After a first year student living in the hostel inside the campus found Swine Flu positive, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information Technology(DAIICT) has denied students permission to leave the campus. This is because the state government has instructed the institute not to halt its work, and keep the students inside the campus. Reason behind such directive according to Health Secretary Ravi Saxena is that, if any of the students gets infected, at least the virus would not spread outside. There is already a monitoring going on inside the campus with precaution measures applied.
According to sources most of the students wanted to go back home and even parents wanted to take their children out of the campus on Wednesday, but they were denied. Sources told DeshGujarat, a first year undergraduate Swine Flu positive student Sandeep stayed in H block which is secluded from the rest of the campus by way of its location. The laboratories in which the swine flu positive student worked have been shut. Other activities in the campus are normally going on but with masks on all the faces.
