March 28, 2020

Mysore/Mysuru:  In a bid to prevent shortage of essential commodities in the locked down district Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G. Sankar has issued directives on not stopping the vehicles carrying these items. There is no need of passes for people supplying essential services, he clarified.

“Some restrictions have been imposed because of the lockdown on movement of vehicles and trucks carrying goods have been stopped. Trucks carrying essential commodities should not be stopped on the national highways and roads and it should be ensured that they do not face any problems because of the lockdown.

Vehicles supplying water, material used for making hand sanitizers, medicines among others should not be stopped, he said. The directives come amidst complaints and fears that local shopkeepers could face shortage of commodities.

There were also reports that vehicles carrying goods were being stopped from entering the locked down areas because of which the distributers were not able to supply them to shopkeepers.

“There is no need to panic. I again appeal to people not to do panic buying, I assure everyone that there will be no shortage of essential services,” he said. “We are here to serve you, the shops will remain open. It is our duty to provide vegetables, milk, and other items to your areas,” the DC said.

The essential commodities primarily include milk, vegetables, rations, medicines and other items of daily necessity.  “The shopkeepers, people engaged in supplying milk, water, etc. are providing essential services. Some of them like media, hospital staff will have identification cards. For those who don’t, we will then issue passes for those providing essential services,”
