The Uttarakhand police have requested the people of Uttarakhand not to get panicked by increase in cases of the COVID-19 in the state and assured that it would not allow any Tablighi Jamaat follower who had attended the congregation in Nizamuddin to remain hidden.
The director general (Law and Order) Ashok Kumar said that every Jamaat follower who had been to Nizamuddin centre would be traced.
He appealed the Jamaat followers to voluntarily come forward and tell their travel history.
The DGP also made an appeal that people should not get influence by rumours and communal harmony. Meanwhile, due to five Jamaatis being found positive earlier in Bhagat Singh Colony and Kargi Grant in Dehradun, the district magistrate has directed the SSP to restrict movement of the general public in these areas being kept under community surveillance.
Apart from personnel involved in essential services and those involved in supply of essential commodities, the movement of the general public will remain restricted in these two localities.
