The DGP said that the police in-charge of the border districts will ensure that only those persons who meet the mandatory conditions of online registration and RT-PCR negative report are allowed to enter the state. Police personnel working on the frontline should wear proper masks and face shields. The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) should be used in works related to cremation of unclaimed dead bodies as the SDRF has adequate resources and is also trained for such situations. The SDRF was directed to conduct such cremations with its personnel wearing PPE kits while the police station concerned will also deploy personnel at such sites to maintain order and peace.
