Our CorrespondentItanagar: Former Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has urged the state government to allocate sufficient fund to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. “It is important that we take great care to screen the students returning from various metro cities of India. My suggestion to the government is that we quarantine all those who come from outside the state until we get full assurance that they are free from the virus,” Tuki said. “Though the State is still free from Covid-19, it is possible that people from outside may have entered the state undetected for the virus,” the senior Congress leader said.
