Bihar, which is headed for assembly polls in a few months, is among the states which have large numbers of COVID-19 cases.
In a review meeting on 11 August, the prime minister had noted that 10 states, including Bihar, account for over 80 percent of country's active COVID-19 cases, and asserted if the virus is defeated in these states, then the country will emerge victorious in its fight against the pandemic.
