Bhawanipatna: In view of rising COVID-19 cases, the Kalahandi administration has closed the weekly haat at Bhawanipatna until further orders.

There is a heavy rush of people during the weekly haat in Bhawanipatna held twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. Apart from the traders of Kalahandi, several others from Chhattisgarh also do business here.
Notably, the district has recorded 252 new COVID-19 cases in the last seven days with the highest of 57 cases on March 30.
