Pratidin Bureau

So next time you violate the prescribed protocol for Covid-19 in city, thinking that it's unmanned, just ponder over your move again! You are being monitored by the policemen in civil uniform.

You might feel happy to break the guidelines but it may soon end up in a sad moment as there are strong chances you could get caught just a few meters away where the police men could greet you with a hafty fine! Yes, this is the new strategy of city cops in Guwahati to keep an eye on those who have the habit of violating Covid-19 rules.

This was informed by Guwahati Police Commissioner Munna Prasad Gupta. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday directed the Chief Secretary to take necessary steps for enforcing strong action against violators of COVID-19 protocol including those who do not wear masks and maintain social distancing norms.

The Chief Minister asked the Chief Secretary to issue a direction in this regard to the Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police in a meeting held at his office conference room to discuss the COVID-19 situation in the state on Monday.
