NEW DELHI: Cabinet secretary Rajiv Gauba on Wednesday asked states to complete contact tracing of all Tablighi Jamaat members who attended events at the outfit’s Nizamuddin headquarters on a war footing and highlighted the risk it posed to efforts for containment of Covid-19.
In a meeting held via conferencing with chief secretaries and police chiefs of states, Gauba asked state police to initiate action against foreign Tablighi Jamaat preachers for having violated their ‘tourist’ visa conditions by indulging in ‘missionary’ work. They were also advised to take action against organisers of Tablighi conferences/sermons in their respective jurisdictions.
Gauba sensitised the chief secretaries and DGPs about intensive contact tracing of Tablighi Jamaat participan
