Talking about the decision of exempting shops from lockdown, Jha said, “If more than four people gather and social-distancing is violated then they may face strict action. It is also necessary to wear a mask as well as hand gloves if possible while buying essential items. Despite relaxations, people should not loiter unnecessarily during the lockdown. Furthermore, legal actions will be taken if more than 1 person is traveling on two-wheelers and more than 2 people in four-wheelers.”

With the beginning of Ramadan, Jha appealed to the citizens to not gather at religious places. According to Jha, “The police will monitor these places with the help of drones and if people are found violating the lockdown then legal action will be taken against them. Patrolling is being done by the police in most areas while the interiors of the city are being patrolled on motorcycles.”
