The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday directed a weekend shutdown in the state a day after it declined the Allahabad High Court’s directive to forthwith enforce a complete lockdown in five major cities including the capital till April 26. The State had recently enforced a weekly shutdown on Sunday but now that would be extended to Saturday and Sunday. The government had applied a similar strategy last year too. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued the orders in a high-level meeting in which he also directed officials to impose a night curfew daily from 8 pm to 7 am in districts with more than 500 active COVID-19 cases.More Related News
