SHILLONG, Aug 23: The West Garo Hills Police has quashed the FIR which was registered against the West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh and the District Sports Officer over alleged violation of COVID-19 protocols during an Independence Day Run recently.
In the complaint, it was alleged that the DSO had reportedly organised the Independence Day Run and the DC has reportedly given the green light for organising the same, in contravention of COVID-19 protocols.
“Hundreds of people gathered at New Tura on the roadside without any social distancing and wearing of masks which was clearly visible on the pictures itself that were uploaded by the district administration itself,” the complainants had said.
However, the police have now quashed the FIR, stating that all actions were lawful.
