After people demanded action against Bats point in MBB College area, attacking Kota returned family to leave area at Indranagar, now the locals of Goyala Basti created unprecedented panic centering a nearby COVID19 treatment centre in Bhagat Singh Youth hostel which was recently opened with the massive spike of the disease in state.

The mob gathering can also become dangerous for future. The people who protested, can they guarantee that they do not Coronavirus disease ? If any of them, by chance is positive, today all would be infected !” The mob also stone pelted on police, led police to impose lathi-charge which caused few minor injuries.
