Barricades erected, force deployment stepped up; meet tomorrow to assess situation
Delhi roads wore a deserted look on Saturday following the weekend curfew imposed by the city government in a bid to curb the rising number of COVID-19 cases.
The curfew came into effect across the Capital from 10 p.m. on Friday and will remain in force till 5 a.m. on Monday. To ensure strict compliance with the restrictions, the Delhi police stepped up patrolling, erected barricades and cautioned citizens of legal action if they stepped out of their homes without any reason.
On Sunday, however, devotees will be allowed to visit gurdwaras to be able to observe Prakash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh, according to the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA).
