The chief minister said though “we have no COVID-19 active case in the state now people should keep vigil all the time.”
“We should keep vigil all the time and understand it is a long battle against the deadly disease,” he said, while speaking during COVID-19 distribution kits to the chief medical officers of different districts at the secretariat here.
The chief minister also stressed on extra vigil along Indo-Myanmar border areas and directed DGP LM Khaute to reinforce police checkpoints at various areas particularly those at Churachandpur district as it is vulnerable.
