Just CANE them and send them home. Don’t waste any resources on them. CANE THEM HARD, they won’t do it again.

Send them to the quarantine centres as helpers.

Register name and address and release them with a warning. Second time offenders impose heavy fines above Rs.10,000. Third time send to prison!
