In view of the fresh surge of Covid-19 cases in some countries and new strain of the disease entering the country, the Uttarakhand government has authorized the district magistrates (DM) to impose local restrictions depending on requirements.
The DMs can take restrictive measures on the New Year eve and on the first day of the year 2021 based on their assessment of the situation. The order means that the districts can enforce night curfews and other restrictions to contain the disease. The inter and intra state traffic however would not be impeded. In an order to the all district magistrates on Thursday, the chief secretaries Om Prakash said that they should promptly assess the local situation and consider imposition of local restrictions on December 31 and January 1, 2021.
