As many 34 localities will be remain sealed till April 15 in an attempt to stop the further spread of the contagious virus in the NCR, the Gautam Buddh Nagar administration said on Wednesday.
Amid announcement of complete lockdown, women of Noida localities approached the newly appointed Noida District Magistrate Suhas LY’s residence in Noida sector 27 and were complaining about a shortage of food and essential goods, NBT reports said.
Since Suhas LY has been appointed as a new DM of Gatum Buddh Nagar on March 31, he is in action mode and trying all the possible steps to curb the virus and help the needy. The same thing happened on Tuesday when women from a different sector of Noida i.e. Sector 9, Sector 16 and others complain that they haven’t received any ration from the last 17 days, navbharattimes.indiatimes.com reported.
After hearing women, DM Suhas immediately called officers and reprimanded him. He also asked the officer to supply food in these areas otherwise he will reach his office. However, women returned their homes after getting assurance from DM.
