Cash offered to collect information about Jamaatis hiding in UP

Lucknow,April 11(HS)As appeal by Uttar Pradesh Chier minister Yogi Adityanath to members of Tablighi Jamaat who are hiding in diffrent places in the state to come out for medial check-up has gone unheeded ,authorities in some districts have come out with a new plan to achieve this goal.

They have announced reward for those who inform about them.It was Meerut district administration first which had announced the cash incentive.It had offered reward of Rs 5000.It is not yet known how successful the move was,but as one more district has announced reward it must have been a success story.

Bullandshahr district,after Meerut,has offered cash incentive.The amount has been doubled to Rs 10,000.The exact number of Jammatis hiding in the state is not known but the number may not be small.

The reason is that Uttar Pradesh is close to Delhi where a meeting of the Jamaatis was held.After police action many of them are believed to have found shelter in mosques and other places in the state.

As the deadline for coming out of hiding is over legal action may be taken against those who are found corona positive and who had spread the disease.

The government is desperating trying to locate them as the number of positive cases has crossed 400-mark.Four persons have died so far.
