Delhi Police launched a scheme as 'Covid Kawach' to spread awareness about deadly virus

In Delhi's southeast district, some areas have been declared as containment zones. As a precautionary measure, these zones have been sealed as per guidelines. Seventeen areas have been declared as containment zones in the district as of now.

According to sources, it has been observed that there is a lack of communication between police and public and it becomes difficult for police to keep watch on the public roaming in containment zones without any valid reason. Many areas of these containment zones are congested and thickly populated. However, a vigil was also kept in the area with the help of drones.

To spread awareness amongst people



about Covid-19, a scheme called “Covid Kawach”, has been launched in the southeast district.

Eight e-rickshaws have been hired to patrol the area. These rickshaws are fully covered, have signboards pasted on them, and also have a PA system. These rickshaws are manned by two PPE-equipped police officials along with the driver.

The main objective of this scheme is to overcome the issues related to Covid-19 in the area and resolve the problem keeping the safety and security of the staff in mind.
