Rayagada Division, Rayagada – 765 001

Sub:    Taking care of COVID-19 positive cases and expeditious settlement of all death cases arising out of COVID-19 – regarding

Respected Sir,

            In response to this Circle Union letter dated 20.09.2020, Circle Office, Bhubaneswar vide its letter No. WL/21-8/2020, dated 21.09.2020 has intimated that you are there to look after the positive cases and expeditious settlement of COVID-19 death cases. The copy of the Circle Office letter as above is attached here with for kind reference.

            But to our utter dissatisfaction, out of the 6 death cases occurred so far in our knowledge as detailed below, the progress status towards payment of the 10 lakh financial compensation is not at all satisfactory. We are in dark if any kind of hurriedness is shown by the administration in this regard.  

Sl.	Name and Address of the Deceased COVID-19 Warrior	Date of Death
1	Girija Prasad Dash, Ex-PA, Parlakhemundi HO under Rayagada Division	18.07.2020
2	Rabindranath Pradhan, GDS BPM, Baunsalundi BO in account with Jillundi SO under Aska Division	29.07.2020
3	Prasant Kumar Dash, BPM, B.Katapalli in account with Bardol S O under Sambalpur Division	01.08.2020
4	Santosh Kumar Behera, MTS, TMO, Aska under RMS ‘BG’ Division, Berhampur	09.08.2020
5	Babu Sahu, ABPM, Madhabandha BO in Account with Chikiti SO under Berhampur Division	09.08.2020
6	Krushna Chnadra Mallick, PA, Balipatna S O under Bhubaneswar Division	20.09.2020

            In addition, as reported to this Circle Union, the conditions of the officials tested with COVID-19 positive are monitored neither by the State Govt as advertised nor by our Circle / Regional / Divisional administration.

            Since you are the Designated Officer to look after the positive cases and expeditious settlement of all COVID-19 death cases, we would like to request you to kindly monitor the cases personally to help the family members of the deceased employees who are in distress.

            A line of reply to the Union on the nature of action taken so far on the above death cases is highly solicited.

With regards.

Attached.- As Above (C O letter dated 21.09.2020)

 Yours faithfully,
