New Delhi: As increasing number of Covid positive cases has surfaced at Ministry of Defence office at South Block on the Raisina Hill, the Indian Army headquarters, stationed over there, has decided to function with bare minimum staff of around 33 per cent, sources said on Saturday.
It was also decided that no visitor would be allowed as of now. "Staggering of office hours, lunch hours/coffee breaks to be done, as far as feasible," source said.
Earlier this week, India's top Defence officer, who had been at the forefront in battling the spread of Covid-19 pandemic in India, was tested Coronavirus positive. This also led to sealing of a portion of South Block for necessary sanitisation. Also around 30 people came in close contact with the defence officer over the last couple of days and they have been sent to home quarantine.
