BENGALURU: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday took more steps to ensure safety of healthcare workers after an incident of violence was reported in a sealed locality in the city. “This behaviour of rowdyism and taking law in hands will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken to ensure it does not happen again," Yediyurappa said, adding that 54 people have been been arrested following the incident.
He said the city police commissioner has been told to ensure safety of Asha workers and other officials. Several people in Padarayanapura, largely inhabited by people with low incomes, allegedly attacked health workers who were there to escort over 50 people to quarantine.
