KTR has on Tuesday said that the authorities are diligently tracing the contacts of the 1000 attendees from Telangana who attended a religious meet in Delhi's Nizamuddin earlier this month.

"The matter is a concern for us," KTR told ANI amid reports that there has been a spike in the number of positive cases in parts of India in the last 24 hours.

Reports say that several preachers who had attended the Nizamuddin meet subsequently preached at some mosques in Hyderabad. All the attendees of these gatherings would have to be traced.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Commissioner has said that a case has been registered against Maulana Saad and others of Tableeghi Jamaat under Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 and other sections of IPC for violation of government directions given to the management of Markaz of Basti Nizamuddin, regarding restrictions on gatherings.
