PHOTOS: Kolkata police during the lockdown

Kolkata police requested those who ventured out of their homes to follow the lockdown protocol and stay at home to limit the spread of coronavirus. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in order to urge him to ensure that no flight lands in Kolkata, in an effort to control the spread of coronavirus. “We are seriously concerned that Government of India is still allowing operation of flight causing a huge breach of the shutdown and quarantine protocol with no arrangement of social distancing that we are so painfully managing in the state,” she wrote in the letter.
