The Station House Officer, Samba, Suraj Pathania today on the directives of SSP and Additional SP of the district Samba constituted a motor cycle squad of police which will go to every street of Samba town and check whether the lock down is maintained in letter and spirit or not. It will take action against the violators in accordance with rules.
SHO Samba, Pathania said since the announcement of lockdown he continuously made appeals to the general public of the area to stay in their houses to stay safe, but some people are continuously violating the lockdown and come out from their houses and gather on the streets.
When police reaches them they fled inside the streets and police could not chase them as vehicles can’t enter the narrow lanes. Hence the motorcycle squad was constituted to track down such people.
