Locals in Bengaluru complain after authorities step up testing

Karnataka has ramped up testing at an unprecedented level. From a paltry 500 odd tests at the beginning of the pandemic to 59787 on August 25.

However, there are allegations that people in Bengaluru are being forced to undergo testing for Covid-19. "It is against the basic fundamental right. How can you force somebody to get tested? If you have symptoms or are a primary contact, you can get tested.”
