The collector Jajpur said the Bhadrak patient had overheard them discussing that they would get down at Jajpur’s Sathipur Chhak. “It is suspected that the six persons belong to nearby villages.
When it’s well understood that all districts are bordering to Kolkata how these patents got the scope to entering during lock down period in Odisha and why the boarders area are not blocked with naka much before (?).
