There has been administrative loopholes on the part of #VIMSAR hospital ,Burla, and Jayprakash hospital Rourkela. We are neither allowed to give phone to her, nor we are allowed to see our patient. Our patient complains of cold temperatures inside the room.
@MoHFW_INDIA@CMO_Odisha@DMSundargarh I asked for help yesterday. No action has been taken yet. All our family members are being harrased outside the Jayprakash hospital rourkela. Our patient is not allowed to get transferred. Please look into the matter.
My mami is admitted in #jayprakash_hospital_rourkela. She has been declared covid +ve. We want to shift her from rourkela to Burla. The hospital denied to transfer her. My mama passed away yesterday in jayprakash hospital. Please help us transfer her. @CMO_Odisha@DMSundargarh
@StudentVssut Recently I have gone to vssut to drop my daughter. Hostel was in bad shape not cleaned ,ground floor rooms are fill with grass and plants ,bathroom are too bad condition, hostel authority not followed the covid https://t.co/B1a0pKFbq9 no one care for anyone.
and scenarios which we are facing right now.
1. In contrast to the reported cases, real the number of positive cases are much higher which has been suppressed by the authorities. We fear that it is more than 50 at this moment. The cases have been increasing rapidly everyday.
2. The first batch of COVID positive cases was out on 25th February, but instead of intervention by authorities, the final year students had to sit for a 4-hour offline examination the very next day amidst fear and anxiety regarding the spreading of coronavirus.
3. On 27th Feb, a notice was released by the college authorities citing the closure of physical classes for students of 2nd and 3rd year. However, the schedule of 7th-semester examinations remained unaffected. If the physical classes are terminated to prevent the spreading of ...
coronavirus, then there is no logical explanation of the examinations still being upheld.
4. The students of the final year are hesitating to go for corona testing even after having little symptoms because if they are found to be positive, they will be debarred from...
appearing semester exams which may finally lead them to a situation where they will have to jeopardize their job offers ultimately risking their lives because of mandatory exams. This is also a reason why the reported numbers are much lesser than the reality.
It is clearly due to a lack of assurance by the authorities regarding the safety of students.
5. The day scholars who are not residing in the hostel will also come to appear exams and they have to sit together with hostel students who are already in containment zones.
This can lead to the spreading of coronavirus from day scholars to hostel students and vice versa.
6. The locals are also at risk because day scholars of Burla and Sambalpur will have to come to appear exams and this will ultimately lead to the spread of the coronavirus in ...
their respective localities.
We have seen that the surge in cases of coronavirus in Maharashtra took place from schools and colleges and more than 250 students and 70 teachers were found to be positive in a very short period.
In the afternoon of 27th Feb, students & staffs of Pulaha Hall of Residence were tested for COVID19, and another batch of COVID positive cases were out. Following to which, at least 50 to 100 students left the hostel for their homes.
If this goes on and necessary actions are not taken to curb the procedure of offline examinations and the University remains open, then VSSUT might as well turn out to be the next COVID Hotspot in Odisha.

At the time of posting this tweet, the hostels of our college VSSUT, Burla have already been declared as containment zones after the news spread that 25+ students have been tested positive. But here, we, the students of VSSUT, Burla would like to address the real-time problems
