THE Odisha Government on Thursday announced an extension of the ongoing lockdown till April 30, the first State to do so while the Centre weighs the proposal by many States to expand the duration of the shutdown in the face of the burgeoning COVID 19 crisis. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced the decision after chairing a meeting of the State Cabinet.
 
He also declared schools and other educational institutions will remain closed till June 17. “We have decided to extend the lockdown till April 30. We will also recommend to the Centre to extend the national lockdown up to 30th April,” Patnaik said in a video message soon after the Cabinet meeting he held with five senior ministers through video-conferencing.
