Dimapur, May 31 (MExN): The NPCC on May 31 has accused the state government of committing a series of serious blunders on the pretext of taking flexible approach to fight COVID-19.
It alleged that the constant changing of quarantine rules is borne more out of administrative convenience rather than medical advice.
“The ineptness of political leadership is creating more confusion among the government machinery,” it said. The NPCC further said that the ‘communication gap’ as admitted by the government is jeopardizing the lives of health care workers and other frontline workers in addition to risking returnees and citizens.
On the Tuensang returnees fiasco, the NPCC said that the state government setting up a 3-member Judicial Enquiry Committee should not end up like numerous Judicial Enquiry Committee or Commission that have never come out with logical conclusion.
While terming the renovation of Ganeshnagar Industrial Estate for institutional quarantine centre as the ‘only welcome development,’ the NPCC thanked the Chief Minister for finally remembering and paying a visit to the industrial estate which “was left almost abandoned for over 17 years.”
It alleged that the past years with Neiphiu Rio at the helm as Chief Minister is “about commitments for all, but development only in his area of interest.”
The NPCC said that COVID-19 has exposed the broken system of governance in Nagaland and that it is time for the people of Nagaland to understand “how successive DAN governments and now PDA government have brought Nagaland to such a pathetic situation.”
