With an urge to keep all safe from the deadly coronavirus government has been appealing the nation to be at their homes for the next few weeks but many are forced to come out of their homes in search of food and shelter. Recently thousands of people even after strict orders from the government and ignoring the orders violated the lockdown just to reach their homes and search for food.
In the view of the problems which arose among these people and to provide a safer place and food to these people Government of India directed the State/Union Territory Government and State Union Territory Authorities to take necessary action and to issue necessary orders to their District Magistrate Deputy Commissioner and Senior Superintendant of Police.
