Ahmedabad: City police became soft on people during the period of the Navratri festival, which was seen from the cases submitted for people because they did not wear a mask, which fell from 711 cases on October 7, the first day of Navratri, until 400 October at 15 October, the last day of the festival.
The reason for less amounts of violations of masks registered in accordance with the police is that with a reduction in Covid-19 cases, they don’t need to be hard to people.
“We continued to guard on Garba events during the Navratri festival and ensure that people wear masks all the time and maintain social distance.
When we are strict and patrol all the time, people follow the rules and cases of mask violations have Decreases, “said a police officer.
On the other hand, the numbers showed that the police gradually reduced archiving cases for a mask violation a week before Navratri.
This month, the highest number of cases, 785, was reported in 4.
October on September 30, the police submitted 985 cases like that, which dropped to less than half on October 17, when only 426 cases were reported.
A police officer said that instead of the drive was concentrated to arrest people without masks, they conducted surprises in public places and violators of books.
He said that the number of Covid-19 cases was active and even in two digits in the city, so there was no need to collect people and raise differences of opinions between them.
Sources in the police said that they enrolled fewer cases during the festival and even during the election, which was clear during the Civic body poll in February.
According to the City Police figure, the police only registered four cases for mask violations on February 21, when the Civic poll was held for 48 Bangsal Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
It has become the number of the lowest mask cases in the city until now.
