Ludhiana: To check the spread of Covid-19, the government has imposed multiple restrictions. But one round of the city’s markets shows that the police administration has completely failed in enforcement of Covid norms. There are no checks to ensure people entering shops are wearing masks, using sanitisers or maintaining appropriate distance.
During the first wave of the coronavirus, the police had deployed volunteers at different markets and had also appointed Covid monitors in shops. These volunteers and monitors ensured that the visitors followed norms.
The TOI visited markets in Old City, Sarabha Nagar, Dugri, Ghumar Mandi, Mall Road and Jawahar Nagar and found norms being run over.
