Director-General of Police M Mahendar Reddy on Monday said the lockdown restrictions would be implemented more sternly to ensure that people stay at home and do not step out unnecessarily.
He asked grocery store owners, vegetable and fruit vendors, ration shop dealers and managements of banks and supermarkets to take necessary steps to maintain social distancing on their respective premises.“If shopkeepers fail to comply with norms, their shops will be sealed,” he warned.
