Coronavirus: Pandemic Lockdown Puts Police In A Tightspot

SRINAGAR:  As the deadly virus grips the world and the mass quarantines have been implemented across the globe, police in India’s biggest-ever federally managed Union Territory are busy fighting the corona on the streets.

With heavy deployment across along with paramilitary men, the streets symbolise the Kashmir of erstwhile state. Hardly anybody is moving around as the people are voluntarily staying home, out of the fear of the virus. Unlike other places including Jammu, Kashmir is better placed because they are habitual of lockdown and culturally they are unlikely to die of hunger in such situations.
