Kangan: A Kangan family was quarantined for two weeks today after some of their relatives from Bandipora’s red zone visited them.
Reports said that three persons from an area in Bandipora that authorities have declared a red zone visited a family in Sidra Cherwan area of Kangan town here in Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
As the news spread in the area, that people hailing from a red zone are present in a house, the trio were immediately sent back to Bandipora while all the 9 members of the family were quarantined.
Sub-Divisional Magistrate Kangan Hakim Tanvir told KNT that they don’t want to take any chance and thus quarantined the whole family for 14 days. “Their samples will be taken and till the reports arrive, they will stay in quarantine,” the SDM said. (KNT)
