Campaign

Citizen activists came together on Sunday as part of the ‘Count Every Death’ Campaign to remember and document the experiences of families and individuals who lost their loved ones to the pandemic.

CPIML legislative party in-charge and Politburo member Rajaram Singh said on 13 May that our Party MLAs have sent recommendations for the remaining 1 crore MLA funds to be used for arrangement of necessary health equipment, but the concerned District administrations are very lax in this matter. During this crisis the administration should be working on a war footing. The old snail's pace will not suffice to tackle this pandemic.
