New Delhi (NVI): Around 205 people, who were stranded at Majnu Ka Tilla Gurdwara in the National Capital have been shifted to a school in Nehru Vihar by Delhi Police, which has been turned into a quarantine center for them.
These people had walked to the Gurdwara which falls on Delhi Ring Road, from different places in Delhi and the NCR region. They were waiting for help from the administration or Government so that they can back to their homes in Punjab.
However, since the gathering of so many people at one place is highly risky during the coronavirus outbreak, Delhi Police shifted them to the Nehru Vihar school today in three buses, with each bus carrying 15 persons, in line with the protocols regarding social distancing amid Covid-19 outbreak.
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has made arrangements for food and shelter of the stranded persons who have been shifted to the school.
DSGMC President Manjinder Singh Sirsa also tweeted over the matter with a video message: “People belonging to Punjab from different places in Delhi had gathered at Gurdwara Majnu Ka Tilla Sahib. 205 of them have been shifted by the Delhi Government to Nehru Vihar School. We had requested the Delhi and Punjab Government to transport these people back to their homes so that their gathering at one place doesn’t increase the danger of Covid-19 spread.”

हमने दिल्ली और पंजाब सरकार से विनती की थी कि इन लोगों को उनके घरो तक पहुँचाया जाए ताकि इस इकट्ठ से #Covid19 का ख़तरा न फैले pic.twitter.com/exxWhorez6— Manjinder S Sirsa (@mssirsa) April 1, 2020
