A Bihar minister on Saturday
"Dear Sir, will it not be a severe blow to the #lockdown and a mockery of it!
Gehlot had tweeted:"As the UP government called back students living in #Kota# Rajasthan, it can also be done for students from other states. Students in Kota can be sent to their home states on the consent of the concerned state governments so that these young boys & girls do not panic or feel depressed."
In a letter to Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, Bihar Chief Secretary Deepak Kumar had on Monday said, "Such movement from Kota is not at all advisable in the present scenario. In Bihar, we are now medically examining the returning students as well as their guardians accompanying them, and instructions are being issued to quarantine them."
