Nagpur: A BJP MLA in Nagpur on Friday protested in front of the district headquarters demanding that a quarantine facility for suspected coronavirus cases be shifted as it is in a densely populated area where people are already "frightened" because of the outbreak.

Hingna MLA Sameer Meghe said the quarantine facility set up in Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Government Boys' Hostel in Wanadongri should be closed and relocated.

"Wanadongri area is spread over 1,208 hectares and is home to labourers and small traders. People here are already frightened because of the coronavirus outbreak. The quarantine facility in the hostel should be relocated immediately," Meghe said.
