A controversy broke out after Punjabi singer Kaur B alleged that a “quarantine” sicker was pasted outside her house, even as the health department claimed it happened due to a communication gap and that the sticker has been removed.

Kaur B alleged that some government officers came to her house on April 10 while she had been at her native village Navagaon for 15 days.

“I came to my village from Chandigarh 15 days ago. No one came to check me or my family. I am fine healthwise and understand the gravity of Covid-19 pandemic. On Friday, a team of health department came to the house. They checked me and my family and spread false news that they have quarantined me,” the singer alleged.

Moonak SMO Dr Rajesh Kumar said it all happened due to a communication gap as another team of another government department pasted the sticker on her gate without taking the opinion of the health department.

“When we examined her, she was fine and the sticker was removed immediately,” the SMO added.
