Indians, stranded in various parts of Bangladesh, continue to return through various check-posts in parts of Assam and Tripura.
On Thursday, 134 more Indian citizens returned on Thursday through Akhaura check-post in Tripura.
These people were stranded in Bangladesh due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown.

If the swab sample test reports come negative for COVID-19, they would be allowed to go home.
If the test reports come positive for COVID-19, the returnees will be treated in various COVID care hospitals of the state.
So far 1,138 persons in Tripura have tested positive for COVID-19, which is second in the northeast after Assam.nenow
