Poonthura rectifies its mistake, welcomes health workers with flowers; CM Vijayan thanks natives

The protests of Poonthura natives against health workers recently led to major outrage. A major concern was that some tried to spit and cough at health workers. Poonthura is trying to rectify its mistakes now and today the health workers were welcomed with flowers in the region.

Chief Minister Pinarayi thanked Poonthura natives for the act on Facebook. He said the locals in Poonthura, Manikyavilakam, and Puthenthope ward where strict lockdown was enforced cooperated with the measures right from the start but some evil forces tried to destabilize the work here through deception, CM Vijayan wrote on Facebook.
