Chandigarh: If your neighbour is partying or socialising by inviting guests amid lockdown, just report to the police, Chandigarh Advisor Manoj Parida said on Tuesday.

Taking to twitter, Parida said,"Now I appeal to residents to report against neighbours if they are holding parties or social gatherings or get-togethers in violation of curfew."

"Just call 112 or send a video clip as evidence. This seems to be the only way to deal with these enemies of society," he added.
