With citizens blatantly flaunting COVID-19 rules and positive cases rising by the day, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has requisitioned 2,000 home guards to help with its enforcement drive. BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta told The Hindu that this was discussed during a review meeting chaired by Chief Secretary P. Ravi Kumar on Saturday. He said that the 2,000 home guards will be in addition to the contingent of marshals as well as police personnel already deputed to enforce rules. He had written to the Director General of Police and Commandant General (Home Guards) in this regard. “The 2,000 home guards would be attached to the 108 police stations in the city. Each police station will have 20 home guards,” he said.More Related News
