Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 18: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday has started its efforts trace and screen Rohingya Muslims and their contacts in Jammu and Samba districts of Jammu division.
The Union Home Ministry had yesterday asked all the states and UTs to screen Rohingya Muslims and their contacts.
“At least ten Rohingyas, who either had a travel history to Nizamuddin or had come in contact of those who had attended the markaz were quarantined in Nagrota and their clusters are under constant surveillance,” said a Police officer and added that many clusters of the Rohingya Muslims fall in the red zones of Jammu. “Their major clusters are in red zones, including Bhatindi and Sunjuwan,” he said.
“There are 431 Rohingya Muslims in Samba district. We have sent surveillance teams to their clusters. We will try to conduct on-the-spot tests with rapid-testing kits and if it does not work out then we will go for standard tests”, said the Police officer. The officer said that their movement was restricted and no one was being allowed to move out of their clusters. “In Samba district, Rohingyas largely live in shanties by the railway tracks in Bari-Brahmana area”, he added.
According to the home ministry, there are around 40,000 Rohingya refugees residing in different parts of the country, including in Delhi, Jammu and Hyderabad. |
