Karnataka News Updates: Checkposts will come up in border regions having village-to-village contact to stop COVID surge: Karnataka CM

With rising COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra and Kerala, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said checkposts will be set up in places where there are village-to-village contacts between Karnataka and neighbouring states.

He also said the police station under the jurisdiction will be responsible for such checkposts.

"Our experiences since the first and second wave have been that the infections in Karnataka rise whenever COVID-19 cases spiral in our neighbouring states, with whom we have daily business activities. We have to focus on that area," Bommai told reporters. (PTI)
