The COVID-19 spread is on the rise once again, but a massive chunk of the general public fails to realize the gravity of the situation. However, the Peshawar district administration seems to be taking the matter seriously, as it has been reported that the authorities detained 52 people that were found violating the COVID-19 SOPs at the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminals.
The district administration has begun an aggressive crackdown against violators of the COVID-19 SOPs across the district. The relevant personnel told the media that a team has been put in place to oversee the matters at several BRT stations in Saddar, and GT road.
