For more than a month now, there has been an unrelenting increase in the number of covid-19 cases and deaths due to it. It has a debilitating impact on the lives of people and the economy also. Every day, the relatively higher number of Covid-19 cases are added up to the tally which has already reached 255888 while death toll nears 3500 mark. The increasing cases forced the government to go for the lockdown and as on May 19, it completed twenty-one days in succession.

It has already stretched health care facilities and some say it is on the brink of breaking point. Also one key way in which this crisis is getting reflected is in the unemployment figures.

Many people have had a severe impact on their earnings while others lost job altogether

As per data released by a private research group— Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) — the unemployment rate in the country has more than doubled in the March-May period this year as the pandemic’s second wave flattened the country.

As per the weekly unemployment figures released by it, the rural populace has also borne the brunt of the pandemic and the resultant restrictions this time.

While covid-19 cases are only rising, it has started to pinch given the fact that the pandemic has already hit the global economy hard, increasing poverty in practically every country, reducing employment and pulling people down from middle-income groups into low-income groups and in some cases to the brink of poverty.

The unemployment situation appears grim and new jobs are going to be very scarce. In such a scenario, there is an urgent need for measures to heal the economy and support those whose livelihood has been severely affected.

The pandemic has not only incapacitated large businesses, small and marginal traders alone but has also hit the individual incomes of daily wagers as well, rendering them incapable of paying EMIs on various vehicle, housing and other small business loans. Also affected, rather worst, are those associated with the transport sector. Government has announced some measures for registered daily wagers as well as those linked to the tourism sector. There is a need to look into alleviating the pain of the transporters long with artisans and marginal agriculturalists. The transporters are already tottering due to the shutting down of the business and its incumbent that the government takes a holistic view of the situation and come up with long and short term packages to revive the economy.

Medicos working in health centers, dispensaries caught in quandary

By: Afaq Bhat

Srinagar: Doctors and paramedics working in district hospitals, health centers and dispensaries that have not been declared as COVID-19 care centers have been caught in a very difficult situation.

A group of medicos while talking to Precious Kashmir said, “Patients who visit the health facilities most of the times are unaware about their condition. We come to know about their plight after examining them clinically. Patients whom we suspect are positive are made to undergo a COVID-19 test and most of the times our assessment is right.”

They said that medical staff working in the non-COVID-19 centers is at the highest risk of getting infected as they have not been provided with the protective gear, nor are they equipped to handle the positive patients. “Only protection we have is that we were vaccinated but there have been many cases where people have got infected even after getting the anti-COVID-19 jabs,” the medicos said.

A doctor said that the administration should make the Rapid Action Test (RAT) kits available at all the health facilities across the Valley so that medicos remain safe. “We are treating the patients without knowing whether they are positive or negative. We are not complaining but the precaution is better than cure. If doctors start getting infected it can prove disastrous as they are the ones who have to treat the people.”

He said, “The medicos working in COVID designated hospitals are treated as frontline warriors. Despite we working so hard no credit is being given to us.”

It’s in place to mention here that tertiary care hospitals and many health institutions in the districts have been designated as COVID care facilities but there are many health facilities that despite dealing with the COVID-19 patients continue to function as normal health institutions.

An official said, “The administration is aware about the difficulties being faced by the doctors and paramedics. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha recently announced special incentive for the medicos irrespective of them working anywhere. The government considers every medico as the COVID-19 warrior and acknowledges their contribution.”

He said, “The administration is trying to provide all the facilities to the medical fraternity as everyone is aware of the fact that they are overburdened and under tremendous stress. Administration and people are thankful them and hope that these warriors will keep on fighting till the virus is defeated.”

J&K yet to appoint ombdusman for Panchayats, Urban Local Bodies

By: Ibni Maqbool

Srinagar: Nearly 14 months after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) amended the laws governing appointment of ombdusman in Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies in Jammu & Kashmir, the administration of the Union Territory is yet to make the two crucial appointments to ensure transparency and accountability in local bodies.

Officials told The Precious Kashmir that the government is yet to make the appointments of ombdusman in Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies to probe allegations of corruption and maladministration in them.

“These appointments are necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in functioning of Panchayat Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies in the UT,” they said, adding that the government had initiated the process for appointment of ombudsman for Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs) in November last year.

The government had constituted a panel headed by Rajiv Rai Bhatnagar (advisor to Lieutenant Governor) and comprising Farooq Khan (advisor to LG), Baseer Ahmad Khan (advisor to LG) and chief secretary to finalize recommendation for appointment of ombdusman for PRIs. The recommendation was to be submitted to LG, who is the appointing authority for the post.

The post of ombdusman for PRIs is vacant from October 2019 after tenure of KB Aggarwal(former IAS officer) was cut short by reorganization of the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir.Agarwal was appointed as first ombdusman for PRIs in March 2019.

Similarly, the post of ombdusman in Urban Local Bodies was vacant from 2010 when the NC-Congress government enacted a law for setting up the institution to probe charges of corruption or maladministration in municipal councils, committees and corporations.

It is pertinent to mention that the Ministry of Home Affairs had amended the laws enacted by the NC- Congress regime in 2010 and 2014 for appointment of ombdusman. The amendment was carried out by the MHA to facilitate appointment of ombudsman when J&K is without an elected regime.

According to the amendments, the ombudsman shall be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor on the recommendation of a committee comprising advisors and chief secretary.

Earlier, the law provided that the ombudsman was to be appointed after the chief minister tenders advice to the Governor in consultation with the chairman of the Legislative Council, the speaker of the Legislative Assembly and the leader of the opposition in the Legislative Assembly.
