Mysuru: In a bid to contain Covid cases in
Chamarajanagar and to bring it under green zone again, the district administration is devising taluk-wise strategies.
As per the plan, the district administration will focus on Hanur and Gundlupet taluks in the first phase. The district administration is also devising a micro-level
strategy to create awareness among people.
“Our idea is to focus on taluk-wise strategies. Under the first phase, our idea is working towards making Hanur and Gundlupet green. Similar exercise will be carried out in other taluks — Chamarajanagar, Kollegal and Yelandur. We will micro-manage all the strategies required to make the taluks Covid 19,” said MR Ravi, deputy commissioner, Chamarajanagar.
“The winter season has set in. Initially we had just 65 oxygenated beds, but managed well. Our doctors are now experienced in handling the crisis ans we are confident,” he said.
However, according to the sources, the biggest challenge would be containing
Covid-19 amid the tourist flow. “Chamarajanagar district is known for both eco and spiritual tourism. People from entire south India visit the district in November and December till the New Year celebrations. Hence, there is always the fear of the spread of virus. Cold waves may add to the problem,” said the source.
