Though the district administration imposed curfew in and around the city, residents were seen roaming inside gardens till evening here on Monday. Taking preventive measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, Municipal Corporation Commissioner Komal Mittal gave the directions to ban the entry of residents in the gardens and lock the gates.
The police on Tuesday checked gardens and removed those sitting in parks and other public areas. A number of homeless and drug addicts reside inside the gardens. Police officials claimed that they were shifted to night shelters and now entry was prohibited in the gardens.
Komal Mittal, Commissioner, MC, has put a ban on the entry of residents in the public gardens and written to the Police Commissioner for appropriate action.
It is worth mentioning here that a large number of residents were still following their daily routine by walking inside the gardens. After the ban, the residents were not allowed to enter the gardens.
Darsahn Lal, a resident, said, “I have been going out for a morning walk for the last 40 years at Company Bagh. It was the first time that I took a break in my routine. The police did not allow us to go out even in the morning.
