There are certainly signs of improvement in the entire district.

It was already under control in rural areas while in PMC and PCMC limits, things are improving.

We expect that by the end of August, there will be a significant drop in positive cases as the spread of virus would have been effectively controlled by then.

My confidence stems from the way we have tackled the situation by implementing effective measures.

Local residents, activists and politicians have accused PMC and PCMC of not taking strong measures to check the spread of the virus.

It is not appropriate to say that effective measures have not been taken to control the situation.

All officials have tried hard to check the spread of the virus in their respective areas.

If there is success, people acknolwedge your effort.
