Chetan Deora, District Collector of Udaipur has indicated that the district administration may take a decision on implementing a full Lockdown on Sunday. This will be applicable from the weekend following 3 August, which is a festival weekend – Eid ul Adha and Raksha Bandhan.

This follows a directive given on 27 July re-implementing curfew hours between 9pm till 5am. Markets will be shut at 8pm and curfew will begin by 9pm.
