While shops and industries will continue functioning in Puducherry, Beach road will be closed.
Prohibitory orders under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) will come into effect at Puducherry Union Territory beginning March 23 till March 31. Chief Minister V Narayanasamy made the announcement on Saturday. Orders under section 144 restrict more than five people from gathering in public. The Janata curfew, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has brought life to a standstill across the country, with shops and most essential services made available at a minimal scale. However, while section 144 is in place, CM Narayanasamy said shops and industries will continue functioning in Puducherry. He also urged the elderly and children to stay indoors during this period. 1) Section 144 imposed in #Puducherry from 23-03-2020 to 31-03-2020 2) Shops & Industries will function as usual from 23-03-2020 to 31-03-2020 3) Helpline numbers are shown below.#IndiaFightCorona #CoronaChainScare #coronavirusinindia #FightCOVID19 #COVID19outbreak pic.twitter.com/SLpV9LDE4g — V.Narayanasamy (@VNarayanasami) March 21, 2020 The Chief Minister also added that the Beach Road will remain closed in Puducherry until the rest of the month. “There are chances of coronavirus spreading when people go for their morning or evening walks,” he added. #புதுச்சேரி கடற்கடை சாலை இன்று மாலை முதல் வரும் 31ஆம் தேதி வரை முழுமையாக மூடப்படும். கடற்கரை சாலையில் காலை, மாலை இரு வேளைகளிலும் நடை பயிற்சி மேற்கொள்ளும் போது கொரோனா பரவுவதற்கான வாய்ப்புகள் உள்ளது. — V.Narayanasamy (@VNarayanasami) March 21, 2020 People of Puducherry have also been requested to not visit the Chief Minister or other ministers in person to share their grievances; instead, report them via WhatsApp on 93453 75069. #புதுச்சேரி pic.twitter.com/YExTi2iUCP — V.Narayanasamy (@VNarayanasami) March 21, 2020 “COVID-19 has begun to spread widely across the country.
