Mechanism in place for those sneaking into Mohali dist
The the chief nodal officer must share information about such persons who have entered villages, towns or cities through unauthorised entry points with the district or state control room and the civil surgeon
Mohali’s district magistrate Girish Dayalan has ordered a strong mechanism to be put in place to check unauthorised entry of persons and vehicles from the other states into the district. It has been decided that all such people will be screened to stop the spread of Covid–19.
Furthermore, the sarpanches and lambardars of villages in the district are to inform the SDM/ sector officer or chief nodal officer concerned, about such persons, as and when they reach their villages. In case of municipal committees and municipal corporations, it is the municipal councillors or municipal commissioners and the executive officer concerned who are to inform the SDM, sector officer or the nodal officer.
As and when such a report is received by these officials, a rapid response team (RRT) of the sector, in which the area falls, will be activated and medical screening of such persons will be done. Civil surgeons will also make sure that RRTs inform the SMO concerned and the district control room about anyone found symptomatic, in which case the person will be tested immediately and the health department’s protocol is to be followed.
The supervisory officer of the area and surveillance officer are to ensure from time to time, that all such persons are following the protocol.
The data of all such persons who have reached villages, towns or cities by sneaking in through unauthorised entry points must be shared by the chief nodal officer with the district control room or state control room and the civil surgeon who will organise the screening..
