Schools, societies in Delhi-NCR bolster Covid preparedness amid fresh fears
With the Centre keeping an eye on the global Covid situation following the recent surge in cases in China and other countries, schools and societies in Delhi-NCR on Thursday aimed to bolster their Covid preparedness, with issuing Covid safety circulars to safeguard schoolchildren and residents.
Just when people were taking a breather from long months of Covid-led pandemic and life was normalising with offices and colleges and schools back to routine, the news from China of a new variant surging and causing havoc has again made citizens and authorities anxious.
“With effect from Monday (December 26), wearing of masks will be mandated for the staff and students, as advised by the government authorities. Mass gathering of students will be avoided and we are suspending school/class assembly for the time being,” Nikita Tomar Mann, Principal at Indraprastha Global School in Noida,
“Any student or teacher suffering from cold, cough and fever will report to school only when certified fit to resume duties/attend school by the doctor. Teachers have been advised to be prepared and keep their devices, software etc. ready for online teaching, if needed,” she informed.
Mann emphasised that while it is important to be prepared and cautious, “it is imperative that we do not generate fear and panic.”
Till late 2019, no one had imagined that Covid-19 and its variants Alpha, Beta, Delta and Omicron would change our lives to the extent it has done globally over the last few years.
Several societies in the NCR area have re-issued guidelines for residents, enforcing masks while roaming within the premises, as a precautionary measure.
Sr. Pramila Judith Vas, Principal of Fr. Agnel School in Greater Noida, said that the pandemic changed the education landscape dramatically, and they will re-emerge strongly again from this new threat.
“Let not the virus overpower us but create in us an optimistic, hopeful spirit to rise above and unlock the inner potentials to move ahead confidently,” Vas said.
The upcoming winter breaks at schools in Delhi-NCR will be crucial to ward off any possible super spreader at schools, and the state government may increase the winter breaks, if needed.
India reported a total 185 fresh Covid cases on Thursday in the last 24 hours, according to the Union Health Ministry.

Mumbai: ‘Hospitals Crippled Due To BMC’s Neglect’, City Cong Launches Attack
The BMC’s healthcare system has crippled as the tendering process of essential medical supplies and amenities for its hospitals is pending for the past one year due to the administration’s negligence, former Congress corporator Ashraf Azmi has alleged.
Congress corporators raise issue
Along with Azmi, addressing the media on the issue of BMC hospitals on Tuesday were former Congress corporators Sufian Vanu, Mohsin Haider, Asif Zakaria, Virendra Chaudhary, Sheetal Mhatre, and Ajanta Yadav. The Free Press Journal tried to reach out to assistant municipal commissioner Sudhakar Shinde but received no comment.
Supply of basic amenities crippled
Azmi said that the BMC has implemented a prescription-less policy but there has been no procurement from the central purchasing department affecting lakhs of people. He also alleged that the supply of basic amenities in hospitals, such as milk and food supplies, has also been crippled due to the administration’s laxity.
The Congress leader alleged that no drug has been scheduled through the central procurement authority, and the dean and medical officers end up buying essential medicines at higher rates from the open market everyday. “Moreover, every hospital is purchasing milk and food at different rates and under different conditions,” the corporations claimed.
Renovation underway since 5 years
In 2018, the municipality undertook the renovation of MT Agarwal Hospital, Shatabdi Hospital in Govandi, and Bhagwati Hospital in Borivali. Even after five years, these hospitals have not been renovated, as per the Congress corporators. They said that this year the administrators approved the purchase of life-saving endoscopic ultrasound medical equipment for KEM Hospital in Parel but the tender holder decided to cancel it. “The same goes for the supply of life-saving injections. The BMC is neglecting many such problems concerning citizens,” they said.
Former Corporators demand action
The former corporators have demanded strict action against officials who are cancelling contracts even after approval of the BMC administrator, and have sought the sacking of officials who do not finalise the tenders. Notably, the BMC had floated a tender for supply of medicines to municipal hospitals. However, only one or two suppliers responded to this tender. Most companies turned their backs on this tender process as the BMC has still to clear 20% of dues owed to the vendors, the corporators said.
However, a senior official from the public health department said, “For the first time in the history of the health department, we have got clear instructions from the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on buying additional medicines and other amenities for which we are spending additional Rs500-Rs1000 crore.”
