Border point in eastern part of country sans holding centres

JHAPA, April 27: The Kakadvitta border point in Jhapa district which sees exodus and influx of hundreds of people on a daily basis does not have a single holding centre to shelter Covid-19 suspected patients.

The meeting held on Monday and chaired by Chief District Officer (CDO) of Jhapa district, Shrawan Kumar Timalsina, had drawn the conclusion that the border point needed a holding centre that could accommodate as many as 1,000 Covid-19 suspected people.
