New Delhi:
Lakhs observing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Janata Curfew" call - test run for social distancing amid coronavirus scare, Delhi woke up to quiet streets this morning. Cops on duty across the national capital were seen giving red roses to people stepping outside their homes, defying the 14-hour self-curfew call.
In a tweet, Delhi Police urged people to "stay at home". "We are on the roads for your safety. Please stay at Home!! Policemen giving flowers to motorists requesting them to stay at home. Please support us!! (sic)," the post read.
On Saturday, amid rumours doing rounds on social media, Delhi Police dismissed concerns that Rs 11,000 fine would be imposed on those who violate the curfew. "We have spotted this fake notice being circulated purportedly issued by Delhi Police. We have not issued any such advisory on imposition of a fine on March 22. Please tell your family and friends that this is false and fake," read a tweet by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) South Delhi along with a picture of the fake notice.
