MALDA, March 25:- Owing to lack of strict vigilance and restriction a few labourers directly engaged in culling allegedly did not follow the guidelines for quarantine system and fled.
The administration was embarrassed today when a section of Press exposed few names of quarantined labourers who went out of the dormitory of the Malda district sports association and lived with their family members during culling operation.
They were separated following the directives of Central health authorities to prevent the contamination of deadly virus from one person to another.
Interestingly, one of the labourers Mr. Haripada Das who were not involved in culling operation owing to lung infection since first day of culling operation is still quarantined there.
The administrative officials today disclosed that no one discharged him and he was there to get good food and treatment.
It came to light this morning when a group media persons entered quarantine zone without personal protective equipment (PPE) due to lack of restriction and took photographs of the ailing labourer.
The media persons also exposed three names Tapan Das, Shymal Singh and Bapi Sahani, he is also a rickshaw puller, who fled the dormitory and stayed at their home with their families at night.
The administrative officials are now strictly checking the names from the master rolls so that they can bring back them with the help of police.
"Despite several directions if a few ignorant labourers flee the quarantine zone without reporting, what we can do", said Ms. Arunima De, the Malda SDO.
The deputy director ARD, Mr. N K Shit, today discussed the matter with the additional district magistrate, Ms. Indrani Saha, to strengthen police forces there.
“Vigilance will be intensified in front of the dormitory of the Malda district sports association so that none can flee. The administrative officials will check attendance of all quarantined labourers and officials every morning", said Mr. Shit.
