SDF spokesperson mentioned that the Prime Minister has been asserting on the testing, tracing and quarantine to address COVID-19 but the CM has been failed to appeal the PM for the testing facility in the state.
He alleged that the government has not been able to strictly follow the Disaster Management Act to set up the testing lap in the State for COVID-19.
He expressed that following the fund constraints the government may not be able to set up the testing facility as it has been failed to show the relief fund for COVID-19.
He expressed that it was very surprising that instead of giving relief to the people in such a situation, the people are giving relief to the government.
He mentioned that the state has an emergency fund in the State Bank of Sikkim, which he said could be used to set up the testing lab.
