Wanaparthy police impose strict lockdown measures

260 shop owners in the district booked for violating lockdown norms

With the fast-spreading of coronavirus infection in the remote villages of Wanaparthy district, the police have been strictly implementing lockdown measures restricting the movement of people and vehicles. District Superintendent of Police Apoorva Rao said movement of the people has been curtailed to a greater extent as the government guidelines are to allow only people in an emergency to come to the roads. She said that all establishments are closed by 10 a.m. and people in the district return to their home within a few minutes. The police are also counselling the lockdown violators not to venture out, Ms. Rao, who is monitoring the situation, said. She herself has gone to the interior villages and advised people to maintain physical distance, and take all precautions.
