Nagpur:- Although social media is abuzz with talk of a stringent lockdown like Pune and Aurangabad due to the sudden surge in Covid-19 cases, collector Ravindra Thakare ruled out the possibility in the rural areas of the district on Monday.Stressing that any such move will adversely affect farmers, he said no emergency exists for forcing another lockdown now at a time when sowing season has just started.

Tukaram Mundhe, commissioner of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), also explained that he had not yet announced any lockdown. “However, in addition to ordinary citizens, those who manage establishments, shops and markets need to strictly follow guidelines such as keeping Covid distancing and wearing masks outside the home. Otherwise, stricter curfew lockout is inevitable, “he told.

The collector said if the lockout was enforced, explaining his stance, it would not be for only four or five days but at least one week or more. “As the sowing season has just begun, farmers need to look after the crops. To save crops from insects, they need to spray fertilizers and drugs, and they need to purchase material from markets. If shops are shut down at this point, their work would be severely hampered and affecting the entire farming community, “he told.

Adding that the hard work of farmers would go in vain if lockdown were imposed, Thakare said his team had decided to strictly enforce the rules to contain Covid-19 virus in rural areas. “We have ordered the Block Development Officers (BDO) and other law enforcement agencies such as the police to place a Rs500 fine on anyone who roams without masks. Those who fail to maintain social distance and other contagion-related etiquette, as the government has occasionally declared, would also be punished, “he said.

Alert he wouldn’t hesitate to impose a lockout if the situation worsened and a sudden spike occurred in Covid ‘s positive cases, Thakare said the number of cases in rural areas was limited at present. “The situation has not warranted a lockdown as of now. The farmers, who shouldn’t face problems, remain our priority.

Their entire economy is dependent on the season underway. Their families often suffer if they keep shops and other businesses closed. Afterwards, the entire rural economy would be affected, as the majority of citizens rely on village farming, “he said.

After more stringent lockdowns in cities such as Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Aurangabad and Solapur were placed due to jumping in coronavirus cases , social media was full of speculations that Nagpur district would also follow the trend, particularly with Munde at the helm. Nevertheless, both collector and NMC leader have clarified that they have no plans like this as of now, bringing relief to aggrieved people hit hard by previous lockdowns.

Nagpur: Nagpur has agreed to set up Covid-19 preventive kiosks at 8 railway stations in an effort to combat the coronavirus. Wednesday after 24 hours of the agreement, a kiosk was opened at platform number 2/3 of Nagpur station.

Senior Divisional Business Director, said these kiosks are part of non-tariff income operations. The kiosks will be developed by Pune-based Medicare Solutions. This is the fifth innovative project of Central Railway to take measures against Covid-19.
“The seven other stations, including Ajni, Wardha, Ballarshah, Sewagram, Dhamangaon, Betul and Chandrapur, are named. Central Railway ‘s annual charge from the group would be Rs4 lakh, “Patil said.

Patil told the company that the company is going to sell COVID 19 products such as face masks and helmets, bathroom cleansers, gloves, sleepers, PPE kits, etc. Bedroll for Rs100-200 is affordable. Body temperature and oxygen level are also tested free of charge in the kiosks.

Nagpur:- Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in Nagpur Central Jail, about 40-45 prison workers have remained ‘absent’ from work for the last few days. The administration is being forced to consider the possibility of approaching police in the near future with a complaint against them. The prison administration has so far attempted to send reminders to the absentee workers to get them back to work.

Sources from Nagpur Central Jail said the administration is facing a shortage of staff as 57 staff are in solitary confinement after positive testing and another 45 are not showing up for work. It’s learned that even after they tested negative, the staffers have kept away from work.

Sources said Nagpur Central Jail has roughly 350 employees, including many serving administrative jobs. Around 1,860 inmates are in jail, including 34 positive corona, at the Covid Care Center in the jail.
SP, Nagpur Central Jail, Anup Kumar Kumre said the absenteeism has caused a huge staff shortage in the prison. “We are running less manpowered jail. First of all, we’ll try to get the workers to return by giving them notices immediately. In the event that no one turns up, action would start, “he said.

“Even after testing negative, I turned up for work and didn’t stay sitting at home. We are servants of government, and can’t act irresponsibly, “he said.

Despite this, the prison authorities and the city police encountered more anxious moments after Monday’s attempted murder inmate, who had tested positive, attempted to flee the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). There was panic among duty cops, jail administration, and also GMCH management after his ward missed the Covid positive prisoner.

A source in Ajni police said they launched a search after the alarm was raised, a few hours after the convict became untraceable. “The prisoner had been discovered in a different room. He had been hiding behind a bathroom, “an Ajni police station official said. “The convict said he’d gone seeking soap. No action was initiated, as he was unable to escape, “the official said.

Sources in the prison also said some of the staffers had a split over the spread of the prison-inside infection. “An unnecessary game of blame has begun among staffers who had entered verbal duels with groundless accusations. After three and a half months of keeping the place safe, some of the staffers blamed some others for the outbreak,’ the source said.
