Itanagar:Twelve check gate quarantine facilities management committees have been formed in Arunachal Pradesh to monitor the overall working of the designated entry points to the state and the quarantine facilities available there, an official said.
The committees would be headed by a cabinet minister with MLAs as members, he said. As many as 12 check gates are operational with quarantine centres to facilitate institutional quarantine of people who were stranded outside the state because of the nationwide lockdown and are now returning to Arunachal Pradesh.
Taking to Twitter, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said that due to risk of coronavirus transmission through potential carriers coming from outside the state, the 12 check gates along the Assam-Arunachal border have been made operational while the rest have been closed.
To help the local administration in better coordination and management of the designated entry gates and the quarantine centres developed there, deputy chief minister, other ministers and all MLAs have volunteered their service, Khandu said.
“In such testing time, its extremely joyful to see such spirit of Team Arunachal exhibited in fight against #COVID19. My thanks to all my colleagues. We always stand together in this fight!” Khandu tweeted. (PTI)
