Acknowledging the contributions made by local Covid volunteers, who are working at the local and constituency level to contain the virus, Khangabok MLA O Surjakumar has urged the state government to frame a special policy under which these volunteers avail assistance.
Attending a meeting hosted by Covid-19 Task Force Committee of Khangabok AC at Lamding Higher Secondary School on Friday, the Congress MLA said that the local volunteers are coming out with a sacrificial spirit to help the government and the society in containing the spread of the contagion.
While praying that no ill-fortune befall upon them, Surjakumar stressed that the government needs to frame a policy for providing some forms of assistance to them or their family members if anything bad happens to them while rendering their voluntary works.
