Madhya Pradesh government may impose fresh lockdown

The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Madhya Pradesh government is mulling over imposing a fresh round of lockdown in parts of the state amid a surge of coronavirus cases. 

State Home minister Narottam Mishra has reportedly confirmed that the MP government is planning to impose a lockdown in parts of the state to break the chain of transmission. He informed that CM Chouhan will chair a meeting this evening to take a final call on the same. 

On being asked if the lockdown will be reimposed, Mishra said that CM Shivraj Singh will be holding a meeting with seven district collectors and other officials to discuss the situation. Imposing lockdown again will surely be on the agenda.
