In view of a surge in coronavirus cases, the Rajasthan government has decided to impose night curfew in eight cities from Monday. The state government has also made it mandatory for people visiting the state to carry a Covid-19 negative test report.
The cities where the night curfew will be imposed from 11 pm to 5 am include Ajmer, Bhilwara, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, Sagwada (Dungarpur) and Kushalgarh (Banswara).
The decisions were taken during a review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
