Night Curfew will be imposed in Delhi from 11 pm (31st December, 2020) to 6 am (1st January, 2021) on New Year's Eve and more than five people will not be allowed to assemble at a public place, Delhi Disaster Management Authority announced on Thursday.
There is a restriction on celebratory events, congregations, and gatherings at public places during the night curfew period says an order from the authority that exempts licensed premises.
An order issued by Chief Secretary Vijay Dev reads, “A detailed assessment of the situation in Delhi has been made and considering the threat posed by the mutant UK strain of Covid-19 virus and after observing the local incidents of Covid-19 pandemic in Delhi, it is apprehended that gatherings, congregations, and public celebrations of New Year pose a considerable threat of spread of virus and may cause setback to the appreciable gains made in the suppression of chain of transmission of Covid-19 cases in Delhi.”
The order further adds that night curfew will be in force, and no new year celebratory events, congregations, and gatherings at the public place will be permitted from 11 pm of December 31 to 6 am of January 1, 2021, and also from 11 pm of January 1 to 6 am of January 2. Public places will not include licensed premises. However, there will be no restriction on the interstate and intrastate movement of persons and goods during the curfew period.
All District magistrates, DCPs, and all concerned authorities have been directed to ensure strict implementation of the order.
Meanwhile, there is no specific announcement from the Gurgaon administration and 50 people are permitted to gather in banquet halls. Noida will follow the 50 per cent capacity rule for indoors and more than 100 people are not allowed to assemble for gathering.
