It was made clear that these officials are not allowed to leave their stations and shall always remain available on phone and email for contact in case the officials call them at office.

They are also not allowed to meet their relatives and acquaintances and they also cannot attend any social activity.

The authority cleared that legal action will be taken against the officials in case they violate the guidelines of GMADA and PUDA.
