Except any emergency situation no vehicle or person will be allowed to leave the premises or enter. “We have started the sanitisation work of the society after one person has been found positive for Covid-19. The person’s wife has been put under home quarantine. The decision on closing the nearby area as a precautionary will be taken as per the situation and further course of time,” he added.
