On Monday, Central Government has directed States to strictly enforce lockdown in various cities in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.

Centre has asked them to take legal action against those who are found violating the lockdown orders.

“States have been asked to strictly enforce the lockdown in the areas where it has been announced. Legal action will be taken against violators,” a tweet by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) stated.

This comes post a tweet from Prime Minister Narendra Modi where he stated that some people are not taking lockdown seriously. He also urged the state governments to ensure rules and laws are implemented.
