Mangaluru: Despite the lockdown, the Dakshina Kannada district administration has decided to allow the public to purchase groceries and essential commodities between 7 am and 12 pm from tomorrow, April 1, onwards.

Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, after holding a meeting with the MP, MLAs and officials on Tuesday, March 31, directed the people to maintain social distance while shopping and finish their purchases before 12 pm every day. “If anyone is found roaming the streets unnecessarily after the deadline, their vehicles will be seized and a case will be filed against the violators,” he warned.

Kota also informed that both the Central Market and Suratkal Market will be closed to the public. “People should purchase essential commodities from grocery shops located near their homes. Shopkeepers should ensure that customers don’t wait in long queues. In such cases, shopkeepers should note down the customers’ contact number and address and inform them after their items are packed. The shopkeepers should also ensure that customers are maintaining social distance while purchasing items,” he said.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel thanked the public for cooperating with the district administration’s decision to lock down the district. “Due to this strict decision, the Dakshina Kannada district has achieved success in stopping the spread of COVID-19. As a new case has been reported on Tuesday, the lockdown must be continued and the people are expected to cooperate,” he added.

MLAs Dr Y Bharath Shetty and D Vedavyas Kamath were also present.
