The deadly coronavirus has engulfed numerous people in its jaws already, and is continuing to do so, even as the numbers seem to stabilising. The second wave of the pandemic saw strings of lockdowns imposed once again in several parts of the country, with some places witnessing total curfews and some witnessing only partial or night curfews.

However, one section of the society that is not able to sit at home and protect them is that of the policemen. And the main reason behind this can be attributed to people roaming around aimlessly on the streets.

UNIQUE WAY TO KEEP THE PEOPLE INDOORS

In a bid to spread awareness about the deadly Coronavirus amid the lockdown in Hyderabad, police officers came up with a unique way as they were spotted wearing Coronavirus-shaped helmets while patrolling the streets.

At first blush, this may seem scary but it was absolutely necessary to rein in the “free-spirits” who can’t be made to stay indoors even by the deadly virus. This special and unique step was taken with an intention to raise awareness about the dangerous illness and the importance of taking safeguards against it.

The officers wore coronavirus shaped helmets in a bid to raise awarness

As per the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner, IPS Mr. Anjani Kumar, the police assessed the implementation of the lockdown in Mahedipatnam’s West Zone at the market check station. As part of the inspection, police officials wore helmets representing the virus.

He stated in an interview, “The benefits of the lockdown can only be achieved with the co-operation of the people. Ninety-nine percent of the city’s population was following lockdown guidelines. The lockdown is being implemented on strong grounds for the past 15 days and police are on 24×7 duties at 180 check-posts across the city. On a daily basis, nearly about 7,000 to 8,000 violation cases are being registered against the violators. About 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles are being seized.”

The practice seems to be a success

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

The Hyderabad Police also ran their own awareness campaign to sensitize the local residents and make them understand the importance of staying indoors.

The campaign read, “The Hyderabad City Police is working hard and it is the responsibility of citizens to stay at their homes not come outside unnecessarily. It is informed that all the restrictions are implemented for the benefit and safety of society.’’ Sri DS Chauhan IPS Addl.CP L & O, Hyderabad and Sri.P.Vishwa Prasad IPS Jt. CP Central zone and other officers attended the program.

Furthermore, Mr. Kumar also urged the local residents to co-operate with the police to enable better community policing and simultaneously keeping themselves safe from the pangs of Covid19. He sensitized the people to adhere to all the laid guidelines and regulations.

A SUCCESSFUL STEP

Around 14,000 policemen are patrolling and guarding the streets against morning till evening in a bid to raise awareness among people regarding the Covid guidelines- and ensuring they stay outside the reach of the virus.
