MLA Sanjeev Mantandur, who spoke later said that the Team B-Human and Community Centre had taken an excellent decision in contributing to the Covid war room.

“’Human’ indicates humanity, ‘Team’ indicates working together. Working together as a team in a humane manner can result in defeating Corona. To effectively resolve Covid, government organizations and common people must work together as counterparts. Already now, Team B-Human along with the Community Centre has contributed six oxygen cylinders worth 1 lakh 60 thousand rupees to the government hospital. In this manner, we should all come together and cooperate to resolve the disease of Corona. Necessary actions are being already undertaken through the War Room. By keeping a keen eye on every patient and monitoring every region, the team put together is working hard day and night. Here, it is very important that we have citizens’ cooperation” MLA Sanjeev Matandur said.

“Amid the adversity faced by the state with regards to Covid, MLA Sanjeev Matandur has been effectively running the Covid war room in Puttur taluk, through his able leadership. In Puttur taluk which has taken various towns and villages into its fold, the MLA has been working with his team since the past year to ensure precautionary measures are in place, and that has proved to be helpful in the current climate,” Haneef Puttur, chief of the Community Centre said.

“The team inside the COVID war room is fully prepared to conduct rapid operations to ensure that emergency services are provided to the patients and distressed parties in any part of the taluk. Various departments/centres to provide information centre, hospital facility, Ambulance, ventilator, vaccination, ICU, procurement of medicines, Ayushman Bharath, Funeral rites, and emergency services with assigned team leaders have already been created, in this regard. Along with the promotion of phone numbers of each department, promotions have also been undertaken to create awareness among people to know the roles and functions of individual departments. After the opening of the government hospital, now Covid centres have also been opened for the treatment of patients. The cooperation of various private hospitals and schools has already been taken for this purpose. Our MLA is available anytime during the 24 hours of the day. To support and encourage such an effort put forth by the MLA, Team B-Human and Puttur’s Community Centre have contributed these oxygen cylinders. In case of future requirements, we are ready to provide more such support,” Haneef Puttur informed.
