During his visit to Siddipet district, Ravindra visited several places. He asked Commissioner of Police D Joel Davis and other officials to keep a strict vigil on seed sales to prevent marketing of spurious seed. He also visited Integrated Market in Gajwel and double bedroom houses at Mutrajpally while monitoring the implementation of lockdown.

On coming to know that Dommata village in Cheriyal was effectively keeping Covid-19 at bay, Ravindra visited the village. While the village did not have a single positive case in the first wave, locals told the senior police officer that 16 cases were reported in the second wave and all of them had recovered after remaining in home isolation.

The IG presented gifts to ANM Annapurna, Asha worker Swapna, Panchayat Secretary Raju, sanitation workers Ramachandram and Lakshmi Narasamma, and Village Police Officer Swapna in recognition of their services.

Instructing the police officials to initiate stern action against lockdown violators, Ravindra praised them for their work throughout the lockdown.
