Imphal, June 08 2021:
A mass testing drive for COVID-19 was held at Haobam Marak Irom Leikai in Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency today.
The mass testing drive was organised by the Naharol Yaipha Lamjingkol Club in association with DC of Imphal West and SDOs concerned, said a press release issued by the Club.
The mass testing was done by the staff of Medical Department.
Earlier when 3 persons died of COVID-19 in the locality, the members of the club informed the Chief Medical Officer concerned and the close associates were tested accordingly.
Out of which 5 tested positive and they were admitted to Community Home Isolation Centres for further treatment.
The Naharol Yaipha Lamjingkol Club expressed concerned that some individuals with vested political interests furnished false information to the office that the club was going to charge Rs 100 per head in today's mass testing drive.
Reacting strongly against such acts, the Club stated that it is an act to tarnish the image of its members who have been working earnestly to effectively combat the ongoing second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and clarified that the Club has no alliance with any of the political parties.
