Attari: Sikh devotees spilled out their anger on the authorities of the health department after they were asked to undergo COVID-19 test at the Integrated Check Post (ICP), Attari, upon return from Pakistan where they had gone to celebrate Baisakhi on April 12.
In wake of the alarming situation of COVID-19 in Pakistan, the health department in India had stationed as many as four teams for conducting Rapid Antigen Tests of all the 816 devotees who returned on Thursday (April 22) from Pakistan.
Tired after ten days of pilgrimage and in a hurry to go home, many pilgrims allegedly manhandled the staff of the health department and even tore their records and many entered into heated verbal dual with them.
