A day after the Maharashtra government issued stricter guidelines amid an alarming spike in coronavirus cases, the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) started a drive to seal the establishments violating the COVID-19 related norms.
The KDMC has sealed around 28 shops so far that violated the guidelines by the state government. The KDMC officials had started the drive on Tuesday, April 6 and sealed 17 shops including two marriage halls and two wine shops. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, April 7, the civic body officials sealed 11 shops.
According to an official, the KDMC officials took action against 17 shops including two wine shops, two marriage halls, D-mart, and local shops. On Wednesday, they took action against a total of 11 shops including 3 shops based in Titwala market, a sports club badminton court shop in Kalyan, wine shop, 1 saloon, 1 auto garage, and 1 garment among others.
Even after the guidelines imposed by the government under the “break the chain” campaign and urging the citizens to follow lockdown rules till April 30, many stores that were not part of essential services kept the shop open. Strict action has been taken against them and the shops have been sealed till April 30. The action will keep going on as our team will keep vigilance in every corner of the city, said an official.
Meanwhile, another senior official stated that a dedicated team has been formed in every ward of the corporation across Kalyan and Dombivli. The team keeps vigilance across markets and roads in and around their wards. Also, if essential service shops are found violating the norms like allowing more than 50 people or not following social distancing, the civic body will take action against them and seal it.
