Itanagar, Sep 14:
The capital district administration today began implementing its decision to penalise violators of Covid-19 standard operating procedure across the Itanagar capital region (ICR).
A total of 88 persons were challaned with Rs 500 each for not wearing masks during the checking drive which was carried out by CO M Kato at Nirjuli area and another team led by OC K Yangfo at Naharlagun area.
Two persons were also imposed fine of Rs. 200 each for spitting in public by the team at Naharlagun during checking.
As per the latest SOP, Rs 500 is to be imposed on violators for not wearing masks and Rs 200 for spitting in public. However, in the former case children below 5 years are exempted.
The Deputy Commissioner, Itanagar Capital Region, Komkar Dulom has urged the denizens to cooperate and to follow the SOPs for the safety of everyone.
Denizens have been time and again urged to follow SOPs, however many people are seen to be not taking it seriously and roaming without wearing masks, the DC said.
He hoped that such drive would instil some
sense of responsibility and also create awareness on the importance of wearing masks amongst the denizens.
Regular announcement is also being done to convey the message to the public.
During the drive, 1 tempo was also challaned for carrying more than the permitted number of persons. DIPRO
