Meanwhile, the authorities in Pulwama district of south Kashmir booked eight people for violating quarantine laws by escaping from 'Red Zone' areas, the official said.

It was reported that eight people had fled from Parigam and Qazigund villages of Pulwama which were declared 'red zones' a few days ago and were staying at the house of Mohammad Sahaban Sheikh in Amirabad Tral, he added.

The officer said that the district administration traced all of them and placed them in quarantine at Hamdard Grammar School in Tral.
