Tajpura village which is just three kilometers away from Padra in Vadodara district, is now Corona-free.
Tajpura village has come together to provide an excellent example of how to cope with the Covid-19 epidemic and prevent this disease with the rural manpower. Sarpanch Dhruvit Patel credited the villagers for protecting the village from Corona infection and said that it was a result of the strict implementation of the government’s guidelines.
The young Sarpanch said that a Covid Committee was formed in their village from the beginning. The people of Tajpura and the Covid Committee imposed strict restrictions and the villagers remained vigilant.
He said that even in the second horrible wave of corona, almost nil cases have been reported in the village.
Sarpanch Dhruvit Patel said that since the onset of the epidemic in the state, a Covid Committee has been formed in the village. An action plan has been formulated and effectively implemented to ensure that no transition takes place in the village. Every area of the village was sanitized from time to time and sanitizers and masks were distributed to every person from the village panchayat.
Relatives have been banned from entering the village and “No Mask No Entry” boards have been put up at public places in the village. Strict enforcement of social distance and other guidelines are part of their work to ensure safety.
In the midst of the Corona epidemic, around seven weddings were held in the village as per the government guidelines. Sarpanch said that cases of the common symptoms of corona virus are also negligible in the village.
The members of the panchayat had created awareness among the people in the ward which has led to the first dose of covid vaccine being taken by 95% of the people in the village.
The villagers of Tajpura have also provided vegetables to the patients undergoing treatment at Covid Hospital in the Yajnapurush Sabha Mandap of Atladara Swaminarayan Temple in Vadodara.
