Whereas it has come to the notice of District Administration that BSF Personnel have been coming to Lunglei District from inside and outside the State without written intimation to District Administration from the BSF Authority. As a result of which two (2) Personnel from 131BN BSF stationed at BSF Base Camp, Vanhne while being under quarantine went to Civil hospital, Lunglei for medical checkup without prior information and consent of the District Administration on 03.07.2020 and were tested positive Covid-19 on 04.07.2020.
The above 2 BSF personnel along with their comrades have returned from Dholchera, Assam on 24.06.2020 after undergoing Quarantine for 10 days and the 2 positive BSF personnel were taken to Covid Care Centre (CCC) and Dedicated Covid Health Centre (DCHC), Pukpui for Medical treatment and Quarantine on 05.07.2020.
