PUDUCHERRY, MAY 25
Puducherry Lt Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Tuesday said the territorial administration did not resort to a total lockdown in the wake of the spike in COVID-19 cases as this would only cause hardship to the people.
‘Only a partial lockdown permitting essential services between 5 AM and noon every day is in force now as total lockdown would disrupt normal life and cause hardship to the people,’ she told reporters on her return from Telangana.
