Siliguri, 18th June: After another resident of Ward no-28 tested COVID-19 positive on Wednesday, barricades have been put up in the locality, and sanitization work was also carried out.
Meanwhile, the locals alleged that they are facing a lot of difficulties since the shopkeepers of the nearby shops and markets have refused to sell any commodities to them. Although the government has repeatedly stated that the society’s fight is against the disease and not the diseased, they complained of facing social discrimination ever since few residents got infected with the virus.
