AHMEDABAD, Jan 15: Even as fresh cases of coronavirus are on decline in Gujarat, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Friday asserted that night curfew will remain in place in four major cities in the state for 15 more days as a precautionary measure.
The state government had earlier extended the night curfew in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot till January 15.
While urging people to be patient and cooperate with the authorities for some more days, Rupani said the viral infection had come under control due to the night curfew imposed in November in the four cities.
“The night curfew after 10 pm will continue for 15 more days in all four cities. There will be no relaxation for now, as there is a drastic decrease in new cases (because of curfew). People need to have patience and cooperate with the authorities,” Rupani said.
