JAIPUR: The weekend curfew imposed to ‘break the chain’ of transmission largely remained successful in Jaipur.
Restrictions imposed for the first time this year were taken seriously by the majority of residents as they stayed indoors. However, there were a few during morning and evening hours who were seen walking in groups on roads.
Adhiraj Singh, a resident of Vaishali Nagar said, “As parks are closed, residents used roads for morning and evening walks and entered many colonies. The government should make rules to prevent such people to walk free in groups during curfew.”
The curfew also failed to discourage people, particularly youngsters, from going around the city on their vehicles and socialising unnecessarily.
Similarly, migrants who were apprehensive that last year’s situation could occur again, were found in large numbers at Sindhi Camp waiting for buses from morning to evening. Bhupendra Kumar, who resides near Sindhi Camp said, “Since last night, there has been an unusual rush at the bus stand. It was assumed that there would be no crowd during curfew. On the contrary, it’s more than usual.”
Meanwhile, as major markets were closed, the markets wore a deserted look and roads were empty. Essential facilities such as groceries, dairies, shops selling fruits and vegetables, bakeries, milk supply, and confectioneries remained open.
