Haryana  CM appealed to the farmers that they should withdraw their movement as a humanitarian time

Chandigarh, April 15 – Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal said that due to increasing Corona cases in the country and the state, we have to take strict precautions. Last year, economic activity stalled due to the lockdown, which took about 6 months to get back on track. Therefore, we have to keep in mind that the economic cycle should continue in the state and no one can even die.

The Chief Minister was presiding over a meeting called to review Kovid-19 cases and vaccinations here in Haryana today. Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Dushyant Chautala was also present in the meeting while Health and Home Minister Mr. Anil Vij connected through video conferencing.

The Chief Minister said that we also have to take care of what is unavoidable and what can be avoided. He said that this time the expansion of Corona has started from educational institutions, so there is a need to be more vigilant. We also need to reduce congestion in public ceremonies etc. Therefore, it has been decided that from now on, 200 people will not be able to gather in open in public function and more than 50 in indoor. Similarly, no more than 20 people will be able to attend the funeral. He instructed all the Deputy Commissioners that by issuing advisory in the districts, the time of night-time wedding ceremonies should be changed to day. Apart from this, the programs of Navratras should also be held in the day instead of night.

 Manohar Lal said that it is the constitutional right of every person to agitate and we have no opposition from those who agitate. But every work has its time. At this time, due to corona, life may become a crisis, so this is not the right time to agitate. The Chief Minister appealed to the farmers that they should withdraw their movement as a humanitarian time. If they have to hold or protest for any of their demands, then these can be done even if the situation is fine. He also instructed the Deputy Commissioners to contact agitating farmers and try to persuade them. He appealed to the people of the state to leave their homes whenever necessary and to follow the mask, sanitizer and social distancing whenever they get out of the house. He said that there is proper arrangement of oxygen, ventilators and beds in the state. So people need not panic.

The Chief Minister said that in a meeting held with the Governors of various states yesterday, Prime Minister  Narendra Modi has spoken about activating the Red Cross. Similarly, we should also include volunteers, ex-servicemen and able youth in the task of dealing with Korana. He said that the Prime Minister has talked about taking contact tracing to 30. Recently, due to the way the speed of the corona has increased, contact tracing is extremely important. The district administration should plan at its level to deal with the situation and also appeal with strictness because often the appeal has more effect than strictness. He instructed the officials that all the meetings should be held online or through webinars so that people can reduce their traffic.

 Manohar Lal said that now the time for procurement is going on. Therefore, the number of procurement centers should be increased so that the crop is procured at the earliest and there is no congestion. He instructed the Deputy Commissioners to establish procurement centers in rice mills, schools and sheds etc. for the next 10-12 days. The Chief Minister said that offtake is decreasing in many districts. He gave strict instructions to the Deputy Commissioners of Sonepat, Panipat, Hisar, Jind, Sirsa, Dadri, Fatehabad, Gurugram and Palwal districts and said that rain is expected to occur on the coming Saturday, so the lifting should be done as soon as possible. There should not be any loss to farmers, jobbers or the government.

Home and Health Minister Anil Vij said that there are two ways to prevent corona from spreading. The first method is lockdown and the second is strictness. We want the situation to be dealt with vigorously instead of lockdown in the state. He said that we can withstand resentment of people by acting vigorously but cannot see people dying. This time the corona is hyperactive. Last year, it was gradually increased, but this time it is a matter of serious concern that about five and a half thousand cases are reported in a single day. So we have to create container and micro containment zones. Manage additional beds. Beds can also be installed in schools, Dharamshalas if needed.

He said that regular monitoring should be made by the Deputy Commissioner Monitoring Committee. Expressing concern over the black marketing of Remedishvir, he said that for this, checking should be done by putting drugs teams. At such a time, strict action should be taken against such people who have a desire to earn money. He instructed that people living in home isolation must go home and check them at least once in two days. For this, an app has been created. Mr. Vij said that last time he had asked people in every district and this time also a reality check would be done.
