Talking to reporters after chairing the meeting of the District Disaster Management Authority, he said they need to strictly enforce the lockdown norms to stop unnecessary travel by people and ensure proper compliance with norms including wearing masks, and social distancing. “If people do not cooperate with us in enforcement of norms, then the high positivity rate will force the State government to continue lockdown in the region,” he said.
