To prevent the spread of Covid among police personnel, the Police Department has taken steps to minimise the number of persons coming to police stations.

While the main gate of all 16 police stations in the district will remain closed, only the small gate will be kept open.

People have been advised to file their complaints either online or drop it in the ultraviolet rays-enabled complaint boxes at police stations. Besides, ‘Mitra Kaksh’ in all the police stations has been asked to accept the complaints.

“We have taken some steps as precaution to curtail the spread of Covid among police personnel. The main gate will remained closed to avoid mass gathering at the police stations. Only the small gates will be kept open. Barring emergency cases, single persons will be allowed to drop the complaint in the ultraviolet rays-enabled complaint boxes,” said Surinder Singh Bhoria, Superintendent of Police (SP).

He maintained that a policeman has been deployed at the entrance for thermal scanning along with ensuring the sanitisation of the person coming to the police station. The UV rays-enabled box works as a disinfectant, he added.

“We want to encourage people to file online complaints instead of coming to police stations. As soon as the complaint is received, the police personnel concerned will interact with the complainant for further investigation and action,” said the SP. He appealed to the people to file complaints online to avoid gathering at police stations.
