Maharashtra: 74 students stranded in Kota brought back to Pune

At least 70 students from Maharashtra, who were stranded at Kota in Rajasthan due to the lockdown, were brought to Pune in four buses early on Saturday, officials said.

The state government had sent buses to Rajasthan to bring back nearly 1,800 students.

"Four buses carrying 74 students reached the Swargate bus stand here. The last bus reached the depot in the early hours of Saturday," a district official said.

"All the students and eight drivers went through a health screening and none of them were found with COVID-19 symptoms," he said.

The students were allowed to go only after being stamped 'home quarantine' on their hands.
