| HC seeks govt’s reply in 4 days on PIL for effective measures against corononvirus | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 12: Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Thursday issued notice to Chief Secretary of J&K on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking directions for taking effective preventive measures to combat the epidemic of Corona Virus.
Hearing the petition, a Division Bench of the court directed the J&K’s top officer to file the response by March 16. The PIL has also sought directions to the government to formulate a policy laying the infrastructure for the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of the epidemic of Corona Virus and to set up special Fever Hospitals and isolated treatment centers managed by specially trained medical and para-medical staff. It also seeks directions to provide facilities for conduct of all pathological tests and treatment free of cost and set up special screening system for the detection of suspected or infected persons at airports, bus and railway terminals across the territory.
The PIL states that the epidemic of Novel Corona Virus is reported to have extended its impact to this part of the globe as well, which is manifest from the isolation of some suspected patients in SKIMS. Apart from such prognosis the influx of tourists and repatriation of local residents from China and other affected regions is likely to keep the situation vulnerable and further compounded by the ill-preparedness of the authorities and the recessive medical facilities, it says.
