The district administration, in a meeting chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) (Headquarter) Rana Akhlaaq Ahmed Khan on Tuesday, decided to ensure strict monitoring of SOPs in public transport.
In order to thwart the threat of rising coronavirus cases. The meeting agreed that strict inspection of vehicles would be made. All the passengers will wear face-masks and use hand sanitisers.
The passengers will follow social distancing at bus stands’ waiting rooms. Similarly, to counter threat of smog in atmosphere, it was also decided to take action against the vehicles emitting smoke.
The transporters were instructed to avoid using substandard gas cylinders in their vehicles. Cases will be registered against the owners in case they continue to install substandard gas cylinders.
Similarly, the shopkeepers, involved in manufacturing and selling of substandard gas cylinders will also face punishment, stated ADC Rana Akhlaaq. Assistant Commissioners and officials of civil defence were directed to launch effective campaign against illegal filling of gas cylinders.
