A friend of his from Kerala is stuck there. Indian Student Union is taking care of all the Indian students trapped there. Along with this, giving full assurance to their families that they are safe. Children are also being talked about with their families. There is no shortage of food and drink for them.
Ticket prices had also increased in CoronaSargam’s father Bablu Kumar is a Senior Medical Lab Technician in GMCH-32. He told that even during the Corona period, when the children were called back, tickets were booked at three times the price. This time too disaster struck, so the price of tickets increased. The government should stop the sudden increase in ticket prices in case of emergency. If no one has money, how will he call back his child?
