CHITWAN: The local levels in Chitwan district had decided to set up at least one quarantine at each ward of the local level.

A meeting of the District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) had made this decision in view of the possibility of a large number of people from the district coming home from abroad, including India.

However, it was shared at the coordination meeting of the chief administrative officers of the local levels held at the District Coordination Committee that no local level except Madi Municipality has constructed the required number of quarantines.

The DDMC meeting had agreed to set up quarantines at all the 98 wards of the seven local levels in the district.
As per the information shared at the District Coordination Committee meeting, only seven of the 29 wards of the Bharatpur Metropolitan City have managed quarantines.

Quarantines have been managed only by ward numbers 6, 9, 10,16, 26, 27, and 28. The metropolis office has said works have been forwarded to set up quarantines at the remaining wards as well.
