The CMO further asked the police to act against the miscreants as it is becoming hard to treat these people.

Hours after Delhi government wrote to capital's police commissioner seeking deployment of adequate police force at the quarantine centres and hospital where people who attended the Tablighi Jamaat event in Nizamuddin Markaz have been kept, adjoining Ghaziabad's Chief Medical Officer (CMO) has written to the local police saying that the Jammat attendees have been roaming nude inside the MMG district hospital and making lewd gestures and remarks at the nurses.

In the letter, the CMO said that the inmates who have been put under observation are misbehaving with the hospital staff. 

"The Jamaati patients have been roaming around without pants and listening to obscene music. They are asking the staff to provide them bidis and cigarette and making lewd gestures at female staff. The nursed have submitted a written complaint in this regard," the letter read.

The CMO further asked the police to act against the miscreants as it is becoming hard to treat these people.

Earlier today, the Delhi government sought the deployment of adequate police force at the hospitals and quarantine centres in Delhi. The patients, especially those transferred from Nizamuddin Markaz, are creating a law and order problem.

In a letter to Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava, the Health and Family Welfare Department of the Delhi government said that it is becoming difficult for the hospital staff to handle the situation.

n Wednesday, Northern Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Deepak Kumar said that occupants of the Tughalakabad Quarantine Centre who attended the religious congregation at Nizamuddin, 'misbehaved and abused' the staff present there, and spat on doctors attending them.
