Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar on Sunday said that people may use vehicles to buy essentials during the 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. window and return home by 10 a.m. during the fortnight-long lockdown that becomes effective on Monday. However, as far as possible, people are advised to visit nearby shops by foot and avoid using vehicles, Mr. Kumar said in a statement here. Even though the district administration has asked industrial establishments in the region to make transport arrangements for their employees, staff of those establishments which could not make such arrangements may travel in their own vehicles after showing their identity cards. Some establishments have arranged for vehicles to transport their employees, the Commissioner said.
