Stay Home, Stay Safe - Council paints catchy message on roads for violators
Ferozepur, April 23, 2020: The Municipal Council has taken a different initiative for the curfew violators on the roads, by painting the message – Stay Home Stay Safe – in Punjabi language.
Hundreds of curfew violators have been booked by the police who don’t understand the gravity of the situation in the wake pandemic coronavirus.
So far, in Ferozepur there is only one +ve corona case, that too, detected at Ludhiana. The person was working as gunman with ACP Kohil who unfortunately died fighting with the decese – and later on came to his native village Wada Bhai Ka and now kept in isolation ward in Civil Hospital. He is however, hale and hearty and doing regular exercises besides hospital treatment and sure to defeat the virus with his will power.
Sukhpal Singh, SI said, we are regularly sanitizing the city to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the city and also taken the initiative to pain on the road a message for the violators. He said, the dedicated staff of MC is working day and night to sanitize the city and door-to-door collection of the garbage.
He also made an appeal to the citizens to remain at home for the sake of themselves and also for the frontline workers on the road. He said we all should take care during this lockdown period otherwise the global statistics itself speak of the consequences – as you sow, so shall you reap.
With the imposition of lockdown-curfew as preventive measures to prevent the transmission of novel coronavirus, most of us are under stay at home orders. But still the violators are still out of their homes and on the road without any valid reasons and police have booked few such persons and released with a warning.
Speaking to one of the cop on duty on the road, the people made different excuses to come out during the lockdown period, risking not their own lives but other also on duty like us. We know that stopping them would cause unnecessary fear but if the person having proper valid curfew pass is OK and those who are not having and moving with properly wearing masks and keeping the sanitizers with them to disinfect hands frequently and going for the valid reasons are not objected as there is already a enough fear out of coronavirus.
