Nashik:
Following the directive of the central government for stricter
implementation of guidelines related to the containment zones, the
Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has instructed the nodal officers
across the six divisions to ensure the norms are implemented properly.
There are 638 active containment zones in the city and all of them are residential buildings and individual houses.
The
most number of containment zones (126) are in Panchavati division of
the NMC, followed by 110 in Nashik West, 108 in Nashik East, 107 in
Nashik Road, 101 in Cidco and 86 in Satpur division.
A senior
official from the health department of NMC said, “As per the new
government guidelines, the stricter implementation of norms is mandatory
in containment zones. We have already issued instructions to our nodal
officers in this connection.”
“The officials of the
respective divisions will ensure the Covid patients do not leave their
house. They will also ask the members of the housing societies or
apartments to ensure all the norms are followed,” said an official.
“We
also want the patients and people from containment zones to strictly
follow the norms and restrict their movement. The health department is
taking all the safety measures and precautions, but at the same time it
is also the responsibility of the citizens to adhere to the Covid safety
protocols,” said NMC officials.
Although the second wave of the
Covid has been projected by the end of December, citizens should wear
masks while moving out, maintain social distancing, wash hands
frequently, said the officials.
Moreover, people should not go outside unnecessarily, added the officials.
