Stressing the importance of social distancing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Home department has said that only one person from a family should go out for shopping from a nearby shop.
The state’s government has issued a directive to grocery shop owners to keep their shops open from 10 am to 2 pm daily.
Urging people to stay indoors and to come out only for buying essential goods, it asked the residents to maintain social distancing even at shops.
Mentioning that the district administration and police were keeping an eye on the situation, the department cautioned that strict action would be taken against anyone found engaged in non-essential travel.
The district administrations have enforced regulations while volunteers of respective tribal bodies in the districts with personnel from police and district administration are restricting people’s and traffic movement.
