Dimapur organisations appeal districts to receive their own citizens 

Dimapur, May 22 (MExN): Four Dimapur based organizations have appealed to civil societies and administration of different districts to make all logistic arrangement for receiving their own citizens and to provide facilities for quarantine at their respective districts.


The Dimapur Urban Council Chairman Federation (DUCCF), Naga Women Hoho Dimapur (NWHD), Dimapur Naga Students' Union (DNSU) and GB's Union Dimapur conducted an emergency meeting on May 22, and deliberated on the arrival of stranded citizens in Dimapur from different states of India.


The organizations, in a joint press release, said that the District Task Force Dimapur along with different Civil Societies, NGO's and administration have been doing their best to contain the pandemic.


However, with the ‘overflow of citizens’ beyond the district’s capacity, the resources and institutions for quarantine are exhausted, the release stated.


In this regard, the meeting resolved to make an ardent appeal to all the districts to make arrangements for receiving their own citizens and to provide facilities for quarantine at their respective district after deporting from Dimapur.


Stating that every district was provided fund for combating COVID-19, the organizations appealed to all other districts to receive their citizens, “as Dimapur has its own share of challenges and to share the load of other districts would be a big concern for all, as it has to accommodate its own citizens.”


The Dimapur based CSOs also requested its citizens not to panic and to stay home for safety.
