If people will follow protocol strictly, there is no need of lock down:- DM Srinagar

Srinagar, Aug 13 (PTK)  If people will follow all protocols in letter and spirit, there is no need of lock down, said Shahid Iqbal Choudhary while talking to Reporters here in Srinagar.

We have been conducting meetings with religious heads and traders about easing of restrictions and educating people and if people will cooperate restrictions can be eased.

I don’t think any need for extending lockdown more and more if people will take the pandemic seriously, he said.

It’s very important that we all follow Government SOP’s, use face masks, maintain physical distance and take all other precautionary measures,” he said adding that most of the people violated SOP’s last time when lockdown was eased out forcing us re-impose restrictions.

we are sure that religious leaders will follow SOP’s when religious places will be thrown open for people as we have been conducting meeting with them and informing them about the importance of following SOPS.

Chowdary said that recovered Covid cases are still more than the active cases which is a good sign and if people will cooperate, we can beat COVID-19.(PTK)
