Arun Chanda Road gives NOC for home isolation of COVID patients

August 4: The coronavirus pandemic has also given rise to humanitarian crisis. In many places, people are even not allowing doctors, nurses and other health workers to enter their apartment. However, many localities in Silchar have adopted laudable steps in this connection. Some societies and lane development committees have taken unanimous decision of allowing asymptomatic COVID-19 positive patients to stay in home isolation. On Tuesday, a similar decision was taken by “Arun Chanda Road Development Committee.”

President of the ‘Arun Chanda Road Development Committee’, Sashanka Paul and General Secretary Pintu Paul informed about their decision that, if any resident of their lane (including tenants) tests COVID-19 positive (asymptomatic), then they will have no objection in allowing home quarantine to that patient. They also decided that the other residents of the lane will provide essential commodities to such persons who will go for home isolation due to coronavirus. However, they added that such persons of their lane who will go for home isolation should observe the COVID-19 protocol issued by the government.

It needs mention here that eminent cardiologist Dr. P.C. Sharma and his wife were the 1st coronavirus positive patients to be allowed home isolation by the district health department after he satisfied the conditions laid down by Assam government in this connection. Earlier, Sukanta Sarani (Hailakandi Road, Silchar), Adi Shib Bari Lane Development Committee (adjacent to Public School) and Moulabi Road (Ambicapatty), Bilpar – Ashram Road Unnayan Sangstha, East Norshing Road Development Committee, Shivalik Park, Krishna Apartment (Ambicapatty) etc. also took a similar decision in allowing any asymptomatic positive patient of their lane to stay in home isolation.
