Soon after the PM put the country in a 21-day lockdown amid the Coronavirus pandemic, citizens rushed to the market in hordes. The onus to make people follow social distancing has fallen on the police. From home delivery to marking positions for customers, here is what cops all over the city are doing to keep citizens safe."

Jogeshwari and Malad
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ankit Goyal, heading the city's Zone X that consists densely populated areas like Malad and Jogeshwari decided to adopt different methods for each area. In the slums and colonies of Jogeshwari, police marked positions at a distance of two feet for people to stand outside stores. In other areas, grocery stores and supermarkets have been asked to place a box in which customers can drop a list of provisions they need. "This way, customers won't come in contact with others and can get supplies home delivered as well," Goyal told mid-day.
