Odisha On COVID-19 Alert: Malls To Be Shut In Bhubaneswar, Cuttack From Tomorrow

Bhubaneswar: Exercising power conferred under Section 35 of the Odisha Urban Police Act, Police Commissioner Sudhanshu Sarangi on Sunday ordered for closure of all malls in the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack till March 31.

The order will come into effect from Monday (March 16).

The decision was taken to check the spread of the coronavirus infection after the Odisha government on Friday declared the outbreak as a ‘state disaster’.
