Covid-19 Resurgence: Surveillance To Be Stricter At Bhubaneswar Railway Station From Today

Bhubaneswar: In view of the sudden surge of Covid-19 cases in Odisha, the State Government has decided to take strong measures to keep the pandemic at bay.

In a bid to keep the infection in check, surveillance mechanism at Bhubaneswar Railway Station will be stricter from today.

According to BMC sources, all the passengers coming from outside the State will be screened and tested at the station. BMC and station authorities will jointly undertake the activities.

“The entry and exit routes for the passengers have been changed from today. The passengers will enter the station through Master Canteen bus terminus. Similarly, they will have the exit route through the front gate or the left hand side of the station,” said a senior railway official.

As per arrangements, the passengers arriving from other States will now require to produce a Covid-19 negative report (RT-PCR test report) or final vaccination certificate at the BMC kiosk set up at the station.

In case, any passenger does not have either of the reports, they will have to complete a registration process so that necessary tracking and follow up action could be taken by the health authorities.
