Patrolmen out to enforce night curfew in Telangana

Hyderabad: As the clock started ticking towards the curfew time, Telangana Police patrol cars came onto the streets at 8 pm to strictly enforce the night curfew that was enforced from Tuesday night to contain the spread of Covid-19 virus.

A few hours after Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar issued the orders to enforce night curfew from 9 pm to 5 am, police personnel in their patrol cars visited commercial establishments under their respective jurisdictions and informed shopkeepers about the orders issued by the government to contain the Covid spread.

Using portable public address systems, the police explained to the shop owners to adhere to the safety norms and close the shops by 8 pm as prescribed by the government in the GO Ms No87 issued on Tuesday.

As per GO, offices, firms, shops, restaurants and other establishments should be closed at 8 pm except hospitals, diagnostic labs and pharmacies along with those dealing with essential commodities.

Stern action against violators
Seeking cooperation from shopkeepers, a police patrol team from the Marredpally police station asked them to help in effective enforcement of the night curfew in the larger interest of people. The team also explained the G.O. 87 and warned of stern action against violators.
