In the meanwhile, his family members have claimed that if his report comes positive, they will not take his body to their home.
Bathinda has also become a hotspot and has been designated as a red zone. This has led to panic amongst the residents. Meanwhile, the residents are raising questions on the poor management of the state government in bringing back the pilgrims from Sri Nanded Sahib.
The residents have claimed that the pilgrims should have been tested before leaving for Punjab and even on their arrival they should have been kept in quarantine at the government centres, instead of sending them home for quarantine.
