U’khand: 25 Paramartha Niketan employees test CCOVID-19 positive

Twenty-five employees of the Paramartha Niketan here have tested positive for CoVID-191, prompting authorities to seal the precincts of the ashram and the adjoining market and declaring them as a containment zone.

Those who have tested positive for the disease are asymptomatic, Yamkeshwar Sub-District Magistrate Sandeep said.

As the ashram is located in an area frequented by tourists, RT-PCR tests are being conducted constantly in the Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula areas, he said.
