A video, which has now gone viral, shows the residents of the quarantine centre in Bihar enjoying a performance of hired dancers.
The authorities have taken strong exception to the event. “Some dancers, called from outside, performed at a quarantine centre in Karrakh village of Samastipur district last night,” Additional Collector Samastipur Binay Kumar Rai said.
