The lockdown will be in effect till March 31.During the lockdown, only essential services will be allowed to operate in all the districts which have reported cases or casualties due to Coronavirus. The lockdown is aimed at preventing a Coronavirus breakout in India.
Currently, there are over 400 confirmed cases of Coronavirus in India, of which there have been 7 deaths.
While a few state governments like Punjab expressed exasperation that people are not taking lockdown seriously, others are worried about spreading it to districts which have been untouched as yet. A few others are taking precautionary measures as India is hell bent on keeping a community wide infection that is known for phase III at bay.
Maharashtra and Punjab also governments announced a curfew today, after lockdowns saw only partial success in keeping crowds away.
