No Metro, No Buses, No shops: It’s a 24-hr ‘Janata Curfew’ in Telangana Tomorrow..!

The ‘Janata Curfew’, called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Sunday (March 22), will be much longer in duration in Telangana than anywhere else in the country. Making the self-imposed lockdown a bit more elaborate, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao proposed a 24-hour-long ‘Janata Curfew’ on Sunday instead of the 14-hour exercise called by the prime minister.

Addressing the media here on Saturday (March 21), KCR announced that the Janata Curfew would be in force in the state from 6 am Sunday (March 22) till 6 am Monday (March 23). Calling social distancing and ‘stay-at-home’ initiatives during the curfew as a matter of ‘social responsibility’ on the part of every citizen, the chief minister sought the cooperation of everyone in this regard.
