Sending people by special buses may spread corona: Nitish Kumar

Patna/UNI:  Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said that sending people by special buses during the lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic would be dangerous and may result into the spread of disease in such a dimension that would be difficult to contain.

Kumar said here today that such step may spread coronavirus infection which would become difficult to check. He said that all arrangements of food and lodging were being made for those who were stuck.

Sending such people to their home place would defy the spirit of lockdown said Kumar suggesting that the people should be kept in the tents and camps wherever they are.

He said that thousands of people were walking down to their native places from Delhi NCR. Getting this report the Uttar Pradesh government has arranged 200 buses for them which would originate from Noida and Ghaziabad after every 2 hours. In these buses, the passengers are mostly from Bihar and Eastern region.

Going back to their home in this hour of crisis maybe a sigh of relief for these people even if a single person travelling by these buses is infected it would push the entire country into a major problem.
