Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Project Officer S. Venkateswar warned staff of ward/village sachivalayams to be alert and provide all services to the public during the pandemic.
Mr. Venkateswar said that he has been receiving complaints against Sachivalayam staff and warned them that their jobs would be terminated if they were found to be guilty of dereliction of duty.
The Project Officer was speaking to health officials, MPDOs and tahsildars over steps being taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the ongoing fever survey.
Mr. Venkateswar said that the 10th fever survey should be organised properly in the Agency and people having fever symptoms should be immediately brought for testing. He said that the district administration will ensure that every mandal will have a COVID-19 Care Centre.
