Two wards declared containment zones in Mandya

Mandya: Within 24 hours of a positive case being detected in Mandya city, Ward No 32 and 33 have been declared as containment zones while a 5-km radius of the area has been declared a buffer zone.
Movement of people in the containment zone is strictly prohibited where essential supplies are provided by the authorities at people’s doorsteps. Hopcoms are being tasked with the supply of vegetables and fruits.
The overall situation is being monitored by deputy commissioner Venkatesh and superintendent of police Parashuram.
Venkatesh and Parashuram visited Swarnasandra Colony, which is declared as a containment zone and assured people that their needs would be taken care of by the district administration. All kinds of help would be made available for them round-the-clock, they were informed.
In the buffer zone, petrol bunks have been strictly told not to supply petrol and diesel to private vehicles in order to contain the freewheeling mindset of people who have been creating obstacles in implementing the effective lockdown.
