No lockdown in the offing: Harayana Deputy CM as Covid-19 cases surge

Even as Covid-19 cases in Haryana continue to surge, Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala Wednesday said the state is “not moving towards a lockdown” and is only taking “critical steps” to prevent the pandemic from spreading further.

Two days after the Haryana government announced a night curfew, he offered reassurance to people working in the state that a second lockdown is not in the offing.

Adding that “no industrial activity” will be stopped in the state, the deputy CM said that citizens have to only stop their work at 10 pm “so that at least the movement in the evening that was causing a chain of spreading gets cut down a bit.”
