COVID-19 | Weekend curfew in Bengaluru sees citizens remain at home
The Hindu
Further, in Mangaluru, activities in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts came to a standstill with the weekend curfew being imposed, to contain the spread of COVID-19.
After a brief burst of activity in the morning, when grocery stores and meat and dairy outlets were allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., Bengaluru hunkered down for the weekend curfew. In Fraser Town, most grocery stores saw only a few customers buying last-minute necessities, though there were longer queues outside dairy and butcher stalls. “We did brisk business yesterday as people stocked up on supplies, but it was nothing like the panic buying we saw last year. This morning, I hardly had any customers,” said a kirana store owner, who like many others on the road was downing the shutters even before the 10 a.m. deadline.More Related News
