The Delhi government is considering imposing night curfew in the capital to curb the spurt in Covid cases and deaths. This has been submitted by the Delhi government before the Delhi High Court.

The government has stated that there is no decision yet on imposing any kind of curfew, but it is under active consideration depending on the Covid situation.

The response came on the court’s query over plans to impose night or weekend curfews, like in other cities.
