JDU Nagaland asks state government
Dimapur, June 2 (MExN): The Janata Dal United (JDU) Nagaland on Tuesday requested the state government to focus on ‘post-lockdown policies’ and come out with its ‘planned road-map’ on easing the lockdown restrictions so as to bring back normalcy of lives and resumption of economic activities.
In a press release issued by its Information and Publicity Wing on June 2, the Party stated that the lockdown is “more of temporarily preventive mechanism which cannot be imposed permanently.” The last three full months of March, April and May is sufficiently enough to draw out future strategies with respect to battling the ongoing pandemic, it stated.
In this regard, the JDU Nagaland requested the State Government to come out with its “planned road-map on easing the lockdown restrictions so as to bring back normalcy of lives and resumption of economic activities.” The party sincerely appeals to the concern authorities to make the exit plan transparent so as to create confidence in the mind of the general populace of Nagaland, the press release stated.
Further, it pointed out that “the government must also come out with a strategy to mitigate the problems already created in the economic sectors due to the ongoing pandemic.” The government needs to come out with special economic package to help restore and restart the devastated economy, especially, for the small-time business community, who are the worst affected, it said.
The JDU Nagaland meanwhile expressed gratitude to all the frontline workers who are working tirelessly in these trying times and appealed to one and all to cooperate with the guidelines of the implementing agencies. The party also appeals to the Naga public to change our narrow concept towards the understanding of the COVID-19 and stop the stigmatization of COVID-19 patients or returnees, the release stated.
