SRINAGAR, May 5: BJP spokesperson and Chairperson of Waqf Development Committee of Ministry of Minority Affairs, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today said “The present challenge of Corona Pandemic has posed a test to our patience and our perseverance to deal with the hostile situation”.
In a statement issued here she said “In J&K, we are dealing with it in an effective way now and with the cooperation of one and all, we can soon minimize the rate of spread of the virus and the count of mortalities too”. The Government decision of nominating senior civil services officers as the OSDs for assisting in Corona virus mitigation efforts is a welcome step,”she added.
She said that the un-precedential situation has also created panic in J&K as the huge increase in cases of infected persons and the un-imaginable count of deaths is a big worry for all of us. “Thank God, here in J&K we are still having the affordable medical facilities available for the infected people and our medical system is delivering satisfactorily during the crisis. But keeping in view the spike in cases, we need to update the facilities accordingly so that we are not caught in the crisis,” said BJP Spokesperson.
Dr Darakhshan, expressing satisfaction over the decision of the LG administration to give special incentives to medicos for fighting the battle with the virus at the frontline, saluted the medical staff for their dedicated and tireless services to the society putting their own lives at risk. Dr Andrabi, also hailed the Government decision of extending the lockdown in major cities and towns. She also praised the police personnel for their dedicated efforts during the crisis and demanded similar incentives for the force also.
She appealed the LG administration to create an official public enquiry desk or social media platform where people can get authenticated information regarding the Pandemic related issues so that misinformation is not allowed to create panic in public.
Dr Andrabi complimented the Governments of other States & UTs for extending due help to the affected people of J&K living there when they were approached by her on the request of the people who were desperate to be helped with medical facilities.
