From May 18, there will be no curfew in the state, but the lockdown will be there till May 31, said chief minister Amarinder Singh. He indicated the resumption of limited public transport services and the “maximum possible relaxation” in the non-containment zones from May 18. The containment zones will be sealed to enable the resumption of shops and small businesses in non-containment areas, the CM announced, adding that lockdown details will be announced by Monday after going through Centre’s guidelines. The chief minister said the state government has asked the Union government for a simpler categorisation of containment zones.
