At the checkpoints, two inks were used on passengers- one declaring the date and the other sending them to quarantine.
The quarantine stamp was the one causing burns and allergy to the skin.
Prajyot Lawande, a resident of Goa, tweeted two photographs showing a wound due to the ink. “The inward stamp applied at Patradevi checkpost has caused a severe allergic reaction to our hands, with the skin itching, puffing and eventually peeling off overnight…”.
On Thursday, officials confirmed the Health Department at the border have the ink changed.
