He said that the Air India authorities were asking students to produce a medical certificate proving they did not contract Novel Coronavirus. "Students are asking from where they should get certificate as all doctors & hospitals are busy treating suspected Coronavirus patients," he wondered.
He requested External Affairs Minister to ask Indian Embassy in Italy and Indian Consulate in Milan and Air India officials to help the stranded students who wish to return back to India.
