Several hundred Bangladeshi nationals were stranded in different parts of India after they went there for medical purposes.
The government in coordination with Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi facilitated the return of the Bangladeshis.
All the returnees with COVID-19 negative certificates were asked to live under home-quarantine while those who have no such certificates were asked to take institutional quarantine.
