The application said that the community has now identified an additional two alternate places of accommodation, which may be used in the future, if need be, to house any of the 955 foreign nationals in question.

The Delhi High Court, in an order, passed on May 28 allowed the 955 foreign nationals to shift, who attended the congregation at Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddin area here, to alternate places of accommodation.

The community had already consented to bear all costs for shifting accommodation and further duly notify the Delhi Police of the whereabouts of the foreign nationals.

Earlier, the Tablighi Jamaat took the responsibilities for arranging food and daily needs of the foreign nationals, who have been directed not to leave their respective places without intimation.

The central government said that none of the foreign nationals are under detention and the relief to fly back home has not been pressed.

Lawyers had earlier sought that all foreign nationals who have been tested negative for COVID-19 and are in quarantine should be released and sent to alternate place of accommodation.
