Assistant professor, Department of English, Radhamadhab College, Arunabha Bhattacharjee tests positive for COVID 19. The professor was in the list of people who came in contact with the director of Green Heals Hospital and renowned industrialist, Rudra Narayan Gupta.

While speaking with Barak Bulletin, Bhattacharjee said he had isolated himself at his own residence in Ambikapatty, Silchar since the time he got to know that Rudra Narayan Gupta tested positive.

“The day I got to know that Rudra has tested positive, I informed the administration that I have come in contact with him. They then asked me to reach ISBT in Silchar to get my swab samples collected,” informed Bhattacharjee.

On July 7, his sample was collected at ISBT and since then he has been waiting for the report. “Today, representatives from the administration called and they were very well-behaved and polite. They informed me that I have tested COVID positive and I will, therefore, be transferred to Silchar Civil Hospital,” added Bhattacharjee.

The professor said that he has already submitted the list of people who could have possibly come in contact with him. “I did not meet anyone apart from my family members neither did I go to college. So it is only my family members who were living with me…” he asserted.

Bhattacharjee met Rudra Narayan Gupta and his wife doctor, Tanushree Gupta, as he needed some medical assistance.
