Over 100 persons have been nominated in seven FIRs registered at multiple police stations across Gujranwala over violation of Coronavirus SOPs, the district administration said.
These persons include internet service providers, sound system organisers and residents holding corner meetings.
According to the police, the people named had not been following Coronavirus SOPs, especially social distancing rules. “Residents have to submit a request for an NOC before holding gatherings,” a police officer said.
He added that the city’s chief police officer has instructed the police to ensure strict implementation of SOPs in the city.
The government has been cracking down on restaurants and other public spaces across the country for violation of SOPs. The move came after the number of cases in Pakistan spiked again in September.
