Durgapur: Today was the first day of the two days per week lockdown announced by the West Bengal government on 20th July.
Though people were warned repeatedly that violation of the lockdown may lead to strict actions, still few people were seen roaming in the street with lame excuses.
But this time the Asansol-Durgapur police didn’t let these violators go that easily.

According to some sources, the actual number is 95 as stated by Durgapur DCP Abhishek Gupta.
They were charged under section 188, violation of lockdown laws.
The people of Durgapur, who are genuinely aware of the situation that is going on throughout the world, are appreciating this step taken by Durgapur Police.
According to them, only strict actions like this will help bring down the ever increasing curve.
All shops and markets throughout Durgapur were closed today. Only few essential commodity shops were open.
The next complete lockdown will be held on 25th July.
