Amidst this, Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam underwent corona test at Assembly on Friday. Along with him, Principal Secretary, Assembly, A P Singh also underwent corona test. Later, investigation team informed that test reports of both of them are negative. On being contacted by ‘The Hitavada’, Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam told that he went through corona test and everything is fine by the grace of god. In the meantime, he told that when Budget Session will commence again, no entry will be given without mask and thermal screening will be mandatory. He said that he is also going to request all MLAs to get themselves tested for corona and when session recommences, they should come along with their corona report. To set example in this regard, he himself underwent corona test. He added further that as part of necessary precautions, he ordered to close visitors’ gallery and prohibited other entries as well.
