The state government has undertaken a multi-pronged strategy to fight COVID-19, and prevent its escalation across urban and rural regions.
It has also set-up a “war room” in each panchayat to make villages Coronavirus-free. As part of the move, the state’s panchayat and rural development department has launched a drive called ‘Jan Andolan’ to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the villages and facilitating for all Panchayats.
However, the state government has identified the causes for the spread of the virus and took preventive measures to curb and eliminate the possibility of COVID-19 transmission.
