Non-serious approach responsible for surge in cases: PRIs
Mohinder Verma
JAMMU, May 7: In a testimony of non-serious approach on the part of the Health and Medical Education Department and Rural Development Department, the Health Clubs which were announced to be set up at the Panchayat level across the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in order to check spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) to the rural areas have remained on official papers only despite the lapse of several months.
The slack approach has invited sharp criticism from the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), which have held the same responsible for reporting of large number of COVID-19 cases and resultant deaths from the villages during the second wave.
