GAURISAGAR: In this trying time of COVID-19, Sivsagar Deputy Commissioner Bishnu Kamal Bora has decided to stand behind the patients suffering from COVID-19 as well as the residents of containment zones. The objective is to ensure that these people do not feel being left out in the time of need.

From extension of medical facilities to COVID patients to distribution of essential goods to residents of containment zones, the Deputy Commissioner of Sivasagar has been taking personal initiative all throughout. On Wednesday, the Deputy Commissioner visited Modinagar Tea Estate's COVID Care Centre (CCC) within Nazira subdivision and interacted with the doctors and other medical staff. He also interacted with the patients admitted at CCC and took stock of the medical facilities being extended to the patients. The quality of the food being provided to the patients too was inspected by the Deputy Commissioner.

He said, "The purpose of my visit to Nazira is to take first-hand account of the situation herein. Though I am satisfied with the facilities being provided here to COVID patients and residents of containment zones, still I have instructed my officers to leave no stone unturned in delivering the best."

Following his visit to the CCC, Bora then visited quarters of the tea garden workers. With the objective to create awareness among the tea garden workers, the Deputy Commissioner appealed to them to take coronavirus seriously and hence; strictly follow all the COVID protocols like wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.

"We all have to stand and fight this virus together. If we aren't united then efforts of the administration will never succeed in winning this battle against COVID-19," said the Deputy Commissioner to the tea garden workers. During his visit, he was accompanied by the Circle Officer of Nazira, Shantanu Gogoi, Election Officer Sujata Gogoi and Executive Magistrate Tonmoy Chetia.
