The Kohima District Task Force (DTF) COVID-19 review meeting was held at DC's Office chamber, Kohima on 2nd May 2020 under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Kohima Gregory Thejawelie NCS.

The meeting was convened to discuss on how best the DTF can streamline and regulate things for effective implementation of the guidelines for the next two weeks extended lockdown.

Deliberating on the extension of lockdown for further period of two weeks by the Central Government, DC said considering that certain relaxations is being allowed as our state is in green zone, however guarding and sealing of our boundaries is the most critical area, which needs to be taken up seriously at this juncture. 

In this regard, the DTF decided to straighten the entry points, especially the Peducha Check Gate with more manpower and resources involving medical team, police and SDRF for proper screening, details of the persons and sanitization of the vehicles which also include the essential commodity trucks. The members also stressed on thorough and strict checkings of proper documents approved by the concerned individual states while entering the district at the Inter-State check gates of the district by the personnel manning the gates. The members further discussed various issues in regard to the prevalent situation, which needs to be regulated during this lockdown.
