ITANAGAR, Mar 27:  In the wake of the ongoing lockdown, Additional District Magistrate Talo Potom on Friday visited various Nakas in the Capital region to take stock of the situation.
ADM visited the Nakas near Rajbhawan-Itanagar, Yupia tri-junction, Naharlagun Market area, Kankarnalah bridge, Nirjuli and Banderdewa and interacted with the on-duty  security personnel and gathered  updates about the law & order situation. 
Speaking to reporters, ADM informed that as of now the situation is normal and most  denizens are following the lockdown orders. “There are only a few who are on the roads and travelling, however, we have already instructed the security personnel to screen them and seek their reasons for travelling during the lockdown period. If the case is genuine then only we are allowing them to move forward,” he informed. 
He also added that during many Nakas, police are registering the vehicle numbers so that the particular vehicle owner could not give further excuses for venturing out for the second time. However, all essential commodity carrying vehicles are being allowed to move freely, stated Potom. 
When asked about the penalty provisions for violators, ADM clarified that as of now they have not imposed any harsh penalty, Capital DA cautions denizens not to venture out without genuine reasons
but the security personnel had detained a few and seized their vehicles for roaming without any genuine reason. “If people defy the lockdown and roam without any reason we will be compelled to impose penalty as per the laid down norms,” he cautioned.
Meanwhile, ADM appealed the denizens to maintain the health department advisories and take help of the Helpline provided by the District Administration for all kinds of assistance.
