Nagpur: The night curfew monitoring system of the cops, between 8pm and 7am, seems to have lost steam amid flurry of changes in timing and modalities of the restrictions by the administration. City police chief Amitesh Kumar, who assured to take up the issue, said he will shortly review the arrangements and tighten bandobast.
The night curfew and other Covid specified behaviours, like social distancing and use of masks, which are in place to break the corona chain, too seem to be weakly enforced by the cops. Vehicular and passenger movements are being mostly left unchecked.
The penal cases slapped by cops on violators too have dwindled to a minimum in the last two days at police station levels.
With the outside temperature soaring, incidence of Covid infection is rising among cops, with 265 personnel active patients as on Sunday. Even a Zonal DCP and an Addl CP are down with the virus.
