Imphal, May 04 2021:
Blatant disregard for SOP meant to protect ourselves from COVID-19 by the public has been the main reason for the increasing Covid cases in the State.
Dr Soraisham Manaoton said this today during distribution of essential items to 88 families from Malom Tulihal and Malom Tuliyaima areas today.
Some areas in and around Youth Welfare Club (YWC) had been affected by the second wave of the pandemic and containment zone were declared in the affected areas.
The essential items including edibles and drinking water were provided to those families affected by the containment zone.
Speaking at the programme, Dr Soraisham Manaoton said the second wave of the pandemic has reached the State and many have been affected by the same.
The sudden increased in people affected with Corona virus is also because the SOP has been neglected by the people.
China which is considered the origin of COVID-19 has almost become Covid free because of discipline and awareness amongst the public, he added.
As Naoriya Pakhanglakpa AC has become one without any MLA, there is no representative to bring relief materials meant for the AC to the public.
However he added that he will continue to work in his best capacity to help the people of the AC.
He also assured that schemes to boost education and economy in the AC will also be taken up.
