When a group of health workers reached Kasaibada area in Lucknow’s Sadar Bazaar on Sunday to screen residents for coronavirus, the locals allegedly misbehaved with the team of medical staff.

The Sadar Bazaar area was recently sealed by the police after a group of Tablighi Jamaat participants, who had attended the infamous congregation in Delhi’s Nizamuddin, were found living at a mosque in the locality.

On Sunday, the health workers visited the locality to examine people residing near the mosque. Locals stopped them from entering the locality and created a ruckus.

The locals alleged that they were not able to get food and other essential supplies and thus they won’t let any surveyors in the area.

12 people from the area were found coronavirus positive after they attended the Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddn Markaz.

Following the identification of the large number of coronavirus cases, the area was completely sealed preventing entry and exit of all people in the area. Only medical workers have been allowed to enter the area.

It has been alleged that on Sunday the locals heckled the health workers and even tore their identification cards.

Earlier, similar incidents were reported in Indore and Bengaluru when health workers visited certain clusters to examine the locals in these areas. The locals refused to let them in and misbehaved with the health workers.
