In an order issued Tuesday the DM stated that after assessing the situation which remained incident-free it has been decided to lift the curfew.

It added that there shall be restrictions on public movement including transport and that commercial and other establishments shall remain closed. Lockdown shall continue in containment zones as already notified, it said. The DM in his order said that avoiding public gatherings are an important part of the efforts to contain spread of COVID-19 and urged the general public to ensure strict compliance with all preventive guidelines and protocols the government has issued in regard to it.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
