Chief Secretary P Ravi Kumar on Wednesday ordered all public offices to appoint a nodal officer for the enforcement of Covid-appropriate behaviour. The nodal officers will “enforce and ensure” compliance by officials/staff and visitors during working hours. Kumar has warned of action for non-compliance. The state is witnessing a downward trend in daily Covid cases and to sustain the gains, it is essential to ensure compliance by officers, staff members and visitors at public offices, the order said.
