This bizarre incident has surfaced when the country is still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. In Bihar, the number of coronavirus cases has risen as several migrant labourers who returned to the state due to lack of employment in other places, have been tested positive. Therefore, a dance performance in a quarantine centre points to a shocking level of negligence and ignorance towards the seriousness of the lockdown measures that have been put in place to contain the spread of Covid-19. More updates awaited.
