Such problem appeared due to the fact of the total tests completed, previously 30 per cent turned out to be positive and that was occurring due to the fact tests were completed at the very last moment. Now that we have begun executing twenty,000 tests on ordinary, this situation is not there. I have held technical discussions on this…currently this problem is not there in Delhi. There is no want to anxiety,” he explained.
