A notification by Health and Family Welfare department stated that if any district finds it essential to retain any of the additional manpower for COVID-19 related works after December 31, the authorities concerned will have to submit a detailed proposal by the end of this month, for approval.

The department also made it clear that the manpower proposed to be retained beyond December 31 should not exceed 25 per cent of the total additional manpower currently in position in the districts, as per a report in The New Indian Express.
