With the Opposition doubting MP Kirron Kher’s presence in the city at a time when the battle against Covid-19 is in full steam, Kher took to the social media to say that she is in her Sector 7 house and is in touch with UT officials.
The Congress party on Wednesday poured scorn on Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher for her absence from the city while residents struggled with the coronavirus pandemic.
Questioning her absence, Congress city president Pradeep Chhabra said, “In such difficult times, it is the primary responsibility of the MP to solve people’s problems, but she is missing.”
The local MP wrote, “I assure city residents that I am in the city among them. Do not believe in rumours that I am in Mumbai. Since the lockdown, I have been at my Sector 7 house. Like you, I am also following the lockdown. I also appeal to you to follow it. I am working towards the cause with the Administration and MC officials. I do not want to be a hindrance in administrative activities by moving out.”
मैं अपने चंडीगढ़ सेक्टर7 स्थित घर से प्रशासन और नगर निगम के साथ मिल कर शहर वासियों लिए काम कर रही हूँ, क्योंकि मैं घर से बाहर निकल कर प्रशासनिक गतिविधियों में बाधा नहीं डालना चाहती। चंडीगढ़ वासियों की ज़रूरतों को पूरा करना मेरा कर्तव्य है।बस आप सब का सहयोग चाहिए।अफ़वाहों से बचें। pic.twitter.com/ttQgUSeyDb

The MP, who claims to be monitoring the situation from her residence in Sector 7, has not stepped out even once after the Covid-19 scare even as UT administrator and Punjab Governor VP Singh Badnore have been supervising arrangements and addressing the press.
Adviser Manoj Parida too has been at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus and remains constantly in touch with the city, to allay their fears about the contagion and the curfew.
