POLICE VERIFICATION OF DOMESTIC HELPS
After repeated incidents of robberies and burglaries by domestic helps, the commissioner of police has again ordered police verification of such workers before they are hired. Besides, police verification of tenants is also a must, he added.
He said in absence of police verification, it was difficult for police to trace domestic helps who fled after committing crime.
CARRYING SAND IN UNCOVERED VEHICLES
The commissioner also banned carrying sand in uncovered vehicles for the safety of commuters. He said winds often lifted uncovered sand in the air, causing inconvenience to commuters, which can also lead to mishaps. He ordered the drivers to cover their vehicles with tarpaulin or other covers. Besides, the police chief banned ferrying people on vehicles meant for loading material, as this can cause mishaps and loss of life.
BAN ON OPERATING EATERIES AFTER 11.30pm
Agrawal reiterated the ban on operations of any eatery, restaurant, dhaba or hotels post 11.30pm. He also banned operation of liquor vends post 11pm.
Violation of these orders will invite action under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code.
