Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali has announced a province-wide lockdown after midnight tonight (Sunday).
“After 12am tonight Sindh will undergo a lockdown,” CM said. “People will not be allowed to venture out of their homes unnecessarily.”
In an earlier statement issued after a meeting, the chief minister had said that the government was taking this important decision in the interest of people and hoped that the public will support the government.
Sindh is struggling to contain the coronavirus, as it has reported the highest number of coronavirus cases as far as provinces are concerned, with the total tally rising to 292.
“We are about to take major and difficult decisions for the safety of people,” Murad had said, adding that the government was concerned about the welfare of the masses.
“There’s no option but to impose lockdown in the province and I will announce this later today,” Murad had said and urged the masses to stay home. No one will be allowed to hit the road without any strong reason.
