It is widely allegedly that those involved in checking passengers at Lakhanpur are adopting a casual approach. Instead of properly checking all entrants to J&K, these officials are allegedly taking bribes from people to enter the UT without proper checking or negative Covid certificates. Reliable sources told The Early Times that many officers and influential persons were using their influence to get entry of people in J&K through Lakhanpur without proper screening and testing. After a surge in positive cases during the last 15 days, no proper screening was going on at Lakhanpur from where influential managed their entry without screening but common people were facing hardship. Amid such reports, Mission Director NHM, J&K Choudhary Mohammad Yasin conducted an extensive tour of Lakhanpur along with Deputy Commissioner Kathua, Rahul Yadav. He took stock of the Covid-19 measures, especially screening and testing of inbound passengers. It was also decided that for proper testing of passengers including truckers stamping of the persons and necessary COVID-19 protocols need to be followed for which reorientation of the staff deployed for testing at Lakhanpur shall be conducted by the Chief Medical Officer. For passengers coming by train at Kathua, directions were issued for enhancing RT-PCR testing.
