People make most of lockdown relaxations announced in Kerala till Tuesday
The City Police on Sunday resorted to stringent legal action against shop owners and customers who flouted the COVID-19 protocol while trying to take advantage of the lockdown relaxations announced by the State government till Tuesday. On S.M. Street, 70 persons, including 14 traders, were booked for violating physical distancing norms. Considering the uncontrolled rush, some wayside traders were denied permission to carry out sales along the street. The call to follow a token system was ignored by many traders citing technical difficulties. By Sunday evening, the police deployment was strengthened near major shopping centres and streets to enforce physical distancing norms. Senior citizens and children found in public places were asked to go home. The police issued warnings to families that took children below the age of 10 years and senior citizens with them for shopping.More Related News
