‘Bilpar- Ashram Road Unnayan Sangstha’ gives NOC for home isolation of COVID patients

August 2: In a humanitarian approach, many localities in Silchar have come forward in allowing asymptomatic COVID-19 positive patients to stay in home isolation. On Sunday, a similar decision was taken by ‘Bilpar – Ashram Road Unnayan Sangstha’.

President of the ‘Bilpar – Ashram Road Unnayan Sangstha’, Pallabh Kanti Choudhury (Polu) and General Secretary Santanu Roy informed that they have decided that if any resident of their lane (including tenants) tests COVID-19 positive, 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.

Speaking to way2barak, General Secretary of the locality, Santanu Roy said, “Considering the gravity of the situation, all the committee members have talked over telephone and decided that we will have no objection if any COVID-19 patient opts for home isolation.”

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) also took a similar decision in allowing any asymptomatic positive patient of their lane to stay in home isolation.
