503 including 72 foreigners who attended Nizamuddin event traced in state: Hry Home Minister Vij

Haryana's Home Minister Anil Vij said on Wednesday that 503 people, including 72 foreigners, who attended the Tabligh-e-Jamaat congregation in Delhi's Nizamuddin area earlier this month have been traced in the state.

He said that health teams are at their job after Haryana police traced the congregation attendees in various districts including Gurgaon and Ambala.

On the purpose of this group entering Haryana, the minister said that after attending the congregation they are assigned duties and sent to different places across India to preach. "They stay in mosques, go to people's homes and hold meetings."
Vij, who also holds the Health Department portfolio, said, "503 of them came to Haryana and those include 72 foreigners. Among those, who are to be quarantined or isolated is being decided by the health teams."
About reports that the group could have entered Haryana after the lockdown was imposed, Vij replied, "Then action will be taken according to law."
