Vice-president of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Moirangthem Hemanta has denounced the order of the Government to treat asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in their respective homes, saying that the order is 'cruel and is nothing but mass suicide' .
In a press meet held today at the residence of Moirangthem Hemanta in Tentha, he expressed that disappointment with the way the Government is handling the COVID-19 situation in the State.
There is shortage of healthcare workers and the number of cases is also rising day by day, Hemanta said while he recalled the assurance given by the State Government to recruit around 300 doctors and 106 nurses to help fight COVID-19 .
However, it is almost 9 months and it has not translated into action, he added.
He urged the Government to recruit requisite number of doctors and nurses as promised before the COVID-19 situation in the State escalates.
