A CORRESPINDENT

JAGIROAD: Following identification of four COVID-19 positive cases in Jagiroad in Morigaon district, the Government of India declared the district as one of the red zones of the pandemic.

As such complete lockdown is imposed in the district till May 3. But surprisingly, it has been observed that in many places within the heart of the town, the lockdown guidelines are not being followed. Even a new wholesale vegetable market has been set up near Jagiroad Chariali where vegetable vendors purchase vegetables without maintaining any social distancing. Conscious sections here have urged the district administration to look into the matter.
