Don’t and won’t agree with quarantine protocol: SMC Mayor

SRINAGAR — At a time when District Development Commissioner Srinagar is appealing all to follow quarantine protocol and is claiming that all the required facilities have been put in place at quarantine centres, Srinagar Mayor says he doesn’t agree with quarantine protocol.

In one more tweet, Srinagar Mayor Juniad Azim Mattu said that he received distress messages about the requirement of sanitary supplies at quarantine facilities.

“I don’t and won’t agree with the quarantine protocol or policy,” he said and added that this quarantine protocol won’t stop him helping his students and he will arrange and send sanitary supplies to every facility free of cost.

Earlier, Junaid Azim Mattu had asked administration not to invent crisis and violate World Health Organization guidelines. He had criticized en-mass quarantine of students returning from Bangladesh in an un-scientific manner.

In response to facilities being provided to those quarantined, District Development Commissioner Shahid Iqbal Choudhary said that they are trying their best and request people to help them improve instead of spreading false narratives.
