With the wedding season (June 24 to July 15) beginning, nigrani samitis (monitoring committees) and newly elected pradhans (village heads) have an additional role to play in villages and rural areas of Lucknow— keep a check on social gatherings and ensure social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
“Apart from carrying out development works and addressing social issues, pradhans and nigrani samitis will also ensure that Covid-19 protocols are followed strictly in villages,” said Abhishek Prakash, district magistrate, while addressing pradhans and the nigrani samitis during a meeting aimed at ensuring strict implementation of Covid-19 protocols in the rural areas of Lucknow.
