  • | Saturday | 17th April, 2021

In a video, circulated widely on social media, a large number of people, including children, can be seen rushing out of the station as healthcare workers stopped them for the COVID-19 test.

This is shocking to watch the negligence people carry in this dreadful situation where the Covid19 virus is in its most deadly phase. The second wave is said to be more dangerous compared to the first one. The number of cases has crossed 2 Lakh and the death rate increasing has lead to a shortage of oxygen beds and the most necessary vaccine Remdesivir. Already alarmed with the fact, the people of Bihar are at their best level of breaking the covid19 norms.

Scores of passengers ran away from a railway station in Bihar’s Buxar when they were asked to get themselves tested for coronavirus before leaving.

In a video, circulated widely on social media, a large number of people, including children, can be seen rushing out of the station as healthcare workers stop them for the COVID-19 test.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar recently announced that random COVID testing will be conducted at all the railway stations fearing a return of migrants from states witnessing a steep rise in coronavirus cases.

A large number of migrant workers are coming back to their native state from cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi that have been reporting a surge in COVID cases and also imposed strict restrictions, including night curfew and weekend lockdown.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday chaired a high-level meeting to discuss the steps taken so far to contain the spread of the disease and availability of oxygen for critically ill patients.

He also noted that that coronavirus cases are rising with every passing day in the state and the government would initiate more steps based on the outcome of an all-party meeting called by the Governor on the COVID situation on Saturday and views emerging from districts.
