Moreh, March 06 2020:
At a time when the number of coronavirus cases in India has increased sharply, goods from China including edible items continue to flow Manipur via Myanmar 'unchecked' even today.
While conducting a drive at Indo-Myanmar friendship gate no 2, a team of media persons witnessed goods manufactured in China and Myanmar entering the State uninterruptedly.
At such critical juncture, staff of the Food Safety Department, Moreh were found not attending their duties.
As the staff concerned are not executing their duties despite the order from the Director of Health Department to check goods entering from a neighbouring country, intervention of the State Government is of utmost importance to contain the spread of novel coronavirus in the State.
