Fatehgarh Sahib. April 08, 2020: To motivate and boost the morale of the police and civil employees working round the clock to enforce curfew restrictions and providing health facilities in remote rural areas in wake of the COVID-19 threat, Deputy Commissioner Amrit Kaur Gill and SSP Amneet Kondal are jointly touring the villages especially those sealed villages, which were visited by the two Jamaati women who were found positive.
