MUMBAI: Acting on BMC’s complaint, the Powai police on Thursday registered an FIR against a woman for violating quarantine rules and leaving her apartment that was sealed after the detection of a positive case on the same floor. Civic officials said that in the wake of rising cases, those violating quarantine norms will be dealt with sternly.
The woman, a resident of Everest Heights in Powai, was seen leaving her apartment on the 17th floor despite the floor being sealed by health officials. On February 14, officials had sealed the floor after a 48-year-old man had tested positive for Covid-19. The officials had also put up a banner stating that the floor was sealed, which means residents shouldn’t leave their homes before the completion of 14 days.
