Government directed public holiday is going on throughout the country to prevent transmission of novel corona virus. However, the UP secretaries of Gopalganj did not stop to provide emergency services to the people even during the ongoing public holiday.
Already, 18 corona patients have been identified in different upazilas of the district. Due to the absence of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the UP secretaries have to continue to serve the public taking risk. So, corona panic and grudge is prevailing among them.
In this regard, Zahirul Islam Lipton, a member of the Central Committee of the Bangladesh Union Parishad Secretariat Association (BAPSA) and the organizing secretary of Gopalganj unit of the association said, “If the government had arranged for PPE for us, we could provide services to public without being panicked by corona virus”.
