“For the police, our role is to control the movement of the masses from one state to another, interstate, and some places inter district. He said the movement control order under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 allows for action to be taken against anyone that is found to go against the advice of authorities during the period the restriction is enforced.
“But if they do not inform, at the moment we will not take action,” he said, adding that warnings and subsequent criminal action will be taken against those found to disobey the order.
