The police bandobast for ‘Sunday Viraam’ forced people to remain at home. With the start of Roko Toko Abhiyan, cops are shouldering more responsibility to tighten noose around people defying the preventive step during working days.

Throughout the day, cops were seen discharging their responsibilities.Superintendent of Police Siddharth Bahuguna, responding to a query by ‘The Hitavada’ said that cops have been discharging duties very peristently. The success of ‘Sunday Viraam’ is due to support from people. People who defy magistrate’s orders have been imposed fines.”
