On inmates alleging poor condition of COVID-19 quarantine centres in the state, Srivastava said, “While some concerns raised by those staying in quarantine facilities are genuine and are being looked into, there are some frivolous concerns that are also being raised and remain unfounded when checked. I believe the situation will be better in the next two to three days.”
