Udupi, May 9: A meeting was chaired by MLA K Raghupathi Bhat at Chantaru gram panchayat auditorium for travellers who arrived from other states regarding institutional quarantine and hotel quarantine in the district.

It was decided to taluk wise segregate the district border people who arrived from other states through passes after submitting the online application in ‘Seva Sindhu’ and keep them in institutional quarantine and hotel quarantine.
