Ludhiana: A day after the deputy commissioner of police (law & order) tested positive for Covid-19, 20 of his close contacts, including his colleagues, have been quarantined and his office sealed.
At present, 18 cops of Ludhiana Police are Covid-19 positive. While some are admitted to hospitals, others are home isolated. Their contacts, at home and workplace, are also in quarantine.
Commissioner of police Rakesh Agarwal said, “The throat swabs of DCP’s 20 close contacts are being taken for test. A senior officer visits nakas, holds meetings and checks arrangements. Therefore, I have asked all cops who came in his contact to quarantine themselves for three days and then get themselves tested.”
On Friday, the entire complex of police commissionerate was sanitized and nobody was allowed to enter it.
The top cop has asked residents to avoid visiting Shimlapuri and Sahnewal police stations, as some of their cops have tested positive.
Agarwal said, “We request people to avoid visiting police stations, unless there is an urgency, and lodge complaints online.”
Source of infection of most of the cops is unclear.
