By Kashmir Age Online On Apr 12, 2020

Srinagar, Apr 12 (UNI) Strict restrictions on movement and assembly of people continued on Sunday to curtail the spread of Coronavirus in Kashmir valley, where rapid testing and door-to-door screening have been intensified in Red and Buffer Zones.

Meanwhile, curbs were further tightened after Advisor to Lieutenant Governor, Baseer Ahmad Khan, directed Deputy Commissioners to enforce 24×7 (round the clock) strict lock-down in their respective districts in Kashmir, where life remained crippled for the 24th day on Sunday.

The Advisor directed DCs to plug all loopholes immediately and take strict action against people who try to break the lockdown.

He asked DCs to involve religious heads so that they can advise their followers against holding any congregations and spread awareness about observing social distancing norms to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
