Jalandhar district in Punjab has presented a harrowingpicture, and it may not be wrong to generalise the same for the entire nation.
Such a rise after six months of better statistics is a rudewake-up call and the health department is shocked to see how the situationcould have gotten so worse under their watchful eyes.
According to the health department, the positive patientswho came today include the staff of Commissioner of Police Office, St. JosephConvent School, Bhogpur, Basti Sheikh Government School, Moritorius School,Government School Kahnaesian, Government School Phillaur, Model Town, KishanNagar, Shaheed Udham Nagar, Nakodar. Guru Amardas Nagar, Khurla Kingra, Goraya,Green Model Town, Makhdumpura, New Jawahar Nagar, Greater Kailash, ChhotiBaradri etc.
Experts opine that the sorry state of affairs in Jalandharis because of the people and the administration.
The individuals of Jalandhar have somehow forgotten the venomoussting of pandemic Covid 19 and are flouting the rules with no regards to theirhealth or of their loved ones or the health in the society in general.
However, the administration too is being held equally liablefor the same. Experts claim that as the Punjab government was sincere andstrict in enforcing the social distancing norms but somehow over the months thedepartments’ rank and file have forgotten the importance of the guidelines.
Thus, with the unholy alliance of the apathy of the commonwoman and the administration, Covid has cast its dark thunderclouds over thecitizens in Jalandhar.
It is high that the ruled and the rulers wake up and notlose more individuals to this disease.
