No Weekend Shutdown For Twin City : Confirms CP

Bhubaneswar : In the press meet commissioner of police Sudhanshu Sarangi made clear everything about the upcoming 2 week long lockdown.

He started from requesting the authorities of media houses to limit their personnel to bare minimum. They can use their I-card during movement. We will not issue any pass to media personnel.

We are making adequate arrangements to ensure that people do not face problems in purchasing essential commodities from nearest markets during 14-day lockdown in twin cities of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, further he said.

Also the CP said “I request people to refrain from unessential movement during the 14-day lockdown period. It might pose more threat to vulnerable population. Do not use bikes for travel because it may attract penalties.”

The CP also made clear that no Weekend Shutdown will be there in Cuttack & Bhubaneswar during the lockdown.

Shops selling vegetables and other essential commodities will remain open from 6 AM to 1 PM , the CP said.
