Kolkata: IIT Kharagpur authorities on Tuesday (January 18) Imposed restrictions on movement within the campus, except for those on emergency services, in a bid to break the chain of COVID-19 spread.
Registrar Tamal Nath told PTI barring maintenance and emergency services, all other physical activities on the academic campus area of the institute, including laboratory works, have been stopped from January 18 to 23.
"As fresh Covid cases are being reported every day on the campus, pushing the total number of affected people since the first week of January, we felt the need to break the chain of transmission immediately not for one or two days but a couple of days. The six-day breather will serve the purpose."
