Hyderabad Police Lockup Curfew Violators In School; Twitter Abuzz

The Hyderabad Police cracked the whip on denizens, who flouted the lockdown guidelines

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Police cracked the whip on denizens, who flouted the lockdown guidelines. On a sunny Sunday afternoon, the gates of Hyderabad Public School in Telangana’s capital city were reopened by the police on Sunday for a totally different purpose — to lock up the commuters without an e-pass.

Earlier, there were videos of police using force and seizing vehicles of people, who ventured out on city roads, despite the curfew. On Sunday, the video of locking up people in the school at Begumpet was tweeted by many and the move gained criticism across social media platforms.

On the flip side, when people tried to apply for an e-pass on the Telangana police portal, however, the site was down. When a Twitter user took to his handle with the portal’s error screenshot tagged to his post, the Telangana DGP Tweeted: "The site is under maintenance to update some new features, very soon it will be made available".

On Saturday, the city police baton-charged the food supply executives of Zomato, Swiggy, etc.. Ironically, people claimed that police wielded power has been creating more pain than Corona. It's been 10 days since Telangana has announced the statewide lockdown, since then the Twitter has been abuzz due to the authoritative power used by the police on a daily basis. 

Lockdowns are to curb the spread of the virus, but when people are gagged at the same place in the name of lockdown violation there are high possibilities of virus mushrooming amongst them as Covid-19 is a contagious disease.
