To ensure that this does not trigger an increase in the positivity rate, 54 COVID-19-appropriate behaviour (CAB) enforcement teams, each with four marshals and one Home Guard or police constable, have been constituted by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). CAB enforcement teams, which will have a total of 216 marshals, will work in two shifts — 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Marshals deployed in Indira Canteens and ward marshals have been redeployed for CAB duties, said Mr. Gupta in an order. Teams will be deployed in markets, malls, main roads, junctions, religious places, crowded areas and low-income areas, and parks. Mr. Pant told reporters later that instances of citizens attacking or misbehaving with the enforcement teams would not be tolerated.
