During the drives, RAB conducted public awareness campaign through miking (announcements) to control unnecessary movement, distributing leaflets and free masks.
RAB distributed 2,000 free masks and supplied hand sanitisers among people to help curb coronavirus spread throughout the country.
Earlier on July 23, the government re-imposed nationwide strict coronavirus lockdowns after the Eid-ul-Adha festivities to curb the ever-climbing nationwide Covid-19 infections.
As a part of this initiative, law enforcement officials have been deployed throughout the country to restrict unwanted public movement and gathering to curb the infection spread of the dreaded virus.
