India refuses entry to Nepalese student studying in Rangpur
Indian immigration officials today refused entry to a Nepalese student of Rangpur Community Medical College Hospital when he tried to enter the country through Burimari check post in Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat.
The student crossed the Burimari with a valid passport this morning, but officials at India's Changrabandha check post sent him back around 12:30pm, as he was running a high fever, said Sub-Inspector Anwar Hossain, immigration police officer at Burimari.
Later, he was sent to his institution after being given primary treatment at the temporary health centre at Burimari check post following instructions from the higher authorities, Anwar told our Lalmonirhat correspondent.
The Nepali student came to Bangladesh to study at Rangpur Community Medical College Hospital on March 1.
Lalmonirhat Civil Surgeon Dr Nirmalendu Roy said the Nepalese student has been instructed to be careful.
"He was running a fever yesterday, but he showed no other symptom of the coronavirus in his body. Now he will be kept in the intensive care of home quarantine at Rangpur Community Medical College Hospital," said the civil surgeon.
