Pradhans are important parts of rural society. In view of this, the princes have been given responsibility. But this does not mean that they have to see this work alone.

Has discharged responsibility in a better way so far. Now a new challenge has come. This challenge has to be met with practicality and efficiency. There is a long battle with Corona. We have to be psychologically prepared for this as well. Take support of social workers. Each ward should have a team of four to five people. Plans have to be worked out for the livelihood of the people. Seeds should be made available to farmers. Similarly, people should be benefited from the schemes announced by the Central and State Government.
Chief Secretary Mr. Utpal Kumar Singh said that the people who are coming to their homes from outside, have to constantly monitor them. In this, the District Magistrate should use rural level health workers. Every incoming person must be screened. Trace one case each. And their health should be checked. BRT should be kept active. Continuous contact is also maintained with the people coming through the call center. Those coming from the Red Zone have to be kept in Institutional Quarantine. Support of NGOs with good reputation can also be sought. Just as the cooperation of the princes is being taken in the villages, in the urban areas the local bodies will also be authorized. Councilors can play an important role in this.
