Tarn Taran, April 13

These days, Tarn Taran SSP Dhruv Dahiya spends his most of time on roads in the district. He remains on field duty from 6 am to 8 pm. In the city, he covers all police stations and district headquarters to take feedback from police personnel working at the grassroots level.

He often goes door to door to meet needy persons and to know their issues related to the availability of essential commodities. In Tarn Taran and Patti, he, along with police teams, takes flag marches twice a day. Moreover, the SSP takes out a flag march in rural area while covering police stations in the afternoon.

Before the lockdown was announced, he had appointed 547 Village Police Officers (VPOs) to keep a watch on all villages. Elderly and youngsters, along with VPOs, guard entry points of their villages. Through the public address system, the VPOs have been apprising villagers of social distancing norms and urging them to stay indoors.

On SSP’s instructions, various police officers meet needy persons to know their daily requirements such as ration. ASI Manjit Singh, incharge of the Doburji police post, said he had 150 packets of ration, which would be distributed among needy persons. Inter-district boundaries have been closed in Tarn Taran. Only vehicles carrying essential items on the national highway are allowed to pass.

The SSP said, “Though police personnel are busy enforcing the curfew imposed to contain the spread of Covid, they work to maintain law and order. As many as 430 cases have been registered against 660 persons for violating curfew norms in the past 12 days.”
