To ensure strict adherence to social-distancing norms and the guidelines announced by the state government, Director General of Police (DGP) Ashish Bhatia held a video conference with the police heads of all districts and commissionerates across Gujarat, a statement issued by the DGP’s office said.
“Police officials have been asked to ensure that no crowd assembles at any public place for the festival and to contact (residential) societies and shopping complexes’ management to make them understand the protocol. Moreover, police will also keep a check on attempts to spread animosity in the society through inflammatory writings on the kites and sale/purchase of Chinese or glass-coated manjha (thread),” the statement read.
