Delhi: NDMC picks officers for Covid management

“The nodal officers will strictly implement Covid protocols and create awareness among the public to adhere to Covid guidelines,” said NDMC Vice Chairman Satish Upadhyay.

He appealed to the general public to follow Covid appropriate behaviour (CAB) guidelines — social distancing, wearing masks, avoiding unnecessary travel, staying indoors, action against spitting in the open, among others. The NDMC also has issued guidelines to all restaurants, bars, clubs, RWAs, market associations, traders, temples and others to strictly follow CAB, failing which will attract strict action.

Meanwhile, the Delhi government has cancelled all leaves, except medical leaves, of health officials, administration and other officers. “It further directs that no leave except medical leave be granted to officers/officials/staff of different departments of GNCT of Delhi nor shall they be allowed to leave the station until further orders,” read the order issued by Amitabh Joshi, Deputy Secretary, Services.
