Over 800 tourists from the UK have entered Rajasthan in the past one week, and their tracking and tracing remains a huge challenge for both the health officials as well as the police, who have pitched in to help track them.
Many of the visitors' addresses and phone numbers furnished in their contact details are wrong. Official orders may be put in to ascertain that those hiding their contact details shall be penalised, said health officials.
"Even the mobile numbers furnished in the list provided by the central government comprise nine digits due to which it has become difficult for us to trace them. The other numbers are of their UK address which when contacted failed to give their addresses in India," said Narottam Sharma, CMHO, Jaipur.
