In a time when rules and regulations are so simple to follow, yet people are failing to adhere to a simple regulation of ‘stay at home’. The disastrous clasp of the coronavirus has embedded deep into the lives of people all over the world. The one simple rule that experts have dictated to counter this spread can be said that is the easiest one to follow. 

Yet, people are reluctant to follow this rule of staying home and still leave the confines of their abode to step out into a world where a simple breath from a coronavirus infected can mean a life and death situation for someone. However, it is encouraging to find that the people of the country can look up to well organized law enforcement body that shrouds the entire country, ready to exercise punitive actions against any rule breakers. 


It is imperative for the law enforcers to  take 

stricter punitive actions so that people 

would be encouraged to stay indoors


A report published in this daily projects that the law enforcement personnel are prudent and taking action every second of the day to counter unruly behavior in these dire times. They are also using the top tier technology such as drones to trace and fine people who are leaving their homes and are gathering at places without any valid and urgent reason. 

Other than the divisional hubs of the country many district areas are also facing crackdown by law enforcers because of the nationwide general closure. Motorbikes have been impounded and fines have been taken from the unruly. Although as encouraging as all this might be this is also evident that there is a sense of disregard of the people against the government’s efforts to contain the spread of the virus. 

Under such conditions, it is imperative for the law enforcers to take stricter punitive actions so that people would be encouraged to stay indoors rather than leave the safety of their homes. As this is the only way to prevent the virus at this moment. It must be ensured as soon as possible.
