JAIPUR: As the country prepares for the third phase of lockdown, red zone Jaipur will see negligible changes or relaxations.
According to officials, the lockdown guidelines will be same as it were in the last month-and-a-half.
ADG (law and order) Ajal Pal Lamba said, “Since the city has been declared as a red zone, there will not be any changes when it comes to rules and guidelines. Areas under curfew will continue to have the same restrictions as before.”

According to officials, the only change will be private offices will be allowed to open with 33% of the staff.
A police official said, “According to the advisory by the Centre, probably the only relaxation is for private offices. Also as per the previous advisory, standalone shops and stores in residential areas will be allowed to open from Monday.”
The lockdown guidelines say no person should move out of their homes unless in case of emergency or to procure essential goods and medicines.
No lockdown pass will be issued to the residents of areas under curfew while travel passes are required for people of other areas.
Section 144 is in place which will prohibit public gatherings of five or more people.
In the red zone, OPDs and medical clinics will be allowed to operate with social distancing norms. Also, banks will be open as per guidelines.
Milk, vegetable and groceries stores will also remain open.
“According to the MHA advisory, the guidelines set for the red zones cannot be diluted and we can add further restrictions depending on the situation, but cannot reduce them,” added an official.
