Given the magnitude of potential unemployment, business failure, and financial-system risk, former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today demanded planning comprehensive package of fiscal and monetary interventions. He urged administration to work in close coordination and bring the mortality rate to its minimum. “We can’t afford any lapse from the administration in this hour of crisis, which needs profiling of the vulnerable areas and efforts to reach out to the affected people on priority,” he said, demanding Govt to ensure safety and security for the people by lending all necessary and possible support to the needy people in their areas. “While Corona warriors working round the clock for ensuring the welfare of the people, the people should cooperate with the administration and follow the health administrative advisories in letter and spirit to minimize the spread of the virus,” Bhalla said and urged people to take special care of vulnerable age groups like elderly, children and people with existing illnesses. He reiterated that there should not be shortage of essential commodities or any service and asked people to maintain social distance as a precautionary measure to stop the spread of the virus. Continuing to extend his helping hand by distributing ration and other essential supplies among needy persons in various parts of the Gandhi Nagar Constituency amid lockdown due COVID-19 pandemic, Bhalla today distributed ration items at Panchayat Chatha Farm Ward3, Chatha Kothey and Bhour Camp Ward-73. Bhalla emphasized upon administration to work out a comprehensive strategy envisaging formulation of development oriented schemes for farmers’ community in the current CAPEX besides drafting guidelines for establishment of milk processing and fodder development plants in J&K.
