Jaffna Magistrate Court ordered nine persons including the driver of a vehicle engaged in transporting essential goods from Colombo- Jaffna after police found that he had helped others to travel to Jaffna without curfew pass or medical certificates.
Initiating legal action, Jaffna police produced all nine individuals before Magistrate Courts yesterday. Jaffna Magistrate Anthony Saamy Peter Paul ordered them to undergo two week long mandatory quarantine in Vidaththalpalai Army camp and instruct police to self isolate their respective families.
Individuals who came from Colombo via traveling in vehicles and walking for miles told the police that they were working in Colombo as labourers and the current islandwide curfew forced them to take up their own passage to join with their families.
