Your walking a few steps means the country leaping few hundred miles in the fight with coronavirus, said the Keonjhar SP in his Twitter handle when this correspondent sought his views whether police would relax lockdown timing to enable people to collect their provisions.
It was further mentioned in the twitter that the police want the people to visit the nearest shops without using vehicles.
However, sources close to Deepak Ram and Suresh Chandra Parida, shopkeepers dealing with groceries and snacks and food items near Shirajwiddin Chowk in Keonjhar town, revealed that police had detained them on their way to open the shops on March 25, the very first day of the lockdown after the declaration of CM Naveen Patnaik and PM Modi.
However, they said after giving so many clarification at last they were freed but their staffers didn't turn up due to police intimidation. They urged the police to declare relax in the schedule of curfew so that people get their daily provisions free of fear.
