These local bodies should also lay emphasis on infrastructure development at the local level to mitigate future disasters.

People are not very serious in terms of following covid compliant behavior, it is very sad that in rural areas you will still be able to see such a situation where people ignore covid compliant habits, they think that they will not get infected with covid And the coronavirus cannot harm them. People have to understand the importance of this behavior, we can be saved from any next wave of Covid only when the vaccine of Covid is introduced on a large scale, and even after getting the vaccine, Covid-compliant behavior is followed.
Covid compliant behavior has to be included in the routine
Dr. Nitin M Nagarkar, Director and CEO, AIIMS Raipur, Chhattisgarh is stating that the second wave of covid was very serious and it affected the state badly, in the beginning of March 2021, 6.5 lakh cases were seen and many people lost their lives. The death rate in that state of infection was 1.4 percent. The effect of the second wave of infection was also visible in the rural area, in fact, there was not much difference between the urban and rural areas in terms of infection.
The infection spread from city to village, from small place to big town, and from city to village in such places where restrictions were not being strictly followed even after the lockdown. Along with this, the migration of workers from the city to the village also became a major reason for increasing the cases of Covid in the rural areas. People are now becoming aware of the infection, but he has to include them in his regular routine. If we want to control the epidemic, then we have to follow covid compliant behavior and it is our social responsibility.
