Imphal, August 04 2020:
Following detection of COVID-19 positive cases among many of them, people staying in the family quarters of 1st Manipur Rifles complex are now facing a very difficult situation.
Some residents of these quarters informed The Sangai Express through telephone that COVID-19 tests have been going on in the family quarters which have been already declared as a containment zone by the Government.
In the process, many have been tested positive for the contagion.
However, no protective or safety measures have been taken up so far.
With their movement strictly prohibited and essential supplies running out, the residents are on the verge of starvation, they said.
"Forget about going back home, we are not allowed to go out and buy essential items and the surrounding areas have not been sanitised yet", they lamented.
They then appealed to the authorities concerned to do the needful immediately.
