Assam Health Minister Hemant Vishwa Sarma said that more than 390 students of Assam have returned to their states by buses from Rajasthan's coaching center Kota and have been kept in a separate residence for 14 days. Sarma and his junior minister Piyush Hazarika Sarusajai had arrived at the separate center to know the movement of the students. These students arrived here by buses at three o'clock in the morning on Monday. The Health Minister tweeted, "After traveling long distances from Kota, 391 students returned to the state with smiles on their faces." He has been kept in a separate 14-day stay, ensuring the safety of him and his family. "The students have been kept in the Sarusasai Separate Center and the students in three hotels. The students started the 2,000-km long journey from Kota on Thursday. The quota for medical and engineering entrance examinations is one of the main coaching centers in the country. Students from different parts of the country come here to prepare for various entrance examinations. Sarma said that it was mandatory to keep these students in a separate residence as they were returning from Rajasthan which is the 'Red Zone' of Kovid-19. Apart from this, there is a possibility of them getting infected along the way. The state government has charged Rs 7,000 per student for this journey. A total of 17 buses have been brought to the state. Sarma had earlier said that the students would be examined on the fifth day after their arrival. After this, the doctor will take a decision to discharge the negative test report students and keep them under nine days of observation. He said that the students who were already in separate residence in Kota did not come in direct contact with any Covid-19 patient. The state government had sought permission from the state governments of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal for movement of buses during the bandh.
