Honeydew Police Station temporarily closed due to Covid-19

The Honeydew Police Station has been closed temporarily after one of its members tested positive for Covid-19 on 3 July.

Spokesperson for the station Captain Balan Muthan said that the police station has been temporarily closed for decontamination and deep cleaning.
