Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has notified yet another containment zone to control further spread of Covid-19 and identify suspects and high-risk patients in the area. The latest zone covers some parts of Itwari, Dalalpura, Telipura, Lalganj and adjoining areas in ward no. 21 under Satranjipura zone.
Municipal commissioner Tukaram Mundhe on Tuesday issued a notification announcing the new containment zone with boundaries at Maskasath chowk, Chakna chowk, Mahajan Kirana, Shivshakti Enclave, Dahibazaar Pool and Rokde building.
A couple of relatives of the Satranjipura deceased, who tested positive on Tuesday, reside in Dalalpura. The house of these relatives was considered as epicentre and adjoining areas were covered in the containment zone.
The NMC will begin door-to-door survey from Wednesday. People residing in these areas will not be allowed to move outside. Similarly, people from outside areas will be prevented from entering the containment zone.
The NMC has excluded Itwari wholesale foodgrains market as it supplies foodgrains to the entire city and many districts in Nagpur division.
Satranjipura is already a containment zone since on April 5. Rajiv Gandhi Nagar and adjoining areas on Kamptee Road were notified as containment zone as one of the relatives was from there.
The entire Mominpura is containment zone since one of the residents of Takia Deewanshah had tested positive.
