New Delhi, Apr 1 (IANS): The number of coronavirus positive cases linked to the Nizamuddin Markaz where the Tablighi Jamaat held a congregation of thousands has risen to 93.

Due to this, there has been a big spike in India's number of cases and on Tuesday, 146 new cases were reported by the Union Health Ministry.

This takes the total number of COVID-19 positive cases to 1,397 in India, including 1,238 active cases and 35 deaths while 124 persons have been cured.

In Delhi, the total number of cases reached 120 on Tuesday, with 23 new cases getting reported in the last 24 hours.

According to the Delhi Health Department, among the 23 new cases, eight people had foreign travel history, seven had contact history and eight were under investigation.

A total of 24 people have tested positive from the Nizamuddin Markaz Masjid so far. From the Markaz, while 441 were taken to hospitals, 1,447 have been put on quarantine.

Tamil Nadu is witnessing a spike in the number of positive cases from the Nizamuddin event as 50 attendees have tested positive, Tamil Nadu Health Secretary Beela Rajesh said.

The state government also said that out of 1,131 people who returned to the state from Delhi, where the around 1,800-strong congregation was held, 515 have been traced while the remaining 616 have been asked to self-report.

Similar exercise is on in Telangana where six people who returned from Delhi have died and teams are visiting some of these people at their homes in Hyderabad.

    Any congregation, religious or otherwise, is the exact anti-thesis of social distancing the battle against coronavirus demands. Whether the church cult in South Korea, prayer service in Louisiana church, Tablighi Jamaat gathering, super-spreader Punjab preacher or Yogi Adityanath in Ayodhya – there is neither divine cover nor forgiveness for human stupidity.

    Vishal, sk, Sandhya, Ranga,

    Do you know what is the crowd size that joined Mr. Modi to welcome Mr. Trump? It was crowd of 1,00,000. Do you know how many of them had already been effected by the virus? Didn’t the Modi or his Governemnt know that India already had Covid-19 caases in various places since end of January itself.
    Ranga, Can you confirm that this crowd is not responsible for spreading the virus?
    Sandhya, Even though this crowd people don’t take freebies, can you assure me that other people are not vulnerable to getting effected by this crowd?
    Sk, Do you still think fools belong to any particular community?
    Vishal, Dosnt this people live in this country, they breathe the air of this country, yet they do not have the welfare of this nation at heart? Are these people not unworthy?

    Why do you people hide something to suit your agenda? Be courageous.

    First of all you should be thankful to be an Indian.
    Here everyone have freedom of speech to express.
    If the same thing u would have told or written against any other countries like your Kuwait. M sure they would have put you behind bars. From yesterday u r trying to defend your stand that whatever happened in markaz was the fault of full administration and govt. But the fact is the mistake was from both the side. Instead of wasting time on posting hate speech better go and do some ground reality. Lot of facts are available now in many news channel and social media.
    Be mature and be courageous to accept the fact.

    PB,
    Alhamdulillah i am thankful that i am an Indian. And certianly i dont need any reminder from anyone. I know what is my duty as an Indian. Iam thankful to the Constitution of India that allows every citizen of India to put his views in the light of facts and in sound manner. But whenever i bring the complete picture to the fore, you peole just feel uneaasy and accuse me of hate speech. Take any of my earlier comments if something is untrue. Where did you find hate speech in my above comment?

    One has to practice before preaching.

    Namaste Trump was on Feb 24th. The COVID 19 hit Indian shores in the 2nd week after 16th March when foreigners and NRIs visited India., especially Kasargodians who bought it into Ktaka. As usual the common factor was predominent. It did not originate from Gujarat where the Namaste Trump was held. Now you see all State govts race to curb spread as hundreds from Tablighi meet who show symptoms. Meanwhile in a place called Al Ras in Dubai is on a 24 hour lock down for 2 week, and its densely populated by the Kasargodians.

    When the whole country is remaining indoors with the sole resolve to drive away the Corona, it is unconscionable that a group of people hold such meetings in defiance of the government orders.

    They live in this country, they breathe the air of this country, yet they do not have the welfare of this nation at heart.

    I wouldn't hesitate to condemn this deplorable action - indeed I would call it a terrorist act. Such people should be dealt in the manner a terrorist would be dealt with. Their forefathers - so many of them - laid down their lives for India's independence and just see what these unworthy fellows are doing. A deplorable and shameful act.

    Don't you have anything else to say other than freebies? You are repeating it daily. What freebies they received?. Even if they received, I am sure you also received freebies more than them.
