Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha has opined that non-visiting of senior district officers like Deputy Commissioner (DC), District Health Officer (DHO) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Zilla Panchayat (ZP) to rural areas to take stock of the situation has been the root cause for the surge in Corona positive cases and deaths in villages.
"These officers sit in offices and take information via video-conference. So, they don’t know the real picture in villages. When Co-operation and District in-Charge Minister S.T. Somashekar can visit villages what is preventing DC, DHO and ZP CEO from going to rural areas," he questioned, speaking to reporters here yesterday.
