Officials urge people not to believe them
As the COVID-19 cases see a steep increase since the last 10 days, fake messages of lockdown and other restrictions are being widely circulated on social media and other messenger applications here.
Since Friday, a message is being widely circulated that the State government has imposed night curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. from January 8. It also claims that all educational institutions, gyms and spas are closed, while theatres, restaurants will operate with 50% capacity. The officials concerned said that the messages are fake and appealed to people not to believe such forwarded messages

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
