Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaAugust 10, 2021

Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Health & Family Welfare department Prestone Tynsong on Monday asked the opposition Congress to stop demoralizing the doctors and health workers who are fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We (government) are here to ensure the safety of the citizens of the state. This is our priority…whether you object to it, you oppose it or you criticize it, we welcome all,” Tynsong told reporters.

He was reacting to the recent allegation made by the opposition that the state government has failed to handle the COVID-19 pandemic and has left it to the people to deal with the situation.

Tynsong however requested the opposition Congress to refrain from making such statements which demoralizes the doctors and health workers in the state.

“Any persons who just alleged like that please understand don’t demoralize our DHS, don’t demoralize our doctors upto the PHC level and don’t demoralize our nurses up to the sub centre level and please don’t demoralize our Ashas and Aganwadi who are working so hard without any sleep,” he said.

“Just to criticize that the government has given up I think that is not the end of the story. So I would request everybody be it opposition Congress, be it NPP or be it any party, let us work jointly. I am here to accept the suggestions and views submitted by all concerns. We are here to listen and we are here also to implement those suggestions submitted by different stakeholders,” added the deputy chief minister.
