The official said that only two main checkposts with policemen and a few army personnel would remain in the area for some time while all the rest of the checkpoints and personnel were withdrawn
He also said that during the emergency, the police prepared own personal protective equipment including surgical gowns at the police lines, and scanning system was put in place at police lines so all the cops entering the premises were screened at the main gate.
