Chandigarh, January 4

Amid rising Covid cases, the Punjab government on Tuesday decided to clamp night curfew, shut educational institutes and allow cinema halls to operate with 50 per cent capacity to arrest the spread of the infection, officials said.

Movement of individuals for all non-essential activities will remain prohibited between 10 pm and 5 am within municipal limits of all cities and towns of Punjab, according to an order issued by the home affairs and justice department on Tuesday. The restrictions in poll-bound Punjab will remain in force till January 15.
