Coimbatore: As a result of the complete lockdown in Coimbatore district from 5 pm yesterday for 37 consecutive hours, roads in Valparai wear a deserted look. All the shops shuttered at or before 5 PM yesterday.



Coronavirus infections are on the up in Coimbatore district. In a bid to curb the spread, the district collector had yesterday issued a complete lockdown order in Coimbatore from 5 pm on 25th to 6 am on the 27th. The complete lockdown already observed across Tamil Nadu on Sundays leads to people crowding on roads and at shops with no regard for social distancing.

To avoid this, a complete lockdown order was issued from 5 pm and all shops were closed in the evening. Police kept warning those who kept moving unnecessarily in violation of the lockdown.



The complete lockdown began in the evening following which markets, grocery stores, meat shops, TASMAC outlets and all businesses were closed.
