“We appeal to young officers to fully understand the SOPs and treat business community with due respect, in these challenging times there is lot of mental stress due to the pandemic and its economic fallouts, administration should be extending helping hand and appreciate that to maintain essential and other supplies, business community is also risking lives just like other Corona warriors.
Neeraj appealed to the administration to expedite sanitisation and random Covid-19 sample collections from high foot fall markets.
