Budgam, June 4: A Junior Lab technician was suspended today in Chadoora area after he allegedly collected samples of a suspected COVID-19 person at his home in Durbugh village, who later tested positive.
As per the reports, there was a row after a tea-Stall owner in Durbugh village of Chadoora town of Central Kashmir’s Budgam district had claimed that without taking his samples, he was declared positive and put under isolation ward at JVC SKIMS Bemina.
