Hubballi: The second day of the 10-day
lockdown clamped to curb the spread of the
novel coronavirus was
successful as most people remained indoors in
Hubballi on Thursday.
Continuous
drizzle and
moderate rain till late afternoon also discouraged people from venturing out, making the task of police to keep
people indoors much easier.
Though, people can buy essentials until 12 pm, there was less rush in markets due to the rain. By afternoon, almost all major roads wore a deserted look.
Police seized the vehicles of those coming outside without a valid reason. Police also barricaded some roads to curb traffic movement during the lockdown hours.
