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".

Students are facing health issues like depression and anxiety which is taking a toll on us. At this crucial point of time, we need the support of our families. I request our state government to make arrangements for us so that we can return home.
Earlier, Nitish Kumar urged the people of Bihar who are stuck in other states to stay wherever they are. He said that we are co-ordinating with our counterpart to provide relief to all the stranded people and doing our best to provide the necessary help.
