Lockdown2.0: Stranded Bihar students in Kota request Nitish Kumar for help

Stranded Bihar students in Kota have requested Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in a video message to arrange transport facilities for them so that they return to their respective native homeland.

Purnia(Bihar):In a video message, Bihar students stuck in Kota can be seen requesting state's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to arrange for the transport facilities. Students of Purnia stranded in Kota, a hub for medical and engineering preparation, have appealed to the CM so that they can return to their respective native places.

"The situation in Kota is terrifying as the total number of positive cases has crossed 100 mark. Our parents are worried and we are not getting proper food due to the lockdown. The situation has become very tensed for us and we are not able to concentrate on our studies. After the Uttar Pradesh government made arrangements for their students stuck in Kota, we expected a similar move from our state government but it did not happen", said Sambhavi of Purnia.

She said further, "I request our state government to arrange passes for our parents so that we can get back home. We ensure that we will follow all the necessary guidelines to fight against this deadly pandemic".
