Bengaluru, Jun 28: Criminal cases will be lodged against people for not adhering to the COVID-19 protocol in the city, said a top police official on Sunday.
"Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) and BBMP (officials) are on the streets to enforce wearing of mask and social distancing. Warnings now, criminal cases will follow," said Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao.
He exhorted people to insist on everybody wearing a mask and maintaining social distance.
"Urge every Bengalurean to enforce mask enforcement and social distancing. If people argue, call 100. We are ready to respond to your calls," said Rao.
Assuring the city residents, he said one should not worry about others being high and mighty while making sure everybody follows the Covid precautions.
"Don't bother about high and mighty factor, whosoever it is, just tell people around you to wear mask and not hanging around neck," said the Commissioner.
On Saturday, DCP Rohini Katoch Sepat conducted a special drive to ensure everybody is following the Covid rules.
"Conducted a special drive along with BBMP marshals, imposed fine for not wearing mask and social distancing," said Sepat.
The senior police officer had also sealed down some shops for not conforming to the social distancing directions.
Sepat personally made announcements through a megaphone, spoke to shopkeepers, pedestrians and walked the streets in enforcing the rules.
Similarly, Rao also warned commercial establishments of raids and legal action in the event of Covid rules violation.
"Shops, malls, banks, hotels, offices and establishments. All of you are already aware of precautions to be taken. If you do not implement mask wearing and ensure safe distance, city police will raid and initiate legal action," asserted Rao.
On Friday, Bengaluru North DCP Shashi Kumar closed down some shops which did not follow Covid rules and rewarded some shopkeepers who adhered to them with roses.

You are only fit to work in drama company.
ya coz jet is airliner not a tv serial production company..... and am sure they dont regret their decision of rejecting u after watching your serial and for that matter by your poor performance in cabinet...... ha ha ha ha........
Fair and professional decision by Jet Airways, and your history made by PM Modi not by your eligibility.
Even though Jet could not recognize your personality, MODI has identified and rewarded your personality .....Good luck,.
JET airways didn't have MODI to hire you..!
MODI proved that one of the worst cabinet he have.
