The residents and workers at the granite factory, who came to know about the entry of labourers informed the matter to the officials of the Health Department, who rushed to the granite factory and conducted an inspection. The officials took the 10 labourers in a vehicle to a hostel where they have been put under quarantine.

These labourers had applied for permission in the Seva Sindhu portal and the district administration had denied permission, but still, they came from Tamil Nadu, it is said.
