LEH, Apr 8: Member Parliament (MP) Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal today said that the UT of Ladakh successfully halted sharp rise in COVID-19 cases only due to its front line worriers and cooperation of general public of Ladakh.
He said that it is the timely sensible measures and dynamic leadership provided by Lt Governor Radha Krishna Mathur and tireless endeavor of everyone supported by both LAHDC, Leh and Kargil headed by CEC Gyal P Wangyal and Feroz Khan, Commissioner/Secretary Health UT Ladakh Rigzin Samphel, Divisional Commissioner Ladakh Saugat Biswas, IGP Ladakh, Director Health Ladakh, Deputy Commissioners, SSP and CMOs of both the district, frontline workers and general public that today Ladakh is in very good position in curing COVID-19 patients and controlling further spread of virus in the region.
Dedicating an appreciation letter to front line warriors and general public of Ladakh, the MP said, “I, on behalf of my people, bow my head in gratitude to hundreds of Corona warriors including Doctors, Paramedical Staff, Police and other employees of the Administration of Union Territory of Ladakh who have displayed unflinching dedication”.
“You all have carried out your responsibilities with tremendous risk to your personal safety which shows your courage and selflessness. Your efforts have been in tune with the compassion taught to us by the Buddha,” the letter reads.
The MP said that all religious, social, political and non-Government organizations have pursued the goal of ensuring the health and safety of the people at large with exemplary unity and cooperation. “The manner in which all of us have dealt with the signs of COVID-19 in the containment areas of Chushot Gongma, Sankoo and Sanjak in particular is reassuring and worth emulating elsewhere. It successfully halted a least expected sharp rise in cases which was noticed for a brief period,” he added.
“I assure the Corona warriors and my people of Ladakh that your contribution to the wider cause of humanity is being widely noticed and applauded in the rest of the country which itself is fully geared up while meeting the threat posed by the virus,” the MP quoted.
