Amid an uptick in Covid infections and Omicron scare, the Delhi Government has enhanced enforcement of Covid-appropriate behaviour and other norms with revenue department teams nabbing over 7,700 violators and imposing a fine of Rs 1.54 crore in the past two days, officials said.

The enforcement teams of the Revenue Department have also formed flying squads to take action against big gatherings, and violations of social-distancing norms at restaurants, hotels, markets and other such places. Delhi’s South district officials on Thursday night sealed a well-known restaurant in Mehrauli where around 600 people were attending an event.
