They will go to work in city today enforcing wearing of face masks and social distancing in public places
Nearly a month after it was announced, Home Guards will start work on Monday as COVID-19 marshals to enforce wearing of face masks and keeping social distancing in public places in urban areas of Dakshina Kannada. They will work along with bill collectors and health inspectors of Mangaluru City Corporation.
Corporation Commissioner Akshy Sridhar said that Home Guards were on election duty in Kerala and hence, there was delay in deploying them as COVID-19 marshals. While 50 Home Guards have been assigned to the corporation, 30 commenced work on Saturday itself creating awareness among the general public. “A detailed guideline for their working will be released shortly,” Mr. Sridhar told
