CHENNAI: Greater Chennai Police will be setting up 312 check points across the city on Sunday to ensure complete lockdown.
The state government has barred movement of all vehicles except essential and emergency services. This includes government employees, court staff, bankers and health workers. They should carry their ID cards with them while travelling.
ATM centres, fuel stations and pharmacies will be open.
As far as restaurants are concerned, they are allowed to only deliver food to customers through aggregators, according to a circular from the Director General of Police (DGP) Sylendra Babu.
Police will slap cases against the people roaming on the road unnecessarily under Section 269 of IPC and seize their vehicles. Those travelling to railway stations and airport will be allowed to use their own vehicles, autos or cabs. But they should carry a copy of their tickets in case police stop them at checkposts.
