Three Manipur men fined for travelling with fake COVID-19 negative report
Guwahati/IBNS: Three men of Manipur’s Senapati district have been fined for travelling with fake COVID-19 negative reports.
According to an official order issued by Senapati district Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate Mahesh Chaudhari on Friday, the youths were identified as 33-year-old David D, 34-year-old Hriivei and 29-year-old H Daliinii Chao of Senapati district, who have travelled from Senapati to Dimapur and returned back on May 27 and 28 by using COVID-19 negative report.
“Upon investigation and verification by the Surveillance team at Mao Gate, it was revealed that, David D, Hriivei and H Daliinii Chao had travelled with fake COVID-19 negative reports using a non-existent Medical officer name in the district.
