Meanwhile, the student body extended its appreciation to ADC Sadar Hills for initiating Emergency Food Kiosk at Kangpokpi for the returnees while also lauding Senapati District COVID-19 Task Committee in maintaining systematic food bank for the quarantines.

It also appreciated KCC, Tumnoupokpi and Motbung Village Authority in taking the voluntary responsibility of catering inmates at various quarantine centres in Kangpokpi and also lauded the voluntary service of individuals and various organizations of Senapati.

AMGSU also found the IQC at Eco Tourism Park in Thangal Surung as one of the best systematic centres in Saikul area, managed by the medical staffs and the authority concerned including village authority.

The student body also thanked all frontline workers from the district administration, medical departments, police departments and various civil society organizations for helping in the fight against the COVID-19 .
