People from Pune who attended Nizamuddin gathering identified

Some people from Pune who had attended a religious congregation in New Delhi's Nizamuddin area had been traced and were being placed under quarantine, a police official said here on Tuesday night. Some of them were from neighbouring Pimpri-Chinchwad, he said.

"So far none of them has any coronavirus symptoms," said the senior police official on the condition of anonymity.

The gathering at Markaz Nizamuddin, the Delhi headquarters of the Tabligh-e-Jamaat, was held earlier this month. The Delhi government on Tuesday said 24 people, who took part in the congregation, have tested positive for coronavirus.
