Rising concern over a surge in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra, Kalaburagi and Bidar district authorities have intensified surveillance in border areas to keep track of passengers arriving from Maharashtra. “We need to be cautious as we share a border with Maharashtra, which has reported increasing cases of COVID-19. As a possible third-wave fear looms, officials have been instructed to conduct more tests at border check-posts to keep a check on the spread of the pandemic,” Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Dileesh Sasi has said. Six check-posts have been set up at entry points in Arjungi, Mashal and Belurgi villages in Afzalpur taluk and at Khajuri, Hirolli and Nimbal villages in Aland taluk on the Karnataka-Maharashtra border in Kalaburagi district.
