ROURKELA: Corona positive cases have been increasing in Sundegarh district mostly in Rourkela and its periphery area. On an average every day Sundergarh districts is contributing30 plus corona patients but as per the report of 6th August corona positive cases in the district stands at 178, merely shocking. Now people and the administration are searching for the cause of spike in the district. Every efforts are being taken but result is negative thinks the administration, but the matter of the fact is rarely Govt. guidelines are followed here.

Many defaulters are seen moving on roads without mask and in market place situation is the worst. No social distancing is observed in the market place, everyone is hurry to have their share of things. None is there (men from Administration) to look after the matter and make people aware of things and to maintain social distancing. Guidelines say if social distancing is not observed in the shops or business place of vendors, Rs. 10,000/- will be imposed on the business houses/shops. But the maximum violation is observed in the market place but in the media administration is propagating that everything is smooth and we will be successful in our endeavor.  But one thing is for sure that everyone including administration should come forward and follow different guidelines to contain corona not only for the administration but for the self and our loved ones. There must be a check and balance to all these by the people engaged in keeping administrative job on fields to control the spread. In some places markets remain opened after nine pm in the evening despite strict guidelines to close it by 9pm. Many complaints are also coming from the people that proper tests are not being conducted and some hospitals are here who are not properly taking care of the patients and denying patients to treat who are having mild fever or cold with a plea that he/she might be corona positive. Hence, they are not admitting patients who require medical help and treatment for other diseases which may create future complication. This has to be taken seriously by the local administration. At the same time police has to check the offenders on roads or in market place violating the guidelines. People are now panicking in the city to where to go for treatment or to have their essential items with an apprehension that, they may get infected from unknown sources.
