Search is also on to trace out the other unidentified people who have attended the congregation. He said four more persons from Assam, who have attended the congregation but still remained in Delhi, have also tested positive for coronavirus.

According to the ministers and officials of different northeastern states, over 500 people from several northeastern states, mostly from Assam, have either attended or visited the vicinity at the religious congregation organised by the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi forcing all the seven northeastern states to launch an all-out search to identify and test the samples of these attendees. The attendees' family members and the people they came in close contact are also being examined or sent to quarantine. In Tripura, Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said at least 22 people from Tripura attended or went to the hotspot at Nizamuddin in Delhi. According to the Minister, 15 of the 22 people identified and their swab samples were tested negative. Authorities are looking for the remaining seven. "The state cabinet Chaired by Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb approved a Rs 233 crore package to deal with coronavirus and related relief to the needy," Nath told media.

According to the officials associated with the COVID-19 Central Control Room in Imphal, three have been taken for testing and the remaining 11 are being examined.

Chief Minister N. Biren Singh also appealed to the people of the state who had attended the congregation to come forward for a COVID-19 test. In Meghala, seven people from Meghalaya attended the religious congregation at Tablighi Jamaat, the Shillong Markaz informed the state police, saying they have not yet returned.

According to the Shillong Markaz, five of them are currently in Delhi and two are in Lucknow.

Five who attended Jamaat congregation test positive for Covid-19 in Assam

At least three central government departments were in the know of the event — including intelligence branches, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Within Delhi, the Hazrat Nizamuddin Police Station is located right next to the Markaz mosque. It’s unlikely that the authorities were unaware of the situation developing right in their neighborhood. <div type="image" title="policestation_edited" msid="74930968" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Hazat Nizamuddin Police Station is located right next to Markaz Tablighi Jamaat in New Delhi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While it's easy to say that the gathering violated the lockdown parameters, the bigger question is why no precautionary measures were taken to keep the situation from snowballing into a crisis. According to officials, over 3,000 people were present at the event, which means it’s unlikely that the gathering went unnoticed. Before the event — Ministry of External Affairs and immigration Since many attendees were foreign nationals, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) would have had to issue visas for them to enter the country. However, since the gathering at Nizamuddin was a religious congregation, travel authorisation requires a special missionary visa, rather than the regular tourist visa. <div type="image" title="aai13" msid="74931438" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Indian government places checkpoints and restrictions are airport to scan international passengers for symptoms of Coronavirus&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> “There is a separate visa for those who wish to visit India for a religious event just as there are separate visas for those who wish to participate in a business conference and a sporting match,” according to a former Indian diplomat, who wished to remain anonymous. He told Business Insider that religious congregations with international visitors normally need additional approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). So a person who wishes to attend a religious event of any kind, has to apply for a missionary visa — not a tourist visa. <div type="image" title="aai_2" msid="74931452" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Medical workers scanning international passengers for symptoms of Coronavirus at airports in India&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Due to these violations, it’s difficult for the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to furnish a list of attendees that came in from other countries. Anyone found attending the event with the incorrect visa will likely be black listed from here on out, said the official. During the event — Delhi government and local police The religious gathering began on March 13 and Delhi's lockdown was only announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 14. However once the announcement was made, the people at Nizammudin Markaz did not evacuate to implement social distancing. <div type="image" title="markaz7" msid="74931488" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Representative image: Thousands attend Ramadan prayers at the Markaz mosque in Nizamuddin in 2019&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Even as foreign visitors streamed in, they were not scanned for symptoms at the gates before entering the event. There were no precautionary measures put in place. Furthermore, on March 16, gatherings of more than 50 people were banned in Delhi till March 31. Delhi government claims that the gathering was a criminal act. It had already put the directive prohibiting public gathering under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 and the Delhi Epidemic Diseases COVID-19 Regulation, 2020 in place on March 13. <div type="image" title="markaz1" msid="74931566" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;People wears a mask following an outbreak of the Coronavirus outside the city hospital in New Delhi on March 15 &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> A case has been registered against Maulana Saad, head of the Tablighi Jamaat, and other officials of the group of defying the lockdown. In a letter to the Lajpat Nagar district commissioner by Malauna Yusf on behalf of the Markaz mosque, pointed out that the Delhi government knew about the situation at Nizamuddin. After the event — Ministry of Railways warns passengers The first indication of the Coronavirus outbreak spreading from Nizamuddin to other parts of the country was when 10 Indonesians tested positive for the infection in Telangana. Even before the nationwide lockdown by Modi, the Ministry of Railways had issued a warning that some of its passengers were found positive for Coronavirus. They told customers to avoid all non-essential travel which was reportedly due to people travelling home from the congregation at Nizamuddin, according to <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/railways-first-uncovered-covid-19-positive-in-tablighi-jamaat/articleshow/74928603.cms">Times of India</a>. <div type="twitter" handle="RailMinIndia" handlename="Ministry of Railways" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/485049154880536576/ZoQ3rXKw_normal.png" favoritecount="15043" retweetcount="5521" status="Railways has found some cases of Coronavirus infected passengers in trains which makes train travel risky.

A day later, the nationwide lockdown was put into place for the next 21 days. <div type="image" title="markaz3" msid="74931503" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Delhi streets lie isolated during Modi&amp;#39;s Janata Curfew on March 22&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to the mosque officials, no new people were allowed to enter the building after the lockdown was announced. As per Modi's announcement, they stayed put instead of risking movement. However, the Delhi government has a different take of the situation. Adhering to the new regulations, the Nizamuddin Police reportedly asked the people who were still at the Markaz to leave on March 24. However, nearly 1,000 people continued to stay put despite the lockdown orders. "The national lockdown was imposed on March 24 and it was the duty of every owner and administrator of every hotel, guesthouse, hostel and similar establishment to maintain social distancing," said the government's statement. A day later, on March 25, a medical team finally visited the building — isolating those who were suspected of having Coronavirus into an empty hall within the Markaz. Only then did the Jamaat officials go to the authorities to file an application for passes to vacate the area — including 17 passes for vehicles to assist in transportation. Before evacuation could happen, a 65-year old Indian preacher who attended the religious event died after testing positive for Coronavirus in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar on March 26. The sub-district magistrate visited the Markaz to call Jamaat officials to meet the district magistrate. They agreed to allow the movement of vehicles so that people can be evacuated from the mosque. Evacuation of Markaz Tablighi Jamaat According to the Delhi Police, they sent two notices, on March 23 and March 28, to the mosque committee asking them to vacate, but were ignored. The second notice came after the six suspected cases were evacuated from the mosque and sent to a quarantine facility at Jhajjar in Haryana on March 27. <div type="image" title="markaz4" msid="74931590" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;WHO doctors arrive at Markaz mosque to set up medical camps and scan residents for symptoms of Coronavirus&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the day of the notice, a team of doctors from the World Health Organisation (WHO) visited the mosque along with the sub-district magistrate. They found 33 people with symptoms, who were subsequently sent into isolation at the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital in Delhi. As the entire situation unfolded, the deputy chairman of the SDMC standing committee, Rajpal Singh, pointed out that the Markaz mosque is an unauthorised construction asking the district commissioner to seal the building. Meanwhile, Assistant Commissioner of Police at Lajpat then sent an eviction notice their way on March 28. The next day, six people in Telangana who were at the event and tested positive for Coronavirus died — and that’s when the news made national headlines, and authorities sprung into action. <div type="image" title="markaz6" msid="74931600" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men march from Markaz to the specially arranged buses as the area gets evacuated on March 30&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Even though a lot of people were in the know of what was happening in Nizamuddin, staggered information and misinformation seem to be the cause how Coronavirus was able to slip under the radar. And, it could be India’s first case of community transmission that has already killed eight people and infected at least 117 as of now.

However, what was unknown at the time was that it could make its way to a religious gathering and leave thousands uncertain about their fate. <div type="image" title="niza2" msid="74907928" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nizamuddin area in Delhi completely sealed as a group of 175 people from Delhi&amp;#39;s Nizamuddin area are being tested for Coronavirus in different hospitals amid worries that they may have been exposed to the infection at a gathering in a mosque that featured visitors from Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Delhi's Markaz Tablighi Jamanth at Hazrat Nizamuddin is now the single biggest hotspot in the country where officials estimate over 3,000 were in attendance — some from countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Indonesia where Coronavirus infections had already been reported. According to reports, it has led to at least eight deaths and 117 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in India, across the country. From Nizamuddin to the far flung corners of the country The event passed all but unnoticed until a 65-year old man in Jammu and Kashmir passed away on March 26. States in India are scrambling to figure out who attended the event and could have contracted the virus. On March 20, 10 Indonesians who attended the gathering had tested positive for Coroanvirus in Telangana. Ten days later, the Telangana government reported that six people who attended the congregation at Markaz Tablighi Jamath died from Covid-19. Around 194 people from the state attended the event with 15 testing positive so far. In Karanataka, five people attended the event, of which one is dead due to Coronavirus. Maharashtra, India's worst hit state as of April 1, reported that 109 people attended the event. Seven positive cases of Coronavirus have already emerged with one death. In Delhi, 24 people have tested positive for the virus. In neighboring states, Uttar Pradesh has placed 50 people under quarantine in the Jaunpur district and 125 people have been tracked down in Haryana. In Punjab, nine people reportedly attended the religious congregation. In <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/coranavirus-cases-in-tamil-nadu-news-and-updates/articleshow/74785909.cms">Tamil Nadu</a>, officials estimate that around 500 people from the state were present at the event. So far, 50 positive cases of Coronavirus have showed up in the state with one dead. As a result, 22 secondary cases have emerged in Salem. <div type="image" title="niz2" msid="74915658" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, 441 people have tested positive for symptoms of the infection in the city so far. In Kerala, the intelligence department has tracked 45 people who were present at the event, according to Time Now. It is yet to be determined if any of them have been infected. Similarly in Assam, the government has tracked down 456 people who had gone to Delhi to attend the event at Hazrat Nizamuddin. In Odisha, only 3 people have been identified. <div type="image" title="niz6" msid="74915687" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A driver wears a mask and protective suit as he moves towards the bus in which people who came for &amp;#8216;Jamat&amp;#8217; at Nizamuddin Mosque being taken to LNJP Hospital for COVID-19 test &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Of the ten people infected in Andaman, nine had attended the event, according to Abhijit Roy, deputy director of health in the state.

The buses sent to collect them had to make 34 round trips. <div type="twitter" handle="TelanganaCMO" handlename="Telangana CMO" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/493733709787308032/Zer8dZ3-_normal.jpeg" favoritecount="5028" retweetcount="2218" status="Six people from Telangana who attended a religious congregation at Markaz in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi from 13-1… https://t.co/qJi9J6pW3N" createdat="1585590792000" id="1244684114000662528"></div> Finding the missing links While it's easy to say that the gathering violated the lockdown parameters, the bigger question is why was nothing done about it. The Ministry of External Affairs issued the tourist visas for foreigners who wished to take part in the Tablighi Jamaat activities. The Delhi government and Delhi police were tasked with ensuring that their order should have been followed through. In fact, the Hazrat Nizamuddin Police Station is right next to the Nizamuddin Markaz. Delhi government claims that the gathering was a criminal act. The congregation should have dispersed once the the directive prohibiting public gathering under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 and the Delhi Epidemic Diseases COVID-19 Regulation, 2020 was in place. A case has been registered against Maulana Saad, head of the Tablighi Jamaat, and others officials of the group of defying the lockdown. <div type="image" title="niz3" msid="74915643" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi on March 31&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> "The lockdown was imposed imposed on March 24 and it was the duty of every owner and administrator of every hotel, guesthouse, hostel and similar establishment to maintain social distancing," said the government's statement. According to Markaz officials, no new people were allowed to enter the building after the lockdown was announced and as per Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement, they stay put instead of risking movement. They assert that the gathering had already begun before either Kerjiwal or Modi's lockdown announcements. The letter by Malauna Yusf on behalf of the Markaz mosque also pointed out that the Delhi government knew about the situation at Nizamuddin. The Health Ministry had found that on March 21, there were 1,746 people at Markaz of which 216 were foreigners, according to PTI. <div type="twitter" handle="ANI" handlename="ANI" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1497864299/ani_mic_logo_normal.jpg" favoritecount="10987" retweetcount="3044" status="Home Ministry has found violation of visa rules by foreigners who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Nizamuddin, Del… https://t.co/Rdrsj9GzGr" createdat="1585635328000" id="1244870910886047746"></div> Nizamuddin Coronavirus timeline The religious gathering begun on March 13 and Delhi's lockdown was only announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 16.

In addition, the Nizamuddin Sufi shrine is a tourist attraction where people gather in large numbers — from all across the country and the world. <div type="image" title="niza3" msid="74907944" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Medical camps set up in the Nizamuddin area&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Sealing off Nizamuddin Special teams have been deployed to track who came into contact with the deceased at the event, to test them for Coronavirus and ensure that they remain under quarantine until cleared. Drones are also being used to monitor the area around the Markaz building. The Telangana government also offered free tests and treatment to anyone who was at the event, if they came forward. To keep the infection from spreading, the entire area has been cordoned off by the police and paramilitary personnel. A screening camp has been established to keep track of any individual who exhibits symptoms of Coronavirus. A team of 54 workers and tankers has been deployed equipped with 30,000 litres of disinfectant. <div type="image" title="niz5" msid="74915741" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Delhi government has requested the Sports Authority of India to convert the Nehru Stadium into a quarantine centre to accomodate the hundreds of people who were present in Nizamuddin during the religious gathering.

Coronavirus cases in Assam The total number of confirmed Coronavirus cases in Assam is now 29.

Assam’s war against Coronavirus fake news The state has been locked in a battle against fake news and misinformation during the Coronavirus pandemic. The cyber cell and police force have been working together to monitor social media and have arrested 25 people for spreading fake information so far. Last week, fake news was spread on social media by the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy — a ministry that doesn’t really exist. The Assam Police had to issue an advisory telling people that the ‘Janasanyog Government Notification’ wasn’t real, asking people to stop circulating the same on social media. They also clarified that going forward all phone will be recorded and social media would be monitored by the authorities starting April 4. In another incident, a local Bengali newspaper Dainik Jugasanka, was booked for carrying fake news about the state’s first Coronavirus patient. Even though he was still admitted at the Silchar Medical College Hospital, the newspaper claimed that he had been cured and discharged. However, they did not verify that the patient had not yet tested negative in the second round of testing.

Assam Coronavirus cases rise to 16 after 3 Tablighi attendees test positive

New Delhi, Apr 19 () A noted lawyer of the Delhi High Court has offered his property in the posh Nizamuddin area to be used as a quarantine centre for doctors and medical professionals in the forefront of the COVID-19 fight. Advocate M Sufian Siddiqui offered his entire property in Nizamuddin West area having over 15 rooms, all fitted with modern amenities and attached bathrooms, for one month for free of cost. "Considerably, I am albeit cognizant of the fact that this humble offer of contribution in our nation's fight against the global pandemic may be a drop in the ocean. However, I am also conscious of the fact that at this climacteric, humanity needs solidarity," he said in identical letters addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The lawyer, who is known for giving pro bono services to the weak and marginalised sections of the society in the Delhi High Court, said this mammoth fight against the COVID-19 pandemic could only be countenanced to be won, if "we all stand united as one and act in solidarity" lest the entire humanity might have to pay an unfathomable price. "However, owing to the ubiquitous consternation looming across the globe including our country, I being a solicitous citizen am profoundly concerned about the frontline warriors viz. doctors, paramedics, nurses, health care workers, support staff who are selflessly and relentlessly working...by putting their lives in danger," he said. Siddiqui said the property, situated outside containment zones, has comfortable access for ambulance and is at a stone's throw away from the Hazrat Nizamuddin Police Station. It is also in close proximity to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in case the need arises to ambulate any quarantined person. "Consequently, at this crucial juncture, I earnestly feel that showing solidarity by strictly adhering to the instructions of the Government is sacrosanct to the very substratum of humanity. Hence, as a concerned citizen, I wholeheartedly feel that when the entire humanity is at peril then the service to the humanity being the greatest service indeed becomes indispensable, which would indubitably not only be in the national interest but also in the interest of the whole of humanity," he said. Thanking the Prime Minister and the Delhi Chief Minister for perspicacious leadership and all the frontline warriors for their selfless, relentless indefatigable hardwork for taking head on the overwhelming challenge of battling Global Pandemic COVID-19, he said it would be expedient that the premises may kindly be got evaluated on an exigent basis for the purpose of establishing a quarantine centre.

COVID-19: Delhi lawyer offers property to be used for quarantine centre for doctors, nurses

New Delhi, May 15 () The Delhi High Court was informed on Friday that the AAP government has decided to release the members of Tablighi Jamaat, who have completed mandatory quarantine and show no coronavirus symptoms.The submission was made at the outset of the hearing on a petition seeking release of nearly 3300 Tablighi Jamaat members, who have been put under various quarantine centers for nearly 40 days and not released despite negative reports of COVID-19.A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar, which conducted the hearing through video conferencing, was told by the counsel for the petitioner that they wish to withdraw the petition as the Delhi government has already directed for release of Tablighi Jamaat members who do not show any symptoms of COVID-19.The court allowed petitioner Sabiha Quadri, a social worker, to withdraw the plea.The plea, filed through advocate Shahid Ali, had alleged that many people have been illegally lodged in quarantine centers and submitted that several persons who are staying in those centers have written letters to the authorities but they have not been considered.It had sought direction to the authorities to comply with the guidelines of 14 days quarantine and to constitute a high level committee to enquire as to whether continuous confinement of members of Tablighi Jamaat is violative of the provisions of the Constitution.After being exposed to a large gathering on March 31 amid the COVID-19 or coronavirus lockdown many members of Tablighi Jamaat from Markaz Hazrat Nizamuddin were taken out by the authorities and lodged in different quarantine centres in Delhi. Some of them were sent to the centres a few days later after being detained from various mosques."A total of 3288 people from Tablighi Jamaat have been put under different quarantine centers and till date none has been released from there, despite the fact that they are not in any manner infected with the disease (coronavirus) and in case of many members, three consecutive reports with negative endorsement have come," the plea said.The Centre was represented through advocate Amit Mahajan in the proceedings.On May 6, the Delhi government had said the Tablighi Jamaat members who have completed mandatory quarantine and show no coronavirus symptoms can go home.In April, COVID-19 cases in Delhi spiked after hundreds of many Tablighi Jamaat members, who had attended a large congregation in Nizamuddin, tested positive. The other members were directly taken to quarantine centres to contain the spread of COVID-19. SKV HMP RKS RKSRKS
