Solan, July 25
The office of the Superintendent of Police (SP) at Baddi and the Barotiwala police station were sealed for 48 hours post-sanitisation today after a theft accused tested positive for Covid-19.
Hailing from Akkanwali village in Baddi, the 48-year-old accused was among five persons arrested from Dhanas in Chandigarh on Thursday.
Baddi SP Rohit Malpani said 21 policemen, including a station house officer, had been quarantined. The Barotiwala police station will operate from the women police station as a stop-gap arrangement. With his office sealed, the SP's working has been hampered as there is no administrative backup to facilitate his functioning.
Health experts have raised concern over a looming Covid crisis in the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) industrial belt of Solan district as a large number of cases are being reported from the area.
