| BJP leaders violate COVID protocols, pay no heed towards CS’s directions | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 3: While authorities in J&K are worried about testing fresh COVID cases from outside containment zones, the ruling BJP is behaving irresponsibly by organizing meetings of more than 25 people, and that too without wearing masks.
The Chief Secretary has directed all Deputy Commissioners to take strict action against those who would be found involved in violating COVID protocols.
Today BJP workers and leaders openly violated COVID Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) but no action has been taken so far against those who brazenly indulged in violating all norms.
BJP in its official hand out confirmed that Danish Mishra, a prominent businessman and eminent social worker along with hundreds of supporters joined BJP in the presence of J&K BJP President Ravinder Raina at BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

On Thursday only, Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta had directed the authorities to redevise the strategy to prevent the possible third wave and reiterated the continuance of the campaign for awareness generation towards prevention of possible third wave in Jammu and Kashmir.
Within hours after the directions of the Chief Secretary, BJP organized a joining function in which COVID protocols go for a toss as the majority of the participants were without the mask.
Even J&K president of BJP, Ravinder Raina, who was dancing to the beats of dhools, was not wearing mask, and was seen mingling with new entrants in the party.
Important to mention that Chief Secretary on Thursday observed that the current strategy for micro-containment zones needs to be reviewed to ensure its effectiveness and restriction of outward movement from clusters having a substantial number of COVID positive cases. He further expressed concern regarding a large number of cases being reported outside containment zones. It was directed that COVID SOPs and protocols must be strictly enforced in these zones supported by enhanced testing, fool-proof quarantine of patients, and stringent penalties on defaulters.
The Chief Secretary directed the department to evolve vaccination strategies that would be most effective in reducing the number of cases per day.
He urged the enforcement agencies to adopt a graded-penalty mechanism to penalize repetitive defaulters and offenders and work out mechanisms in collaboration with various market associations, trade associations and employee associations to best implement such a system. |
