PEOPLE RETURNING FROM OTHER STATES

Media is continuously reporting about huge rush and the perilous condition of people at the boarder check posts of Kerala. The prime reason for this state of affairs is lack of a smooth transition of passes both at the states of origin and destination. There may be hundred reasons to quote for the delay by the concerned authorities but at the same time they must ensure that the pass is issued in time. It is also found that those who are reaching the check posts without pass shall be disallowed entry to the home state. People coming from far away places, if asked to return, is cruelty at its highest. Pass from the state of origin does not hold much of a significance. Even a pass from the home state too does not seem to be essential. The all important thing is to find whether the person is infected by coronavirus or not. This cannot be confirmed by pass but through proper medical tests only. However, the state can verify their identity through adhar card or any such documents plus an affidavit by self. In the meantime it is found that some other states are issuing passes to our people and asking them to vacate even from the lodges immediately.

While we are boasting our success in preventing the pandemic we should also be capable of boasting our success in the relevant area too. All the political parties should come to the forefront for the relief of the people held up at various boarder check posts of Kerala.
