100-Metre Restriction Around TMCs, IQCs In Ganjam District

Berhampur: The district administration has banned the movement of outsiders within 100 metre radius of temporary medical camps (TMCs) and institutional quarantine centres (IQCs) in Ganjam.

In an official order, district collector Vijay Amruta Kulange has directed SPs, IICs, sub-divisional magistrates and executive magistrates to keep a watch on anybody moving within the restricted area of TMCs and IQCs under their jurisdiction. The violators of the ban order will be penalised for violation of law under Section 144.

Ganjam has toppled Jajpur (54 + 1 recovery) to become the corona hotspot in Odisha with 71 virus-afflicted patients.

After being in the Green Zone for nearly 50 days, Ganjam was classified as a Red Zone for very high doubling rate on Thursday. The first case in the district was detected on May 2 when two Surat-returned youth tested positive for the virus.

On Thursday, the Collector had said that 27,000 people had arrived in Ganjam district from other states in 12 trains and 283 buses.
