with more than 1000 customers overcrowding in banks’, he said. “We may make cash payment through Block and VECs, which will mitigate the risk by reducing the crowd to a great extent and people should wear mask during such exercise,” he added.
