Jammu, May 18: Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked the officers to curb black marketing of essential commodities as well as medicines at this unprecedented time.
Interacting with field officials from states and districts regarding their experience in handling the Covid pandemic, the Prime Minister said the convenience of the people increases when information of bed availability and vaccine availability is easily made available. In the same way, black marketing should be curbed and strict action should be taken against those who do so. The Prime Minister asked the officials to compile the best practices and innovative steps so that these may be used in other districts of the country. The Prime Minister appreciated the dedication and perseverance shown by the nation’s healthcare workers, frontline workers, and administrators during these difficult times, and urged them to continue working with similar vigour moving forward. The Prime Minister said that every district in the country is equally different and has its own unique challenges. He said to the district officials, “You understand the challenges of your district much better. So when your district wins, the country wins. When your district beats Corona, the country defeats Corona.” He commended the officials who were working without taking any leave in spite of contracting COVID-19. He added that they are an inspiration to many and he understands the sacrifices made by them.
The Prime Minister said that all the officials have a very important role in this war against Corona like a field commander of this war. He remarked that Local containment zones, aggressive testing, and correct & complete information to the people are the weapons against the virus. At this time, the number of corona infections is decreasing in some states as well as increasing in several other states. So he stressed the need to be more vigilant in the face of decreasing infections. He emphasized that the fight is to save every single life and the focus should be in rural and inaccessible areas. He requested the officials to make the relief material easily accessible for the rural population. |
