Strict Lockdown Restrictions Reimposed in Parts of Kashmir after Sudden Spike in Covid-19 Cases

The J&K administration on Monday re-imposed stringent lockdown restrictions in parts of the Kashmir Valley because of the growing number of COVID-19 cases. However, the administration has decided to unlock the tourism sector.

Barricades were set up and the vehicular movement, except for essential services, was stopped in Srinagar.

Restrictions on public movement and activities were imposed in 88 areas notified as COVID-19 red zones in Srinagar after a sharp spike in positive cases in the last couple of weeks, an official said.
