 From today, there will be a night curfew in Delhi, as well as an E-Pass for vaccinations and other essential services.


Delhi will implement a night curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. from now until April 30, the city government announced today, citing an increase in Covid incidents.

This is the Delhi government's toughest order since a new wave of coronavirus infections began in the capital last month.


On Friday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that Delhi was experiencing the fourth wave of COVID-19, but that a lockout was not being contemplated at this time.


"We are not contemplating implementing a lockout in the present situation. We're keeping a close eye on the case, and any decision can only be made after thorough public consultation "He'd told reporters about it.


On Monday, there were 3,548 new cases in Delhi, with 15 deaths.


Traffic would not be halted during the night curfew hours, and anyone seeking vaccines would be permitted with an e-pass, according to authorities.


Many in vital services and supermarkets that need after-hours access to rations, food stocks, fruits, milk, and medications will be granted equivalent passes. Journalists from both print and electronic media would be affected.


With ID cards, private physicians, nurses, and other medical personnel will be able to walk about freely.


Pregnant women and those in need of care would be given special attention.


The Delhi government stated in its order that the night curfew was imposed to control people's travel rather than to prevent basic services from being provided.


In the midst of a surge in Covid cases across the world, states like Maharashtra and Rajasthan have enacted night curfews to limit travel. For the first time in India, the number of cases in 24 hours reached one lakh.

Maharashtra has declared a weekend shutdown and a strict curfew from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. The night curfew in Rajasthan is in place from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
