LOCKDOWN on Saturday remained successful despite Eid festivities. With instructions from the administration, cops on duty were mild in their task. However, cops at various locations intercepted people found roaming around unnecessarily on Saturday. According to information Saturday Viram arrived to its logical end. No major instance of disturbance was recorded across the JMC limits which proved a huge respite for the administration.
 
People supported the lockdown by staing indoors. With sudden spike in COVID-19 cases in the city, the administration was apprehensive as Eid was to be celebrated on Saturday. People belonging to Muslim community adhered to the directives issued by administration in offering Namaz in Idgah.
 
Committee members urged the community members to refrain from congregation and offer Namaaz at home. Administration extended undeclared exemptions in area mostly dominated by Muslim populations under Gohalpur, Hanumantal, Belbag, Adhartal, Omti and parts of Cantt police station. Collector Bharat Yadav and SP Siddarth Bahuguna had a hectic day as they visited areas vulnerable for large gathering of people.
