Police squads active at 51 points within city limits
A three-day special vehicle checking drive is under way in Kozhikode city to ensure that all motorists follow lockdown regulations. The drive ordered by District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) A.V. George will ensure that no non-emergency service enters the city limits in the wake of the heightened vigil against the pandemic. A team of Assistant Commissioners and Station House Officers will lead the drive and instantly impound vehicles used for non-emergency purposes. Such impounded vehicles will be released only after the lockdown period on payment of the pre-fixed fine. The squads will also ensure that no emergency services are interrupted during the flash checking hours. In Kozhikode city limits, the squads are now active at 51 points to verify the travel details of passengers. Apart from deploying patrol vehicles, police officers will remain alert along National and State highways to track pleasure riders. Action will be taken on the basis of visuals collected from various surveillance cameras, drones and camera-mounted control room vehicles if the drivers do not stop vehicles at check points.More Related News
