MUMBAI: Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh said on Thursday that due to the alertness of the state police, a Tablighi Jamaat-type incident that took place in Delhi was averted.An organisation belonging to the Jamaat had asked the state for permission to hold a meet on March 14-15 in Vasai and the local police had given permission on February 5, but the permission was later revoked on March 6 in the backdrop of the coronavirus outbreak."Nearly 50,000 people were supposed to attend the event. We could avert a Delhi like incident because we had rejected permission for the event due to the outbreak of coronavirus and also ensured that the organisers do not hold the meet without permission," said Deshmukh. Maharashtra government has been ensuring that no large gatherings are held or permission for the same are given.
