The Angami Gazetted Officers Krotho is grieved to learn about the incident of assault on a member of the Krotho, Dr. Nosezol Sezo, Senior Specialist/Orthopaedic and COVID-19 Quarantine Officer, on the night of 3rd April 2020 at Purana Bazaar, Dimapur by Police personnel on duty. It may be mentioned that Dr. NosezolSezo, as one of the Doctors assigned to make necessary arrangements for the designated Quarantine facilities at Dimapur, had been on the call of duty since the pandemic was sounded.

At this very critical time in human history worldwide, when the Doctors and medical workers are the last hope to save human kind, the AGOK views this incident as very unfortunate and grievous that rather than being protected, they face the immediate threat to life and limb from such incidents.

The AGOK fervently appeals to authority concerned to take immediate and necessary steps to punish the guilty, besides ensuring that such incidents do not happen to anyone engaged in the call of duty.
