No social distancing: Violation of COVID guidelines goes unabated at Govt Run testing Centre in Kangan

Have asked Tehsildar kangan to look into it: DC Ganderbal

Ganderbal: At a time when Corona is breaking records of every previous day across the country, unwillingness of the masses to obey COVID guidelines is adding fuel to the spread of COVID-19
Similar is the scenario at Kangan an area of Central Kashmir’s District Ganderbal, where a designated testing centre has been established by the authorities, as the people are not maintaining mandatory social distancing.

The centre has been established at Old court complex hospital road kangan and covid testing for everyone coming from adjoining area’s is being done there. Unfortunately, people despite being aware of the daily fatalities are not following the guidelines.

Administration is also seen ineffective to ensure implementation of COVID guidelines that too at Government run testing centres.

There is Corona curfew in many districts of J&K to break the chain. Markets, schools, colleges are closed and public gatherings are banned. While police are registering cases if someone is found disobeying Corona curfew then why the same actions are not being taken at testing centre?

When this reporter contacted DC Commissioner Ganderbal kritika jyotsna for comments, she said i have asked Tehsildar kangan to look into it.

When contacted SDM kangan he didn’t respond to many calls from this reporter.
