They said that only exempted vehicles of hospitals, milk dairies and others were allowed to move in stipulated hours.

“As per the reports of medical experts, the COVID-19 new variant spreads very quickly.

They will be victims of the disease and put others also in trouble if they violate norms,” said Ms. Deepika.
