The Maharashtra government on Friday imposed a 9-hour night curfew in the state to be effective immediately as the state has been seeing a steep rise in the number of Covid cases. The number of Omicron cases are also on the rise in the state.
Gathering of more than 5 people at any place during the night will not be allowed while essential services will be exempt.
The government has also put a cap on the number of people allowed to attend wedding events and religious programmes.
Maharashtra minister Anil Parab said not more than 100 people can attend such events organised in an enclosed place and 250 people will be allowed at open-air events. Hotel, spa, theatres can continue their operations with 50% of their total capacity, the minister said.
