Twenty-five days into the lockdown, several people put up at quarantine centres across the city have started to complain about the mistreatment they are facing. Some claim that they have been quarantined for 25 days; some others say that even after 20 days their samples have not been collected while the rest claim that their samples have been taken multiple times saying that the previous ones were damaged. Disappointed with the authorities concerned, people have now taken to social media to air their grievances.

Changed three centres
A 22-year-old Malvani resident, who had helped to carry out the last rites of a 60-year-old patient who died due to COVID-19, said, "I was quarantined on April 1 at Shatabdi Hospital along with the deceased's family members. They were released a few days ago but I was kept at Shatabdi for eight days and then shifted to Bhabha Hospital on April 9 and then to a MHADA building in Powai on April 11. All this time I was not tested for COVID-19.
