In order to contain the Covid-19 contagion in the district, the Dehradun district magistrate Ashish Kumar Srivastava has directed all the sub-divisional magistrates (SDMs) to stay in contact with the management of the commercial establishments like restaurant operators and shopkeepers and ensure that government guidelines are being followed by customers as well as the employees working there. Srivastava has also instructed officials to strictly register all the details of the people from the other States entering the district at various checkpoints in Dehradun district borders including their thermal screening, sampling, names, address, travel details and contact number.
It is pertinent to mention here that due to various factors, Dehradun has the highest number of active Covid cases among the State’s 13 districts. As part of the measures aimed at checking the spread of the virus, the authorities have resumed enforcement of the weekly closure of markets in which some relaxation had been granted during the festive period.
