I also reviewed the data of incoming vehicles at Srirampur inter-state check point and directed the district admin and health dept to ensure #Covid testing and strict isolation of positive cases. Asked them to provide adequate transportation to those opting for home isolation. pic.twitter.com/D6rRf1Ki4B
