Ashok Kesari, a resident of Dawa Mandi Saptasagar in Kotwali Police Station area of ââVaranasi, used to work in a hotel in Nagpada area of ââcentral Mumbai. After the hotel was shut post announcement of the lockdown and the rapid spread of infection, he left for Varanasi with six friends. He walked for 14 days to cover 1600 km distance.
With a few bucks in his pocket, he travelled 1600 km via road and rail tracks on foot. On reaching home his family members didn’t open the door, as they feared that he may have been infected with Corona in Mumbai, after which he got himself screened at Pt Deendayal Upadhyay District Hospital.
After coming with asymptomatic results, he has been advised for 14 days of quarantine.
Ashok had left with friends 14 days earlier, on Sunday morning he reached the Cant Station. After receiving the information about seven people coming from Mumbai, the housemates gave information in the locality, which created a stir.
