“The Cabinet has decided to extend the lockdown in the state till May 7. The cabinet will take stock of the situation on May 5,” NDTV quoted the CM as saying on Sunday.

“If the Centre is giving any relaxation from April 20, the state cabinet has decided that no relaxation will be given in Telangana. Swiggy and Zomato will not be allowed in the state to function from tomorrow,” he said.
