The Bengal government on Monday issued a notification to clarify that complete lockdown would be observed in the state on September 7,11 and 12 as announced earlier.
This notification was released to clear any confusion with the center’s unlock 4 guidelines. As for the UNLOCK 4 rules and regulation as mentioned by the Center it is said that the States will not be allowed to announce lockdown outside the containment zone post September 1, 2020.
Sources in Nabanna said top government officials discussed Bengal’s proposed lockdown days in September with the ministry of home affairs on Monday morning after an approval from chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
Top bureaucrats convinced the Centre that complete lockdown on certain days across Bengal helped the state in containing the spread of Covid 19 to some extent. It was also pointed out that three complete lockdown dates in September would help the state arrest the spread, sources said.
Will there be lockdown even after September 2020?
