Chandigarh: No unanimity on weekend curfew in Tricity
Chandigarh Weekend Curfew: The proposal for weekend curfew in Tricity was discussed with doctors, officers, traders associations and political leaders. During the war-room meeting, it was felt that since Mohali and Panchkula have not agreed for a Tricity closure on weekend, a fresh view on this issue will be taken in the next week.
Meanwhile, the Administrator has directed that there must be strict implementation of social distancing and mask-wearing in all public places. He also directed the screening of persons coming from outside at the borders and strict action against those, who violate curfew orders from 10:00 PM to 05:00 AM.
Likewise, the Administrator also appealed to Press to create awareness among the people about safety precautions to be taken by them to prevent COVID infection.
He mentioned that only messages through government advertisements will not suffice. The media must play a positive and pro-active role to create awareness among people for mask-wearing and social distancing in Tricity.
