Just six hours before it was to be imposed on Thursday, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa withdrew the night curfew. “Based on experts’ opinion, it was decided to impose a night curfew aimed at curbing the spread of the new Covid-19 strain detected in Britain and other countries. However, in the wake of public opinion that a night curfew is not necessary, it has been decided to withdraw it after discussions with Cabinet colleagues and senior officials,” the Karnataka Chief Minister said in a statement. Urging citizens to impose self-restraint by wearing face masks and ensuring social distancing, Mr Yediyurappa asked citizens to avoid “unnecessary” travel and strictly follow Covid-19 regulations of the government “to help stop the spread of the virus.”
