Covid precautions: Rajasthan retains ban on public gatherings

Jaipur, Sep 8 : The Rajasthan Home Department on Wednesday issued fresh orders continuing the ban on any kind of gatherings - social, political, sports, cultural, or religious - as well as fairs and 'haats' to check the spread of coronavirus infection in the state.

Principal Secretary, Home, Abhay Kumar, in a letter to all District Collectors, Police Commissioners/Superintendents of Police, cited the order issued on July 10, which said that "corona infection is not completely over yet.

Negligence in following the Corona guidelines can become the reason for the third wave".

Keeping this in mind, the ban on crowds/programme continues.

Dharnas, processions, rallies etc should not be organised, he said.

Instructions have been given to all the Collectors and the Police Commissioners to strictly follow the "no mask, no movement" guidelines.

If the norms of Covid appropriate behaviour are not followed by any establishment, market, or general public, then action should be taken against them by the administration, the letter said.
