With one new Covid-19 case reported from Mira Bhayandar's Naya Nagar, the police and Mira Bhayandar corporation's worries have only grown as they have so far been able to trace only two of the 15 people who have returned from Delhi's Nizamuddin Makraj congregation held in March.
According to official reports, some of the remaining people have left their residences in Mira-Bhayandar.
Around 2,000 people attended the event in Delhi and returned to various states including Maharashtra. Mira Bhayandar municipal corporation received a list of 15 attendees with their names and mobile numbers from the collector's office. A search operation to trace them is on.
"MBMC could trace only two persons from the Tablighi congregation - one of them is a Christian woman who returned to Bhayandar on March 21 but she doesn't have any link with Tablighi congregation. Another person had returned to Delhi from Japan and has a certificate of having completed his quarantine in Delhi. But as a precautionary measure, both of them have been kept in quarantine," said Chandrakant Dange, commissioner of Mira-Bhayandar corporation.
"There is no need to panic. But we have appealed to all citizens to stay at home. We have received a few more names and the civic corporation and police are tracing them," said Dange.
