SRINAGAR, Apr 9: Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) today appealed people to comply with prevention and mitigation measures with a due sense of social responsibility in preventing the spread of Coronavirus.
In a message, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, President JKAP, said that the alarming outbreak of COVID-19 has posed most serious challenge to both the health of the humanity and world peace and development. “Faced with this unprecedented situation, JKAP believes that if the COVID-19 outbreak is not effectively and promptly contained with the help and cooperation of general public, it will inflict even greater harm to the lives, safety and health of many more people, and exert a severe impact on the economic and social development in Jammu and Kashmir like other parts of the world,” he opined.
He observed that the relentless pursuit of frontline warriors especially the healthcare workers to care for those impacted by COVID-19 exemplifies their commitment and dedication to protect the health of people in Jammu and Kashmir and beyond.
“JKAP salutes all these warriors including doctors, lab technicians, nurses, pharmacists, health and sanitation workers, ambulance drivers, ward staff, other paramedical staff, policemen, media persons food and Revenue department officials, home delivery agents and other officials of the civil and police administration who are providing basic necessities as partners to knockdown the pandemic,” Bukhari observed.
He appealed people to stay home and follow the health advisories in letter and spirit in order to cope up with dangers posed by the deadly virus. “While most of us are being told to stay home and to use social distancing, we should think about our healthcare workers, revenue and police officials who are taking care of COVID-19 affected people at the cost of their own lives in hospitals and quarantine centres. In order to do a favour to these healthcare workers and save our own lives, we should stay indoors and remember them in our prayers,” the JKAP president added.
He also extended heartfelt sympathies and solicitude to those who are suffering from pain and whose lives are under the threat of COVID-19 as well as the bereaved families of those deceased due to this pandemic in Jammu and Kashmir and across the world.
