Some nodal officers briefed the meeting about the problems being faced by some of the returnees who are not being allowed to stay in some colonies in Dimapur after completing their quarantine period.
In this regard, it was decided that after the returnees complete their quarantine period and are officially released by the respective quarantine centres with a certificate, it will be the responsibility of their parents/relatives to take care of them.
The meeting said the community should appreciate the government for bringing back their children from different parts of the country, feeding them, undertaking their test and quarantining them.
The government or the frontline workers should not be troubled as far as issue of reaching their homes or native places by the quarantinees are concerned after their release from the quarantine centres, it stressed.
Sema wondered that the frontline workers received no appreciation from the parents of the returnees till date.
Member of the empowered committee on the pandemic Honje Konyak urged all the nodal officers to work in coordination and also asked them to bring to the notice of Team Dimapur if they face any problem.
