Talking to reporters after reviewing arrangements at Talapady border checkpost near Mangaluru, Mr. Reddy said RT-PCR negative certificate is not being insisted on from people heading to Dakshina Kannada district on a medical emergency. Similarly, degree students who are attending examinations in Dakshina Kannada are also being allowed to proceed after checking the hall ticket.More Related News
