Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday appeal to the attendees of a congregation in the coronavirus-hotspot Tablighi Jamaat centre in Delhi and those who came in contact with them to voluntarily report for screening.

The chief minister also called upon people to cooperate in efforts against coronavirus spread and said that those who have travel history and have any symptoms should come forward.

This is in the interest of their own life and in the interest of entire humanity, society and the country, he said.

On the Tablighi Jamaat meet, he said, "The congregation should have stopped immediately. Action against those who are responsible for failing the objectives of the lockdown should be taken."
