Amid the major spike in Covid cases, the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Pandurang Kundbarao Pole on Friday said the administration was worried and closely watching the evolving Covid-19 situation noting that the surge in daily count of cases was worrisome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking to Greater Kashmir, he said the proportionate response will be given by the government as per the situation as and when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are definitely worried about the situation and at the same time there should be some proportionate response. We are watchful of the evolving situation,” he told Greater Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, J&K particularly the Kashmir region has seen a major spike in the cases for the last few days which has made the situation worrisome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday and Friday, out of total cases 81 percent and 77 percent cases were reported from Kashmir region alone while the number of active cases increases by 100 on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are worried about it and we will take appropriate decisions at appropriate level as per the requirement,” Pole said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past few days, scores of Covid-19 positive cases were reported from schools, colleges and Universities raising fingers on the adoption of Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) and adherence to other Covid SoPs which are already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Yes, it is a serious matter and all the schools, colleges and Universities will be sensitised and directed to adopt CAB and adhere to SoPs. There should be no laxity in it,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the government will not give any disproportionate response to the evolving situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are equally concerned over the situation as you are. Proper response will be given what is demanded as per situation,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Divisional Commissioner Kashmir said the administration will increase its response as and when the situation demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is a matter of worry but at the same time economic and other activities should not suffer,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
