Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has taken strong exception to some returnees from other states deboarding from buses en route to the designated destination.
As per the state government’s notified arrangement, the districts are requisitioning buses and sending those to designated railway stations with one Nodal Officer for people of their district (coming from other states) from the station to the identified temporary medical camps/quarantine centres in their respective districts for quarantine for a period of 14 days.
“Recently some cases have been detected where such buses have deboarded some passengers en route, putting the administration into great difficulty in tracing them and safely transferring to their respective destinations,” Special Relief Commissioner and Additional Chief Secretary to Govt Pradeep Jena has written to all district collectors and municipal commissioners.
To avoid any such incident in future, he has directed officials of district administrations to take the following steps:
“Keeping in view that that several more special trains are likely to arrive from other states soon, this matter may be taken very seriously and necessary action taken so as to avoid any lapse in the matter,” Jena reminded district administration officials.
