The L-G also directed them to submit a consolidated report regarding steps taken to ensure COVID-compliant behaviour in the city to him every day with a copy to the Chief Secretary by 7 p.m. daily.

He told them to take “all-out measures” for the effective implementation of the COVID lockdown in the city.
