West Bengal: People Protest Establishment Of Quarantine Centre At School In Asansol

People protested in large numbers against the establishment of a quarantine centre at a local school here.

The state government has decided to establish a quarantine centre in the Narsamuda High School in the Gopalpur area of Asansol. People of the area are of the view that there is a risk of transmission of COVID-19 amongst the residents here if rules are not followed in the proposed quarantine centre.

They have registered a complaint with the police and the district administration in this regard.

"I have no idea about a quarantine centre being set up in the area. I got to know about this from the local residents. They have talked to the concerned police station in-charge Amit Haldar about this matter," Sumit Manjhi, ward councillor said.
