Strict restrictions on the movement of people were imposed across Kashmir as part of the administration’s 34-hour ‘corona curfew’ amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, officials said on Sunday.
The restrictions that came into force on 8 PM on Saturday will remain till 6 AM on Monday in all the ten districts of the valley, the officials said.
They said state forces put barricades on roads at many places in the city here as well as in other district headquarters of the valley to prevent the movement of the people.
However, essential and emergency services were being allowed to move, they added.
The officials said police vehicles, fitted with public address system, went around localities announcing the imposition of strict restrictions for combating the spread of coronavirus.
