Covid care centre for police personnel and their families in Chandpole
JAIPUR: Policemen in Jaipur are no exception when it comes to those infected by Covid. At least 236 policemen including Jaipur police commissioner and family members of all the four DCPs have been hit by the virus. A woman constable of Jaipur police commissionerate died of the virus.
Many infected cops who are living with their families in police quarters have been sent to Covid care centre at Police Lines in Chandpole. Senior police officers are coordinating with hospitals to get beds, oxygen and remdesivir as per the requirement for affected policemen and their family.
“It is one of the toughest phases for us too. At least 236 of our colleagues have tested positive. Since we are on duty, attending to people’s complaints in police stations and also checking unnecessary movement on the roads, we have been affected,” said ACP (crime) Ajay Pal Lamba said on Thursday.
He added that as many cops and their family members have been found positive in the last few months, the daily attendance at police stations has been 20% down.
Talking about arrangements for the infected police personnel, he said, “We have started a Covid care centre at Police Lines in which personnel with mild symptoms and living in small quarters are sent. Since they are living in small quarters we are trying to facilitate them with this Covid care so that they can spend their quarantine period away from their homes and keep their families safe.”
Also, senior officers including commissioner of police, additional commissioners and DCPs have been facilitating their men to get beds, remdesivir and oxygen. “We have received more than 1,000 calls so far in which cops needed admissions in hospitals, sought oxygen and even remdesivir,” he added.
