Containment zone restrictions extended in Guwahati

The Kamrup (Metro) district administration on Thursday extended the ‘containment zone’ restrictions covering Arihant Apartments at Pan Bazaar in Guwahati.

According to an order issued by the deputy commissioner, the restrictions come into effect from Thursday for seven days.

This has been done as more COVID-19 cases have been detected in the apartment.

The order prohibits all shops and business establishments located at Colonel J Ali Road from City Pharmacy Point to Railgate No 2 of Lakhtokia.

Any violation of the order will attract penal provisions under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 and the Assam COVID Regulations 2020.
