Cases under non-bailable clauses will be booked against those attacking, misbehaving with enforcement authorities: Kamal Pant
After a terrifying second wave of the pandemic that saw Bengaluru come to a near standstill in May, some level of normality will be restored from Monday, with malls, prayer halls and temples, offices, and shops re-opening. To ensure that this does not trigger an increase in the positivity rate, 54 COVID-19-appropriate behaviour (CAB) enforcement teams, each with four marshals and one Home Guard or police constable, have been constituted by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). The lockdown over the past few months has helped bring down the number of positive cases in the city from over 20,000 a day to around 700. Enforcement agencies are hoping to keep it that way. On Saturday, a joint meeting between BBMP officials and senior police personnel was held at Town Hall, chaired by both BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta and Police Commissioner Kamal Pant to discuss the way forward.More Related News
