“Let us all come together to protect and save precious lives by discharging our duty towards the society” said LG, as per an official spokesperson.
Sinha, he said, observed that the representatives of public and political leaders have an important role to play in these trying times. With everyone’s support and cooperation, we can successfully break the chain of the spread of Covid pandemic.
“Administration is committed to the safety of the people. We are working round-the-clock and doing our best to ensure the availability of all the necessary medicare facilities, besides taking comprehensive measures to strengthen the rapid response mechanism to deal with the emerging situation,” the LG said.
Observing that the present situation in J&K was under control, the LG told the politicians that the capacity of medical oxygen in J&K has increased three times in the last six months with most of the big Covid care Government hospitals in J&K having their own oxygen generation plants.
