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.

I am 100% confident that your father was actually a father in Church. Your love to Muslims is because of their love to your sister.

I am 100% confident that this cow matha thief is BD activist and this is their daily duty. They steal cows and blames on muslims/christians. In most of the cases stolen cows are transported to Gujrat beef exporting factories owned by Pandits/Brahmins with bjp leaders as partners. this thief got just punishment from the cow itself, otherwise police would have said that he purchased the cow and was taking it home.

COW JIHADIST.
The cow was a PFI/SDPI worker, according to BJP leaders.
