Rural police warn of stern action against those violating norms
The Ernakulam Rural police have closed the district borders with barricades and strengthened security from Friday midnight just hours before the State-wide lockdown kicked in. While cargo vehicles dealing in essential commodities will be allowed inter-district passage, the rest will be stopped and turned away unless they produce relevant pass or are eligible for exemptions as announced by the government. “Vehicles of those who fail to produce relevant documents will be confiscated. Stern action will be taken against those found outside without justifiable reasons. Crowding of all sorts will remain banned,” said K. Karthik, District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural).More Related News
