In a tweet, Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) has announced extension in the existing restrictions across J&K in wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Corona Curfew imposed in all 20 districts of J&K till 7 am on Monday, 10/5/21 is extended further by 7 days till 7 am on Monday, 17/5/21. The curfew will be strict except for a few essential services,” DIPR-J&K tweeted.

“Further, the gathering permissible for marriages is reduced to 25 only w.e.f. today, 9/5/21,” DIPR-J&K tweeted. Pertinently, the Corona Curfew continued to remain in place since April 29 evening in order to prevent the virus from spreading.
